Be sure to calculate the cylinder buckling.�B When buckling occurs to a cylinder, the cylinder rod may be bent, causing malfunctions or serious accidents. The buckling chart shown at the calculation result view, based on the Euler's equation that is applicable to an upright long column, indicates the maximum safe L values against the piston rod dia. when the cylinder is used with the compressive load that is most frequently applied. The strength in the case that the piston rod is regarded as a long column, the buckling strength, cannot be enhanced by adopting highly tension-proof steel or heat treatment. The only way to improve the buckling strength of a cylinder is to widen the piston rod dia., and therefore, the selection of the piston rod is the very important point. Be sure to read the How to and cautions of use on the left CONTENTS before using. Notes on piston rod buckling Prior to the calculation of the piston rod buckling, consider the cylinder stopping method. The stopping methods of a cylinder include the cylinder stopping method, in which a cylinder is stopped at the stroke end, and the external stopping method, in which a cylinder is stopped with the external stopper.
