200 mm Pneumatic Cylinder: Force Chart and Air Consumption

A 200 mm bore pneumatic cylinder (≈ 7.87 in) has a Ø40 mm rod and, per the Fenitsa catalogue, pushes 1,884 kg and pulls 1,789 kg at 6 bar (87 psi). Its piston area is 314.2 cm².

Typical uses: heavy-duty gates, silo and bunker dampers, pressing and forming. Standard strokes 50–500 mm; any stroke on request up to 2,800 mm for Ø200.

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 800 kg load at a 50 % load ratio (usual for moving loads), a Ø200 cylinder needs about 5.0 bar (72 psi).

What rod size does a 200 mm cylinder have?

Ø40 mm (1.57 in).

How much air does a 200 mm cylinder use?

About 42.6 litres of free air per double stroke for a 100 mm stroke at 6 bar.

What load can a Ø200 cylinder move at 6 bar?

About 960 kg as a moving load at a 50 % load ratio; for static clamping up to the catalogue 1,884 kg.
