  2. Pascal's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_law

    This additional pressure on the right piston will cause an upward force = = which is 50 times bigger than the force on the left piston. The difference between force and pressure is important: the additional pressure is exerted against the entire area of the larger piston. Since there is 50 times the area, 50 times as much force is exerted on ...

  3. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    Piston motion equations. The reciprocating motion of a non-offset piston connected to a rotating crank through a connecting rod (as would be found in internal combustion engines) can be expressed by equations of motion. This article shows how these equations of motion can be derived using calculus as functions of angle (angle domain) and of ...

  4. Piston pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_pump

    Piston pump compared to a plunger pump. A piston pump is a type of positive displacement pump where the high-pressure seal reciprocates with the piston. [1] Piston pumps can be used to move liquids or compress gases. They can operate over a wide range of pressures. High pressure operation can be achieved without adversely affecting flow rate.

  5. Piston - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston

    A piston is a component of reciprocating engines, reciprocating pumps, gas compressors, hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic cylinders, among other similar mechanisms. It is the moving component that is contained by a cylinder and is made gas-tight by piston rings. In an engine, its purpose is to transfer force from expanding gas in the cylinder ...

  6. Newcomen atmospheric engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcomen_atmospheric_engine

    To the end of the piston rod was attached a cord passing over two pulleys and a weight hung down from the cord's end. Upon releasing the catch, the piston was sharply drawn down to the bottom of the cylinder by the pressure differential between the atmosphere and the created vacuum; enough force was thus generated to raise a 60 lb (27 kg) weight.

  7. Pneumatic cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_cylinder

    Schematic symbol for pneumatic cylinder with spring return. Pneumatic cylinder, also known as air cylinder, is a mechanical device which uses the power of compressed gas to produce a force in a reciprocating linear motion. [ 1 ]: 85. Like in a hydraulic cylinder, something forces a piston to move in the desired direction.

  8. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

    t. e. In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, Fs = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation ...

  9. Axial piston pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_piston_pump

    An axial piston pump has a number of pistons (usually an odd number) arranged in a circular array within a housing which is commonly referred to as a cylinder block, rotor or barrel. This cylinder block is driven to rotate about its axis of symmetry by an integral shaft that is, more or less, aligned with the pumping pistons (usually parallel ...
