Hydraulic Cylinder
Compute theoretical thrust, piston velocity and output power for double-acting hydraulic cylinders in advance/retract strokes.
Inputs
Formula
F_adv = p·πD²/4; F_ret = p·(πD²/4 − πd²/4); v = Q/A; P = F·v
How to use
- Fill in Bore dia. D, Rod dia. d, Supply pressure p, Flow Q in the Inputs section (watch the unit on each field).
- Click Calculate; the tool evaluates the formula shown above.
- Read Advance thrust, Retract thrust, Piston velocity, Output power in the results area.
Formula notesCylinder force F = p·A = p·π d²/4; p = system pressure, d = piston diameter.
