Use the Pneumatic Cylinder Volume Calculator to calculate cap-end and rod-end swept volumes. The calculator uses Bore diameter, Rod diameter, Stroke and Chamber and reports extend volume; retract volume; total swept volume.
Read the result in the context of the selected units and pressure basis. For this tool, the primary outputs are extend volume; retract volume; total swept volume. Change one input at a time when comparing scenarios so the effect of each variable remains clear.
PneumaForge applies this verified method: V=A×stroke. The functional engine is shared with related tools in the cylinder-geometry family, while this page solves the specific intent represented by pneumatic cylinder volume calculator.
V=A×strokeReproducible example: start with the calculator's default values (Bore diameter = 100; Rod diameter = 40; Stroke = 500; Chamber = both) and calculate the result. Then change the variable most relevant to your application and compare the new extend volume; retract volume; total swept volume against the baseline.

It is designed to calculate cap-end and rod-end swept volumes. The reported outputs are extend volume; retract volume; total swept volume.
The calculator uses Bore diameter, Rod diameter, Stroke and Chamber. Only use values that represent the same operating condition or design case.
The calculation follows: V=A×stroke. The page also states the assumptions that define where the method is valid.

Yes. PneumaForge converts supported units through canonical engineering units. For compressed-air reference flows and pressure bases, the reference pressure and temperature must also remain consistent.
