Piston diameter D mm
Piston rod diameter d mm
Pressure p [atm fiz.] [bar] [MPa] [mmHg]
η factor
Pushing force
[N]
[kG]
Pulling force
Pushing force at nominal PN pressure, η factor = 1
A pneumatic actuator’s force can be calculated using the following formula:
theoretical force = pressure * piston;s active surface
To calculate a piston’s active area you can use one of the two formulas, depending on the type of force (pushing or pulling).
usable force = pressure * piston’s active surface * η factor
