Force Exerted onto Piston or by Piston Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Force Exerted (Piston) = Pressure Exerted by Piston*Area of Piston
F = p*A_p
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Force Exerted (Piston) - (Measured in Newton) - Force Exerted (Piston) refers to the pressure or thrust applied by the piston onto the surrounding or conversely, the force that the fluid or object exerts on the piston in response to its motion.
Pressure Exerted by Piston - (Measured in Pascal) - Pressure Exerted by Piston refers to the force applied by the piston on the surrounding fluid or surface divided by the area over which the force is distributed.
Area of Piston - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of piston is the value of area of the piston in a piston pump.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Pressure Exerted by Piston: 800 Pascal --> 800 Pascal No Conversion Required
Area of Piston: 0.05 Square Meter --> 0.05 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F = p*A_p --> 800*0.05

Evaluating ... ...

F = 40

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

40 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

40 Newton <-- Force Exerted (Piston)

Force during Retraction

Go Force Exerted (Piston) = Pressure Exerted by Piston*(Area of Piston-Area of Piston Rod)

Area of Piston given Force and Pressure

Go Area of Piston = Force Exerted (Piston)/Pressure Exerted by Piston

Force Exerted onto Piston or by Piston

Go Force Exerted (Piston) = Pressure Exerted by Piston*Area of Piston

Pressure Exerted by Piston

Go Pressure Exerted by Piston = Force Exerted (Piston)/Area of Piston

Force Exerted onto Piston or by Piston Formula

Force Exerted (Piston) = Pressure Exerted by Piston*Area of Piston
F = p*A_p

What is a linear actuator?

A linear actuator is an actuator that creates motion in a straight line, in contrast to the circular motion of a conventional electric motor
