Hydraulic Power Calculator

Determine the hydraulic power your system delivers and the motor power needed to drive the pump.

Hydraulic Power Calculator

Compute hydraulic (output) and shaft (input) power from pressure, flow and efficiency.

Formula: P(kW) = Pressure (MPa) × Flow (L/min) / 600

How It Works

Hydraulic power is the product of system pressure and flow rate. The shaft (input) power required by the pump accounts for the pump and motor efficiency.

This calculation is essential for sizing the drive motor of any hydraulic power unit. Use our Pressure Converter to convert units first if needed.
