Surface
Area
F = P x A
Force
Where:F = Force in Lbs.P = Operating Pressure in lbs. per square inchA = Area of Piston in square inches
OperatingPressure
So, by using two pistons...
Why 2 Racks & Pistons?Why 2 Racks & Pistons?Force is Doubled
Actuators & Valves
If Force is Doubled…If Force is Doubled…Torque Output
Is alsoDoubled!!!
Torque OutputIs also
Doubled!!!

Actuators & Valves
T = F x M.A.Where:T = Torque in Lb.In.F = Force in Lbs.M.A. = Moment Arm in inches
