Information

Single acting cylinder

This is a base model for a hydraulic cylinder. This is a model with no friction and no mass of a single acting cylinder. The stroke of the cylinder cannot be negative. The volume in the chamber is given by:

where

V	:	Volume
	:	Dead volume for the chamber
A	:	Piston area
	:	Relative distance between flanges
lengthRod	:	Length of piston rod

The pressure in the chamber is given by the equation:

where

	:	Pressure change
	:	Bulk modulus of the media in the chamber
	:	Mass flow rate
	:	Density of the medium in the chamber
	:	Relative velocity between flanges
A	:	Piston area
V	:	Volume

Limitations

The piston has no mass, the cylinder has no friction, and there are no chamber walls that the piston can hit.
