80 mm Pneumatic Cylinder: Force Chart and Air Consumption
A 80 mm bore pneumatic cylinder (≈ 3.15 in) has a Ø25 mm rod and, per the Fenitsa catalogue, pushes 301 kg and pulls 272 kg at 6 bar (87 psi). Its piston area is 50.3 cm².
Typical uses: medium pneumatic presses, pallet stops, sliding gates. Standard strokes 50–500 mm; any stroke on request up to 3,000 mm for Ø80.

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) | 2,011 | 205 | 452 | 185 |
| 6 bar (87 psi) | 3,016 | 308 | 678 | 278 |
| 8 bar (116 psi) | 4,021 | 410 | 904 | 370 |
| 10 bar (145 psi) | 5,027 | 513 | 1,130 | 463 |
Catalogue at 6 bar: push 301 kg, pull 272 kg.
Air Consumption (6 bar, double stroke)
Free air in litres.
| Stroke (mm) | Air (L) |
|---|---|
| 50 | 3.3 |
| 100 | 6.6 |
| 200 | 13.2 |
| 300 | 19.9 |
| 500 | 33.1 |
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 130 kg load at a 50 % load ratio (usual for moving loads), a Ø80 cylinder needs about 5.1 bar (74 psi).
Compared with Neighbouring Bores
| Bore | Rod | Push 6 bar (kg) | Pull 6 bar (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ø63 | Ø20 | 187 | 168 |
| Ø80 ◄ | Ø25 | 301 | 272 |
| Ø100 | Ø25 | 471 | 441 |
Against Ø63, the Ø80 bore has 61 % more piston area and pushes 114 kg more at 6 bar; its pull-to-push ratio is 90 %.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much force does a 80 mm pneumatic cylinder produce?
Per the catalogue, 301 kg push and 272 kg pull at 6 bar; at 10 bar the theoretical push is 513 kgf (1,130 lbf).
What rod size does a 80 mm cylinder have?
Ø25 mm (0.98 in).
How much air does a 80 mm cylinder use?
About 6.6 litres of free air per double stroke for a 100 mm stroke at 6 bar.
What load can a Ø80 cylinder move at 6 bar?
About 155 kg as a moving load at a 50 % load ratio; for static clamping up to the catalogue 301 kg.
