Punching Force Calculator

Punching force is the amount of force required to cut or punch a hole in a material, using a punch press or similar machinery. This force is necessary to overcome the material's resistance and shear it along the intended shape or line.

Punching Force (F) = P × t × S

where:

  • F = Punching Force (Newtons or kiloNewtons)
  • t = Material Thickness (mm or inches)
  • P = Material Shear Strength (N/mm²)
  • S = Perimeter of the Punch (mm or inches)
