Hydraulics Calculators puts the math on the bench
A free hydraulic-cylinder calculator estimates force, speed, stroke time, chamber volume, and theoretical hydraulic power, with imperial and metric inputs.
- For
- People sizing or checking hydraulic cylinders
- Worth noticing
- Results include extend and retract figures, and the page flags pressure losses, friction, leakage, wear, and other real-world limits.
Field notes
The cylinder form takes bore and rod diameters, stroke length, working pressure, and flow rate, then groups its outputs into force, speed and time, geometry, oil volume, and theoretical power. Its explanation notes that retract force is lower for a single-rod cylinder because the rod reduces the effective area. The page also cautions that pressure losses, back pressure, friction, leakage, temperature, and wear can make actual performance differ from the theoretical figures.
