In this part of the video, the speaker discusses selecting the appropriate cylinder size and parameters for a specific application using a software tool. Key parameters include input pressure, stroke length, mean velocity, load mass, operating direction, and eccentric distances (L1 and L2). The speaker begins calculations with a 16 mm bore and finds many values out of range, indicating the need to adjust the series and bore size. They proceed by selecting different bore sizes (25 mm, then 32 mm) until all parameters are within acceptable ranges. The tool then provides calculated results and tolerances, which can be saved and printed. The speaker highlights the usefulness of the software in selecting the optimal cylinder size by tweaking input parameters to avoid errors and achieve the desired application performance.
