From application requirements to a better-specified pneumatic system.
Find the calculation, reference, or product document for your next decision. Start with a task below, or search the complete resource library.
Start with your task
Each path combines preliminary calculation with the standard, terminology, product, or document check that usually follows.
Move from load and pressure to bore, force, speed, air demand, and the product information needed for selection.
Connect machine air demand with line pressure loss, receiver capacity, leakage, and air-treatment decisions.
Estimate holding force and cup size, then check safety factor, evacuation time, and application conditions.
Resource directory
Use calculators for preliminary sizing, standards for scope and interchange checks, the glossary for terminology, and the Document Center for model-matched files.
Size cylinders, estimate air demand, review pressure and flow, check vacuum handling, and convert engineering units.

Use the assumptions and units shown in each calculator. Carry the result into a model-specific review.
Estimate theoretical, effective, and safety-adjusted push and pull force from bore size, rod diameter, working pressure, friction allowance, and safety factor.
Open calculatorFind the minimum pneumatic cylinder bore needed for a target force after pressure, rod diameter, friction allowance, and safety factor are considered.
Open calculatorEstimate cylinder air demand from bore, rod diameter, stroke length, action type, pressure, and cycles per minute before checking compressor capacity.
Open calculatorCalculate the free-air flow required to hit a target stroke time for pneumatic cylinder extension and retraction.
Open calculatorEstimate straight-run compressed-air pressure drop from flow, pipe length, internal diameter, working pressure, and equivalent fitting length.
Open calculatorEstimate theoretical and safety-adjusted holding force from vacuum level, cup diameter, number of cups, and safety factor.
Open calculatorSelection notes
No. Pressure and piston area establish a theoretical starting point. Friction and exhaust back pressure reduce the force available to move the load. Check motion, guidance, cushioning, and the selected model's operating limits as well.
Festo: cylinder force and operating conditionsISO 15552 defines a dimensional series for cylinders with detachable mountings. Use it to compare the relevant interfaces, then verify the actual drawings, stroke, ports, sensors, accessories, and operating requirements of both models.
ISO 15552: scope and dimensional requirementsStart with the label or model details you have. Add known dimensions and application conditions, then request the matching drawing, datasheet, or manual. File availability depends on the confirmed product series and revision.
