العربية100 mm Pneumatic Cylinder: Force Chart and Air Consumption
A 100 mm bore pneumatic cylinder (≈ 3.94 in) has a Ø25 mm rod and, per the Fenitsa catalogue, pushes 471 kg and pulls 441 kg at 6 bar (87 psi). Its piston area is 78.5 cm².
Typical uses: heavy clamping, lifting tables, bending thin sheet. Standard strokes 50–500 mm; any stroke on request up to 3,000 mm for Ø100.
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) | 3,142 | 320 | 706 | 300 |
| 6 bar (87 psi) | 4,712 | 481 | 1,059 | 450 |
| 8 bar (116 psi) | 6,283 | 641 | 1,413 | 601 |
| 10 bar (145 psi) | 7,854 | 801 | 1,766 | 751 |
Catalogue at 6 bar: push 471 kg, pull 441 kg.
Air Consumption (6 bar, double stroke)
Free air in litres.
| Stroke (mm) | Air (L) |
|---|---|
| 50 | 5.3 |
| 100 | 10.5 |
| 200 | 21.1 |
| 300 | 31.6 |
| 500 | 52.7 |
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 200 kg load at a 50 % load ratio (usual for moving loads), a Ø100 cylinder needs about 5.0 bar (72 psi).
Compared with Neighbouring Bores
| Bore | Rod | Push 6 bar (kg) | Pull 6 bar (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ø80 | Ø25 | 301 | 272 |
| Ø100 ◄ | Ø25 | 471 | 441 |
| Ø125 | Ø32 | 735 | 688 |
Against Ø80, the Ø100 bore has 56 % more piston area and pushes 170 kg more at 6 bar; its pull-to-push ratio is 94 %.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much force does a 100 mm pneumatic cylinder produce?
Per the catalogue, 471 kg push and 441 kg pull at 6 bar; at 10 bar the theoretical push is 801 kgf (1,766 lbf).
What rod size does a 100 mm cylinder have?
Ø25 mm (0.98 in).
How much air does a 100 mm cylinder use?
About 10.5 litres of free air per double stroke for a 100 mm stroke at 6 bar.
What load can a Ø100 cylinder move at 6 bar?
About 240 kg as a moving load at a 50 % load ratio; for static clamping up to the catalogue 471 kg.
