Pressure in a CPS system?
Posted: Fri May 06, 2011 1:13 pm
Does anyone have any idea as to the extent of pressure cause by an elastic bladder? Specifically, I'm interested in the amount of pressure normally generated by a mid-size cylindrical elastic bladder (like that in a CPS 4100).
With air-pressure applications I can easily calculate these sorts of things, but I'm lost when it comes to elastics! I'm curious because I am currently building a CPS homemade and many of the valves are being made from scratch in order to save weight and increase customization. If I know the maximum PSI generated by a full elastic bladder, I can determined which materials I want to use in construction.
Thanks!
