العربية50 mm Pneumatic Cylinder: Force Chart and Air Consumption
A 50 mm bore pneumatic cylinder (≈ 1.97 in) has a Ø20 mm rod and, per the Fenitsa catalogue, pushes 118 kg and pulls 99 kg at 6 bar (87 psi). Its piston area is 19.6 cm².
Typical uses: assembly fixtures, conveyor stops and diverters, cutting of light materials. Standard strokes 50–500 mm; any stroke on request up to 3,000 mm for Ø50.
Force Chart by Pressure
Theoretical values; catalogue 6 bar figures allow for friction.
| Pressure | Push (N) | Push (kgf) | Push (lbf) | Pull (kgf) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 bar (58 psi) | 785 | 80 | 177 | 67 |
| 6 bar (87 psi) | 1,178 | 120 | 265 | 101 |
| 8 bar (116 psi) | 1,571 | 160 | 353 | 135 |
| 10 bar (145 psi) | 1,963 | 200 | 441 | 168 |
Catalogue at 6 bar: push 118 kg, pull 99 kg.
Air Consumption (6 bar, double stroke)
Free air in litres.
| Stroke (mm) | Air (L) |
|---|---|
| 50 | 1.3 |
| 100 | 2.5 |
| 200 | 5.0 |
| 300 | 7.5 |
| 500 | 12.5 |
Series and Mountings in This Bore
FMY (ISO 15552, magnetic piston, adjustable cushioning), PAG-PAGY (CETOP RP 43P, aluminium body) and PNS-PNSY (CETOP RP 43P, steel body); every series also as double rod (C), tandem (T) and two-position (D). Mountings: clevis, flange, foot, trunnion, rod-end clevis and spherical eye.
Application Example
To move a 50 kg load at a 50 % load ratio (usual for moving loads), a Ø50 cylinder needs about 5.0 bar (72 psi).
Compared with Neighbouring Bores
| Bore | Rod | Push 6 bar (kg) | Pull 6 bar (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ø40 | Ø16 | 75 | 63 |
| Ø50 ◄ | Ø20 | 118 | 99 |
| Ø63 | Ø20 | 187 | 168 |
Against Ø40, the Ø50 bore has 56 % more piston area and pushes 43 kg more at 6 bar; its pull-to-push ratio is 84 %.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much force does a 50 mm pneumatic cylinder produce?
Per the catalogue, 118 kg push and 99 kg pull at 6 bar; at 10 bar the theoretical push is 200 kgf (441 lbf).
What rod size does a 50 mm cylinder have?
Ø20 mm (0.79 in).
How much air does a 50 mm cylinder use?
About 2.5 litres of free air per double stroke for a 100 mm stroke at 6 bar.
What load can a Ø50 cylinder move at 6 bar?
About 60 kg as a moving load at a 50 % load ratio; for static clamping up to the catalogue 118 kg.
