Hydraulic Cylinder Formulas |
||
|---|---|---|
| Cylinder Formulas For: | Word Formula | Letter Formula |
| Cylinder Area In Square Inches |
Area =  x Radius2 (Inches)Area =  x Diameter2 (Inches) |
A = r2 A =  or A = .785D2 |
| Cylinder Force In Pounds, Push or Pull |
Force = Pressure (psi) x Net Area (Square Inches) | F = psi x A or F = PA |
| Cylinder Velocity or Speed n Feet/Second |
Velocity =  |
V = orV =  |
| Cylinder Volume Capacity In Gallons of Fluid |
Velocity =  Velocity =  |
V =  V =  / = Length of Stroke |
| Cylinder Flow Rate In Gallons Per Minute |
Flow Rate =  |
Q =  or Q = 3.117vA |
| Fluid Motor Torque In Inch Pounds |
Torque =  Torque =  Torque =  |
T =  orT =  T =  T =  orT =  |
| Fluid Motor Torque/100 psi In Inch Pounds |
Torque/100 psi =  |
T100psi =  |
| Fluid Motor Speed In Revolutions/Minute |
Speed =  |
n =  |
| Fluid Motor Power In Horsepower Output |
Horsepower =  |
HP =  |
