Had a couple things to figure out, but I'll finish it up on friday and hopefully bend some tube!

Mike speaking: oh yeah i forgot about that hehe
I like the way you had to stand on a 5 gallon bucket to take the pics...

this is mike again
how are you going to brace this area. it looks like its going to be a weak point.
I'm just going to leave it unwelded and not brace it at all
With the swing arm being a lever the ram won't have to push but a couple hundred pounds. I'm still going to gusset that part though.

The cylinder will be pushing a few thousand pounds.
you really think so?? I was thinking max 1000 or 1500Originally posted by eight

Well, they say a 2" cylinder is the minimum size that will work. Most pumps have a 2500 psi max pressure. So 3.14 * 1^2 * 2500 = 7850 lbs of force is about what it would take to bend somethin like a 2" .120" wall tube. And there's probably a reason the protools kit uses a 10 ton cylinder.
well I guess we'll see if my **** hole contraption works!

I don't think it's as simple as that. 7850lbs to bend .120" wall? what kind of moment arm are you using doug. I have know idea what is really going on in thise pics?
I was just figuring what the max pressure for a 2" bore cylinder would be because I hear that's the minimun, and I threw out the 2" .120" wall because that's probably more than most people will ever bend. If you want to figure bending moment it gets more complicated yes cause it changes with the angle of the cylinder and arm.
Think this should do it? Or should I get more creative
