How do I calculate Telescopic Cylinder Forces?

To calculate Telescopic Cylinder Forces: Enter Working pressure, Stroke per stage, Stage 1 diameter (innermost) and other values. Click Calculate. INDUGRID computes the result instantly using the formula: F_stage [N] = π/4 × D_stage² [cm²] × p [bar] × 10. No registration required.

What units does the Telescopic Cylinder Forces calculator use?

The Telescopic Cylinder Forces calculator uses the following units: bar, mm. SI units are used by default.

Is the Telescopic Cylinder Forces calculator free?

Yes. The INDUGRID Telescopic Cylinder Forces calculator is completely free, requires no account or login, and works on desktop and mobile browsers.

💡Telescopic cylinders are used where large strokes are needed but installation space is limited — typical applications: truck tippers, dump trucks, agricultural machinery. Each stage has a different force at the same pressure.

F_stage [N] = π/4 × D_stage² [cm²] × p [bar] × 10

Input

Working pressure iHydraulic working pressure in bar.

bar

Stroke per stage iStroke length of each individual stage in mm.

Stage 1 diameter (innermost) iDiameter of the innermost (smallest) plunger in mm.

Stage 2 diameter iDiameter of stage 2 plunger in mm. Set to 0 if not used.

Stage 3 diameter iDiameter of stage 3 plunger in mm. Set to 0 if not used.

Stage 4 diameter iDiameter of stage 4 plunger in mm. Set to 0 if not used.
