Calculate Force Acting on a Hydraulic Piston



Formula

To calculate the Force (\(F\)):

\[ F = A \cdot HP \]

Where:

What is Hydraulic Pressure?

Hydraulic pressure is defined as the force acting on a hydraulic piston due to pressure and a certain cross-sectional area of the piston. This principle is derived from Pascal's principle, which states that if pressure is applied to a container of liquid, that pressure is transmitted everywhere in that container.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ F = 0.01 \cdot 500000 = 5000 \text{ N} \]

The force acting on the hydraulic piston is 5000 N.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ F = 0.02 \cdot 300000 = 6000 \text{ N} \]

The force acting on the hydraulic piston is 6000 N.
