Bore

Also called: cylinder bore, bore diameter, piston diameter

The bore is the inside diameter of the cylinder tube, which is also the diameter of the piston. It sets the area that oil pressure acts on, and therefore the force the cylinder can produce at a given pressure.

Force = pressure × piston area. To find the bore for a required force, use D = √(4F / πP).
