P = (σ_c*A_r)/(1+a*(l/k_G)^2)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Force on Push Rod - (Measured in Newton) - Force on Push Rod is defined as the force (a push or pull on the pushrod resulting from its interaction with another part) that is acting onto the pushrod.
Stress in Push Rod - (Measured in Pascal) - Stress in Push Rod is defined as the force per unit area within the push rod material that arises due to the externally applied forces onto it.
Cross Sectional Area of Push Rod - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross Sectional Area of Push Rod is the area of the section of the pushrod when it is along perpendicular to its length.
Constant used in Buckling Load Formula - Constant used in buckling load formula is a constant used in the calculation of critical buckling load in a member.
Length of Push Rod - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Push Rod is the size of the push rod from one end to another end (how long the rod is).
Radius of Gyration of Push Rod - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Gyration of Push Rod is defined as the radial distance to a point that would have a moment of inertia the same as the rod's actual distribution of mass.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Stress in Push Rod: 12.5 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 12500000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Cross Sectional Area of Push Rod: 40 Square Millimeter --> 4E-05 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Constant used in Buckling Load Formula: 0.000133 --> No Conversion Required
Length of Push Rod: 86.7 Millimeter --> 0.0867 Meter (Check conversion here)
Radius of Gyration of Push Rod: 3 Millimeter --> 0.003 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P = (σ_c*A_r)/(1+a*(l/k_G)^2) --> (12500000*4E-05)/(1+0.000133*(0.0867/0.003)^2)

Evaluating ... ...

P = 450.011413639484

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

450.011413639484 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

450.011413639484 ≈ 450.0114 Newton <-- Force on Push Rod

Symptoms of Pushrod failure

If the intake valve's pushrod is bent, the valve will come into contact with the piston. If a valve has been opened up because of a loose lock nut or if it has been adjusted with an incorrect clearance. It can make the valve bend.

How to Calculate Force Acting on Engine Push Rod?

Force Acting on Engine Push Rod calculator uses Force on Push Rod = (Stress in Push Rod*Cross Sectional Area of Push Rod)/(1+Constant used in Buckling Load Formula*(Length of Push Rod/Radius of Gyration of Push Rod)^2) to calculate the Force on Push Rod, Force acting on engine push rod is the amount of force acting onto the end of a pushrod which is fitted with a lifter, upon which the camshaft makes contact. The camshaft lobe moves the lifter upwards, which moves the pushrod. Force on Push Rod is denoted by P symbol.
