Did we solve your problem today?

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.
