Stroke of a cylinder

[truchonm]

I have a question, I don't know if someone can answer me.

I have a cylinder attached to a bar. The cylinder and the bar are fixed, as shown in the picture.

I want the bar to rotate around its axe of rotation, for a distance "x".

Since the cylinder is attached to the bar, how can I calculate the stroke of the cylinder ?

Thank you for the replies

Have you drawn the bar at one end of its travel? Or have you drawn it midway? Assuming it is shown at one end of its travel, you know the distance from the cylinder mount to the bar connection point as drawn. Draw the bar in its other position. Measure the distance from the cylinder mount to the bar connection point in the new position. The difference between the two measurements is the stroke of the cylinder. The cylinder connections at each end must be pivoting, not fixed.

Sorry, when I say fixed, I mean that the parts will not move from their position, but they can rotate around it.
And my question was more like : if I move the bar of 1" to the top, what will be the lenght of the cylinder.

Lay it all out in both positions. Geometry will give you your answer.
