Hydraulic Cylinder Pressure Required Calculator
Calculate pressure required to produce a target cylinder force.
Enter Details
GuidePressure = Force ÷ Cylinder Area
Calculates extension and retraction pressure based on bore, rod and required force.
Use this when you know the load and want to estimate the pressure required.
Results
Pressure To Extend— bar— PSI
Pressure To Retract— bar— PSI
Important NoteAllow for friction, mechanical losses, pressure drop, load angle, safety factor and cylinder condition when selecting system pressure.
