hold? it sounds like you are asking how much pressure can you put in the piston? if so, that is spec'd out for the pistons by the manufacture

if you mean, how much force can the piston deliver when actuated, multiply the air pressure you are putting into the piston (PSI) times the area of the cylinder inside diameter (in sq inches)

for example, a piston with a 2" inside diameter is PI * R^2 = 3. 14 sq inches

so if you apply 60 psi it will push with 3.14 * 60 = 180 lbs of force.

Is that what you are asking?
