This document describes the design of a piston linkage system. It defines the key dimensions of the piston cylinder and connecting links. Equations are provided to calculate the position, velocity, acceleration and torque requirements of the piston over one revolution as well as the stress in the connecting rods. The system requires an operating speed of 282.578 rpm and maximum torque of 1839.819 lbf-in to function properly within the stress limits of the connecting rod material.
