A pneumatic cylinder's force is air pressure times the piston area.

The math behind it

F = P·A, A = π·(bore/2)². Pull force is slightly less because of the rod area.

Worked Example

6 bar on a 32 mm bore → about 483 N.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to get more force?

Use a larger bore or higher air pressure.
