Pneumatic Cylinder Force & Air Consumption Calculator
About Pneumatic Cylinder Force Calculation
Pneumatic cylinders use compressed air to produce linear motion. The force generated depends on the pressure and the effective piston area. Calculating this helps in system design, actuator selection, and air consumption estimation.
Formula
Force = Pressure × Area
- Pressure: Can be in kg/cm², bar, or psi.
- Area: Calculated from piston diameter.
Why Stroke and SPM Matter
The stroke length combined with the stroke rate gives you the total air volume usage, crucial for compressor sizing and energy efficiency in pneumatic systems.
