A pipe bender uses a double-acting pneumatic cylinder.
Determine:
a) Calculate the minimum diameter that the piston must have if the force it has to exert is 200 kgf and the compressor pressure is 8 bar.
b) Calculate the air flow that the compressor must supply if 25 bends are made per minute and the rod stroke is 60 cm.
c) The speed of the rod if the pressure drops to 5.3 bar.
d) What happens to the force of the cylinder if the pressure is increased to 10 bar.
e) Determine the diameter of the rod if it is used with group 1(buckling)
