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

  1. Enter pressure, bore diameter, and rod diameter (for retraction mode).
  2. Read extend and retract forces.
