If the stroke is long, the forces on the bearing between head and piston rod are high.

In order to avoid a defect, we recommend to select a larger diameter (cylinders with

larger piston diameters also offer larger piston rod diameters).

Diameters and strokes are standardized; the most common values are:

TABLE 1: Diameters and strokes are standardized [3].

**Cylinder Bore diameters ø in [mm]:

The available diameters depend on, and are limited by, the type / standard. The
availability of strokes on the other hand is less limited.

The maximum force generated by a cylinder depends on:

• Operating pressure
• Diameter of the piston

• Friction of the in piston
