Pneumatic Cylinder - Acting Velocity

Calculate pneumatic cylinder acting velocity based on volume flow and piston area.

Pneumatic Cylinder - Acting Velocity

Velocity of a pneumatic cylinder can be calculated using:

s = 28.8 q / A

Where:

  • s = velocity (inches/sec)
  • q = volume flow (cubic feet/min)
  • A = piston area (square inches)
