Hydraulic System Calculator

Estimate the pressure, flow, and hydraulic power required for a double-acting cylinder cycle.

System Sizing Utility

Cylinder Cycle Requirements

Enter the cylinder geometry, required forces, and cycle times. The calculator uses the larger directional requirement for system sizing.

Bore Diameter (mm)

Rod Diameter (mm)

Stroke (mm)

Push Force (kN)

Pull Force (kN)

Extension Time (s)

Retraction Time (s)

System Pressure

Based on the higher pressure direction.

System Flow

Based on the higher directional flow.

Hydraulic Power

Ideal hydraulic power before efficiency losses.

Calculate push and pull force from pressure, bore, and rod size.

Estimate system pressure, flow, and hydraulic power for a cylinder cycle.

Size an accumulator for energy storage, pulsation, or hydraulic shock.

Convert hydraulic pressure values across common engineering units.
