Pneumatic Cylinder Force Formula
Extension Force
F = P × A
A = π × (D/2)²
Where:
- • F = force (N)
- • P = pressure (Pa)
- • A = piston area (m²)
- • D = piston diameter (m)
Retraction Force
F = P × (A_piston - A_rod)
A_rod = π × (d/2)²
Where d = rod diameter
Note: Actual force may be lower due to friction and efficiency losses.
