By looking at your picture, you might want to start looking for new H beam. It looks small.
Lookin hefty :thumbsup:
When you calculate your cycle time, are you saying a cycle is the time to split or the time to split and then retract?
When I calculated it with 4.5" bore with 2.5" rod at 30" stroke @ 42gpm, extension is 3 seconds and retract is 2 seconds. That is only figuring one cylinder. You have two cylinders dividing the flow, so you are actually looking at a 12 second extension and a 8 second retract. Because you are doubling the area, ending up with a 20 second cycle time total. Combine the 42gpm and 33gpm for 75gpm will give you a 6.5 second extension and 4.5 second retract. Total 11 second cycle.
For 50ton, you will need 1500psi capacity.
