From part specificationsStarting from specifications you already have — the bore and the rod diameter — it works out the thrust produced and the permissible buckling load, and judges whether the cylinder is adequate for the operating conditions.From operating conditionsFrom operating conditions such as the mass of the moving part and the speed, it works out what the cylinder has to provide — the thrust, the pressure-receiving area and the energy to absorb — and looks for parts that meet it.
