Apparently that only happens if you power it through the end of the stroke. So a little common sense could go a long way. [Reply]  [No Email]

Rod diameter and length of unsupported span determine column strenght. (in other words, bending strength) Long skinny rods bend easier than short fat. For a ball park, look at some comparable specs on a new cylinder that has the same bore, rod dia, and length of stroke. [Reply]  [No Email]
