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

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!!!
