Calculate Pneumatic Cylinder Velocity (PCV)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Pneumatic Cylinder Velocity (PCV) is:

\[ \text{PCV} = 28.8 \cdot \frac{Q}{A} \]

Where:

What is Pneumatic Cylinder Velocity?

A pneumatic cylinder velocity is the speed at which a pneumatic cylinder will move while under pressure. It is determined by the volumetric flow rate of the air and the area of the piston.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Pneumatic Cylinder Velocity:

\[ \text{PCV} = 28.8 \cdot \frac{10}{2} = 28.8 \cdot 5 = 144 \text{ in/s} \]

The Pneumatic Cylinder Velocity is 144 in/s.
