Re: Calculating Pneumatic Force

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.

Check the Pneumatics Manual, it give extend/retract forces for the three sizes of cylinders we are allowed to use.
