One difficult task for any engineer is how to design a cylinder used in an articulating arrangement.  This can be a crane, manlift, a simple jib or just about anything you can imagine.  When designing articulation, there are so many variables to analyze and determine that it is often overwhelming.

Over the last 20 years, I’ve felt your pain and have been perfecting a method of simplifying the process that is going to improve accuracy in the results in a shorter amount of time.  This kit includes both English and metric Excel templates, Solidworks layout templates and 2 instructional videos on the process.  In 30 minutes, you will be well on your way to designing your own cylinder articulation.
