A description of your mechcanism would be helpfull. What bore dia. are you using? I can't imagine 15lb force is all your getting from a design similar to a fork lift unless you are pivoting an arm with the cylinder and the cylinder is closer to the pivot point than the load. We are using a 2" bore cylinder and with 60psi even on the rod side of the cylinder you have 170lbf., and we are also using a 2.25:1 advantage which gives us even more force. Post a description of your mechanical device, a sketch maybe.

There is no shame in admitting someone is better than you at something doesn't make them a better person just means they have skill you haven't figured out yet. The only shame is if you are too proud to ask for help and to learn. - Mc Kenna [more]
