العربية160 mm Pneumatic Cylinder: Force Chart and Air Consumption
A 160 mm bore pneumatic cylinder (≈ 6.30 in) has a Ø40 mm rod and, per the Fenitsa catalogue, pushes 1,206 kg and pulls 1,111 kg at 6 bar (87 psi). Its piston area is 201.1 cm².
Typical uses: heavy pneumatic presses, mould handling, large dampers. Standard strokes 50–500 mm; any stroke on request up to 2,800 mm for Ø160.
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) | 8,042 | 820 | 1,808 | — |
| 6 bar (87 psi) | 12,064 | 1,230 | 2,712 | — |
| 8 bar (116 psi) | 16,085 | 1,640 | 3,616 | — |
| 10 bar (145 psi) | 20,106 | 2,050 | 4,520 | — |
Catalogue at 6 bar: push 1,206 kg, pull 1,111 kg. Pull for Ø160/Ø200 is given from the catalogue only.
Air Consumption (6 bar, double stroke)
Free air in litres.
| Stroke (mm) | Air (L) |
|---|---|
| 50 | 13.5 |
| 100 | 27.0 |
| 200 | 53.9 |
| 300 | 80.9 |
| 500 | 134.8 |
Series and Mountings in This Bore
FMY (ISO 15552, magnetic piston, adjustable cushioning), PNS-PNSY (CETOP RP 53P) and PMB; 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 500 kg load at a 50 % load ratio (usual for moving loads), a Ø160 cylinder needs about 4.9 bar (71 psi).
Compared with Neighbouring Bores
| Bore | Rod | Push 6 bar (kg) | Pull 6 bar (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ø125 | Ø32 | 735 | 688 |
| Ø160 ◄ | Ø40 | 1,206 | 1,111 |
| Ø200 | Ø40 | 1,884 | 1,789 |
Against Ø125, the Ø160 bore has 64 % more piston area and pushes 471 kg more at 6 bar; its pull-to-push ratio is 92 %.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much force does a 160 mm pneumatic cylinder produce?
Per the catalogue, 1,206 kg push and 1,111 kg pull at 6 bar; at 10 bar the theoretical push is 2,050 kgf (4,520 lbf).
What rod size does a 160 mm cylinder have?
Ø40 mm (1.57 in).
How much air does a 160 mm cylinder use?
About 27.0 litres of free air per double stroke for a 100 mm stroke at 6 bar.
What load can a Ø160 cylinder move at 6 bar?
About 615 kg as a moving load at a 50 % load ratio; for static clamping up to the catalogue 1,206 kg.
