Hi Johan R. (again), a "right cylinder" has end faces at right angles to the axis. So the biggest sphere you could put inside, would be tangent to the cylinder walls (all the way around) and touch the end faces at single points in the center of the faces. You should be able to handle the math from there? -- Cheers, -- Mr. d.05/14/20
