Calculating Pneumatic Force

I know we all already shipped our bots out, but I'm curious about something. How would one go about calculating the force that one actuater can exert? I need to figure out how much force the largest actuater that Bimba offers, and how much force the original (the actuater that comes with the kit) can put out. I believe that the largest (2" bore, 24" stroke) retracts with a pressure of about 150-170 pounds at 55 psi. What is the actuater that came with the kit though? I don't know it's measurements, so I can't really approximate it.

Thanks for your help.
