63 mm Pneumatic Cylinder: Force Chart and Air Consumption

A 63 mm bore pneumatic cylinder (≈ 2.48 in) has a Ø20 mm rod and, per the Fenitsa catalogue, pushes 187 kg and pulls 168 kg at 6 bar (87 psi). Its piston area is 31.2 cm².

Typical uses: general automation — the most used bore, pushing boxes and cartons, lifting light loads. Standard strokes 50–500 mm; any stroke on request up to 3,000 mm for Ø63.

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 80 kg load at a 50 % load ratio (usual for moving loads), a Ø63 cylinder needs about 5.0 bar (73 psi).

Against Ø50, the Ø63 bore has 59 % more piston area and pushes 69 kg more at 6 bar; its pull-to-push ratio is 90 %.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much force does a 63 mm pneumatic cylinder produce?

Per the catalogue, 187 kg push and 168 kg pull at 6 bar; at 10 bar the theoretical push is 318 kgf (701 lbf).

What rod size does a 63 mm cylinder have?

Ø20 mm (0.79 in).

How much air does a 63 mm cylinder use?

About 4.1 litres of free air per double stroke for a 100 mm stroke at 6 bar.

What load can a Ø63 cylinder move at 6 bar?

About 95 kg as a moving load at a 50 % load ratio; for static clamping up to the catalogue 187 kg.
