example, if the PST Travel is 30%, what is the pressure value to reach 70% travel. The
Y-value selected must be on the upper curve of the graph.
Finding the corresponding actuator pressure (2) on the Y-axis.
b. Calculating the PST Min Pressure, which must be less than 2. PST Min Pressure = Spring
Init.(5) pressure + (Spring Final (4) pressure – Spring Init (5) pressure) x 0.4.
8. Determine the friction minimum, friction maximum and breakout value by:
a. Clicking Show Computed Result and the Extended Signature Result window appears
(Figure 248).
Figure 248 Extended Signature Result Window - Computed Values
b. Calculating the minimum friction = Friction * 0.40.
c. Calculating the maximum friction = Friction * 2.
d. Calculating the breakout = LSpringRange -USpringRange/Friction(%).
