Arm Motion & Torque Calculation Spreadsheet

This document contains calculations to determine the range of motion and torque generated by a piston-actuated arm. It provides inputs like arm length, boom length, piston dimensions, and supply pressure. It then calculates values for the extended and contracted states of the piston including angles, forces, and torque generated. The maximum force and boom angle from horizontal are reported for both the extended and contracted states.
