Actuators & Valves PIstonPIston SurfaceSurface AreaArea F = P x A Force Where: F = Force in Lbs. P = Operating Pressure in lbs. per square inch A = Area of Piston in square inches Operating Pressure So, by using two pistons... Why 2 Racks & Pistons? Force is Doubled
Actuators & Valves If Force is Doubled… Torque Output Is also Doubled!!! Torque Output Is also Doubled!!!
Actuators & Valves So, it was out with the old…
Actuators & Valves And… In with the New!!!
Actuators & Valves T = F x M.A. Where: T = Torque in Lb.In. F = Force in Lbs. M.A. = Moment Arm in inches Torque
