I am new to the site, hopefully I posted in the right area. I am looking for an equation, I am using a cylinder to move a live center in and out but I need to make sure I get a cylinder large enough to hold it in place under load. So this will be generic information for now, to help find an equation.
I have a 60deg live center holding a 10,000lbs object. How much weight would that be wanting to push my live center back.
I hope this isn't to confusing. I just cant find anything online because I don't know the correct terminology to use.
