Formula: F = P · A

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Values used:

2. Pressure = 100 bar

3. Bore diameter = 50

5. Force = 19,634.95N

Did this calculator solve your problem today?

The math behind it

F = P·A, A = π·(bore/2)². A larger bore or higher pressure gives more push.

100 bar on a 50 mm bore → about 19.6 kN.

Push vs pull force?

Pulling is lower because the rod reduces the effective piston area.
