Cylinder Speed Calculator
Work out hydraulic cylinder extend and retract speed in mm/s and m/min from bore diameter, rod diameter and pump flow rate.
Hydraulic Cylinder Speed
Calculate how fast a cylinder will extend and retract based on pump flow rate and cylinder dimensions.
Extend Speed
84.88 mm/s
≈ 5.09 m/min
Retract Speed
106.44 mm/s
≈ 6.39 m/min
Retract is faster because the rod reduces the effective annulus area.
