Effortlessly determine the output force of your single acting pneumatic cylinder with our free online calculator. Simply input the cylinder bore diameter and supply pressure to quickly get precise push force results for your industrial and mechanical engineering applications.
Formula:
The formula for calculating the output force of a single acting pneumatic cylinder (extension stroke) is:
F = P × A
Where:
- F = Output Force (e.g., Newtons, lbf, kgf)
- P = Supply Pressure (e.g., bar, psi, kPa)
- A = Effective Piston Area (calculated as π × (D/2)2)
- D = Cylinder Bore Diameter (e.g., mm, inches)
