Trunk Piston and Connecting Rod: Ideal Angle and Force Comparison
Explore an in-line slider-crank and compare rod inclination with a static entered-force decomposition. The capped-angle calculation does not predict dynamic engine loads.
Link or Connecting Rod Mechanism Explained: How It Works, Parts, Diagram, Animation and Uses
Explore an inline slider-crank with fixed link lengths. Calculate piston travel, connecting-rod angle, rod ratio and cycle-average piston speed.
Single-Rod Hydraulic Cylinder: Ideal Net Rod Load and Nominal Stress
Piston Rod explained — how it transmits force from piston to crank, sizing rules, buckling limits, and real examples from diesel engines to hydraulic presses.
Hydraulic Ram: Pump Context and Cylinder Force Calculator | FIRGELLI
Distinguish the hydraulic ram pump from a hydraulic cylinder, and calculate ideal full-bore cylinder force. Pump delivery and equipment capacity are not calculated.
Half-Yoke Connection: Central-Crank Pump Motion Calculator
Explore a half-yoke joining pump piston rods around a central crank. Calculate stroke, selected piston position, velocity and connecting-rod angle.
