Alright, I think you're right. I started off with my project without much in-depth knowledge about cylinders, so my apologies for not looking into it sufficiently. I will contact the hydraulic manfucturer(s). Thank you for your help.
Thank you for your answer.
I think you have a viable solution for simple designs indeed. In my case though, I'm looking at multiple cylinders with a bore of 200 mm applying almost 500 kN of force used for the rotation of a big platform. This requires bearings and possibly less customary pin...
I have attached an Excel-worksheet in which the problem should be clearified. The problem concerns the calculation of the bending moment acting in a pin in double shear, experiencing a certain load from a hydraulic cylinder. The plate thicknesses should be taken into account. Specifications and...
