Calculate Cylinder Force



Formula

The formula to calculate the Force Exerted by the Cylinder (F) is:

\[ F = P \cdot \pi \cdot \frac{d^2}{4} \]

Where:

Cylinder Force Definition

A pneumatic cylinder is a device that converts pressure delivered by air into an output force. That output force is considered the cylinder force.

Example Problem

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ F = 500 \cdot \pi \cdot \frac{(0.1)^2}{4} \approx 500 \cdot \pi \cdot \frac{0.01}{4} \approx 500 \cdot 0.00785 \approx 3.93 \, \text{N} \]

The force exerted by the cylinder is approximately 3.93 N.
