Piston Force Calculator
Find the force a piston produces from pressure and bore.
A piston's force is the fluid pressure acting over its face area.
The math behind it
F = P·A, where A = π·(bore/2)². A wider bore multiplies the force for the same pressure.
Worked example
10 bar on a 50 mm bore → about 1963 N.
FAQ
Why use a bigger cylinder?
Larger area gives more force at the same pressure.
