Clevis?
You maybe need to take a look at basic fluid power, which is basically the same as pneumatics when it comes to understanding cylinder operation.
e.g. The force exerted by a cylinder would be the area of the cylinder x the pressure, e.g. a cylinder of 4" dia has a piston surface area of 12.57sq", if operated with a pressure of 80bls, 12.57x80 = 1000lb pressure.
