Cylinder Design Calculator

For years we’ve looked for a simple online force calculator that our customers can use as they specify their order and we never found one. In true Purakal style, we solved the problem by building one to order. We hope you find it as useful as we do. Want to share this? Please do — put it to work!

STEP 1:
SELECT YOUR PART NUMBER FROM DROP-DOWNS.

STEP 2:
INPUT YOUR STROKE, OPERATING PRESSURE AND OIL FLOW RATE.

(ALL FIELDS MARKED WITH AN * ARE REQUIRED)

* Series: * Mount: * Bore Diameter: * Stroke (In.): * Rod Diameter:
* Rod Thread: * Cushion: * Ports: * Operating Pressure (PSI): Oil Flow Rate (GPM):
