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.

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) | 12,566 | 1,281 | 2,825 | — |
| 6 bar (87 psi) | 18,850 | 1,922 | 4,238 | — |
| 8 bar (116 psi) | 25,133 | 2,563 | 5,650 | — |
| 10 bar (145 psi) | 31,416 | 3,204 | 7,063 | — |
Catalogue at 6 bar: push 1,884 kg, pull 1,789 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 | 21.3 |
| 100 | 42.6 |
| 200 | 85.3 |
| 300 | 127.9 |
| 500 | 213.1 |
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).
Compared with Neighbouring Bores
| Bore | Rod | Push 6 bar (kg) | Pull 6 bar (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ø160 | Ø40 | 1,206 | 1,111 |
| Ø200 ◄ | Ø40 | 1,884 | 1,789 |
| Ø250 | Ø50 | 2,944 | 2,827 |
Against Ø160, the Ø200 bore has 56 % more piston area and pushes 678 kg more at 6 bar; its pull-to-push ratio is 95 %.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much force does a 200 mm pneumatic cylinder produce?
Per the catalogue, 1,884 kg push and 1,789 kg pull at 6 bar; at 10 bar the theoretical push is 3,204 kgf (7,063 lbf).
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.
