Norgren Sizing Calculations

Cylinder Sizing Calculations

Please enter the following information.

Force = Pressure X Area of Piston (F=PA)

Load (in Pounds) to Move 1 Adjusted to Consider Coefficient of Friction
Working Air Pressure (PSIG) 30 Pressure available at the Cylinder
Performance Factor 2.00 Compensates for Piston Breakaway Force and Cylinder orientation.
This value should be between 1.25 to 2.00
Standard Cylinder Size 0.50 Based upon the above inputs
