Cylinder Calculators

Cylinder Calculators

Hydraulic cylinders are the workhorses of fluid power. Getting the right bore, stroke, and rod size is essential. These calculators provide all the key parameters needed to correctly size a cylinder for load and speed.

Tools include:

• Cylinder Area Calculator – Calculates the effective area of the piston or rod side

• Cylinder Volume Calculator – Helps determine fluid volume requirements for a given stroke

• Rod Size vs. Bore Ratio Calculator – Ensures stability and strength

• Extension & Retraction Force Calculators – Account for pressure differences on either side of the piston

✅ Use Case: Used by hydraulic design engineers for custom cylinder builds and system replacements.
