Fluid Flow Table of Contents
Hydraulic and Pneumatic Knowledge

Effective force of a cylinder working at an angle to direction of the load travel:

    F = T x sin(A)

T is the total cylinder force, in pounds
F is the part of the force which is effective
A is the least angle, in degrees between cylinder axis and load direction
