Air Cylinder Force Table

Cylinder force calculator metric units air pressure.

Air cylinder force table.

Pneumatic cylinders come in thousands of variations. Here s a look at different types how to calculate force speed and air consumptions available options and when to consider special designs. Standard air cylinders round type standard air cylinders square cover compact air cylinders. Piston cylinder bore diameter.

Enter the diameter of the cylinder bore or the piston and for better precision use the average of the two if possible. Mechanically jointed rodless cylinders. Smc software that assist in choosing among 50 series the most appropriate cylinder for a given application. Magnetically coupled rodless cylinders.

Example single acting piston. Guide cylinders mg series guide cylinders cx series. Air cylinders can have front nose basic style double clevis or another mounting style used for attachment to rigid surfaces. Cylinder theoretical piston force.

Many air cylinders commonly have a round body made of steel stainless steel aluminum or brass. F p π d 2 4 10 5 n m 2 π 0 1 m 2 4 785 n 0 785 kn air cylinder pressure force diagram. The following table shows theoretical piston forces for cylinders at different pressures. Stopper cylinder macq air table slide twin bore cylinder double rod end twin bore air table narrow profile close nfpa tie rod standard standard steel tough duty flush mount flush mount rod lock fm series rod lock back to back 3 position.

Use this to work out the size of cylinder that your application requires. This is the force generated by a piston cylinder of a specified diameter and applied pressure and can be displayed in a choice of different force measurement units. Force pull pounds. A cylinder s theoretical force should be 50 100 larger than the force required.

The body may also be nickel plated for corrosion resistance. Other mounting styles support attachment to the auto switch. Force pull newtons.
