2 Best Pneumatics Air Cylinders’ Drive System Full Stroke Time & Stroke End Velocity How to Read the Graph This graph shows the full stroke time and stroke end velocity when a cylinder drive system is composed of the most suitable equipment. As the graph shown below, various load ratio and full stroke time which corresponds to stroke and terminal velocity are indicated for every cylinder bore size. When the cylinder bore size is o, its stroke is L, and load ratio is d%, full stroke time t is obtainted, as an arrow mark q, by reading the value on the abscissa over the point at which the ordinate L hits the full stroke line (red line) of d%. Terminal velocity u is obtained, as an arrow mark w, by reading the value on the abscissa below the point at which the ordinate L hits the terminal velocity line (blue line) of d%.
