Hydraulic Force vs. Pressure and Cylinder Size
Calculator for hydraulic force produced by double acting hydraulic pistons based on pressure and cylinder dimensions. Supports both imperial (psi, inches) and metric (bar, mm) units.
Hydraulic Force Calculator
Calculate the force produced by a double-acting hydraulic piston based on pressure and cylinder dimensions.
Formula for rod side force (F1): F1 = P1 × (π × (d2² - d1²) / 4)
Formula for opposite rod side force (F2): F2 = P2 × (π × d2² / 4)
Where:
- F1, F2 = rod force (N or lb)
- P1, P2 = pressure (bar or psi)
- d1 = rod diameter (mm or in)
- d2 = piston diameter (mm or in)
