Selected Piston Dimensions, Calculations, and Improvements
EDIT: After first deciding to use McMaster 6453K153, it became apparent that we cannot purchase a companion eye-nut. Although there are some workarounds, none are worthwhile in comparison to switching to 6556K377, which has a thread size of 3/8"-16. The bore size is only marginally larger.
The relevant dimensions and properties of 6453K153 6556K377 are enumerated in the table below:
| Bore Diameter, Inner (in) | Bore Material | Stroke Length (in) | Rod Material | Rod Diameter (in) | Total Length (baseplate to baseplate; in) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-1/8"4 | Aluminum | 5.5 | 303 Stainless Steel | 3/8 | 7.75 |
