Calculation Formula

Axial Thrust (F) = P × A × cos(θ)

Where:
F = Axial Thrust [N]
P = Pressure [Pa]
A = Area [m²]
θ = Thrust Angle [degrees]

Result

Axial Thrust (F): 0.00 N

Axial Thrust on Driver Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Axial Thrust on Driver Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the pressure (P) in Pascals (Pa). This is the force per unit area applied to the driver mechanism.
  2. Enter the area (A) in square meters (m²). This is the contact area between the driver and the surface applying the pressure.
  3. Enter the thrust angle (θ) in degrees. This is the angle between the direction of the applied force and the axis of the driver.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the axial thrust.
  5. The result will be displayed in Newtons (N).

Understanding Axial Thrust

Axial thrust is the component of force acting along the axis of the driver. It's important in applications such as hydraulic cylinders, screwdrivers, and other mechanical systems where linear motion is converted from rotational or other forms of motion.

Example Calculation

For example, if a hydraulic cylinder has a pressure of 5,000,000 Pa (5 MPa) acting on an area of 0.01 m² at an angle of 30 degrees to the axis, the axial thrust would be:

F = 5,000,000 Pa × 0.01 m² × cos(30°) = 433,013 N
