- F extend
- 80.4 kN
- F retract
- 60.3 kN
How it works
Calculate force output of a hydraulic cylinder from pressure and piston area.
Who it's for: Fluid power engineers sizing cylinders for lift and press applications.
F = p·A for extension; effective area is smaller on retraction due to rod diameter.
Pressure in bar converted to Pa internally.
Force in newtons.
How to use
- Enter pressure, bore diameter, and rod diameter (for retraction mode).
- Read extend and retract forces.
