Re: Designing with Pneumatics-Catcher
To find the force a pneumatic cylinder produces in the extend direction, you multiply the area of the cylinders bore by the pressure you are applying to it (max of 60 psi).
To calculate the force in the retract direction you take the area of the bore and subtract the area of the cylinder rod, then multiply by air pressure applied.
