⚙️ NFPA Tie-Rod / Mill-Duty Cylinders, Extension Thrust Lbs & Retraction Speed

Hydraulic Cylinder Push/Pull Tonnage Calculator

Size heavy-duty NFPA tie-rod and mill-duty hydraulic cylinders: calculate extension push force (Thrust Lbs = Bore Area sq in x PSI), retraction pull force (accounting for rod diameter area subtraction), cycle extension speed (inches/sec = [GPM x 231] / [Bore Area x 60]), and custom cylinder manufacturing margins.
