Our Systematic approach is a step by step tutorial on how to get the most out of our Press-In-A-Box approach to press building.
Step 1: Select the right Multicyl for the job
The first and most important part of the system is the Multicyl cylinder, as it is the power source for the system. The two major considerations during cylinder selection are tonnage and stroke. Tonnage is important as your Multicyl system will need enough force to do the job, and stroke is important as the Multicyl must have enough travel to both do the work and allow for parts loading. Note that the Multicyl’s stroke consists of both an advance stroke and a power stroke – click here for a detailed description of how a Multicyl works.
Use our tonnage calculator to determine your force requirements.
To use our tonnage calculator select either the hole diameter or shear length option. Then select your material on the right or fill in the tensile strength of the material you are using (KSI). Fill in the rest of the data and hit calculate. You will be given the tonnage requirement and a list of potential Multicyl cylinders for the application.
