Formula and methodology
Formula: A = πD²/4; ideal force = PA; estimated effective force = PAη.
The pressure-area relation gives a first-pass pneumatic actuator force, while the explicit efficiency field keeps seal, linkage, and mechanical losses separate from ideal pressure force.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Gauge pressure — Pa; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000
- Bore diameter — m; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
- Mechanical efficiency — %; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 100
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Gauge pressure | 600000 |
| Bore diameter | 0.05 |
| Mechanical efficiency | 90 |
The ideal force is about 1,178 N and the efficiency-adjusted estimate is about 1,060 N.
Assumptions and limits
- Pressure is gauge pressure applied uniformly over the full piston face and the bore is circular.
- Efficiency is a user-supplied mechanical factor expressed as a percentage.
- Rod-side area, dynamic friction, cushioning, pressure drop, speed, leakage, and component ratings are not modeled.
