Hydraulic Power Calculator
Calculate hydraulic power from oil flow, pressure and overall system efficiency.
Enter System Details
Formula
Power (kW) = Pressure (bar) × Flow (L/min) ÷ 600
Required motor power is then adjusted for overall system efficiency.
Use 100% efficiency for hydraulic power only. Use a lower value to estimate electric motor or engine power required.
