Is a longer hydraulic cylinder stronger than a shorter cylinder with the same diameter, same side rod, and same psi? I have seen several hydraulic output calculators and most only take the diameter of the cylinder and the rod diameter into account.
Does a 12" long 3" cylinder with a 1" rod at 2500psi push exactly the same power as a 36" 3" cylinder with a 1" rod at 2500psi?

Yes, its the same force.
 
/ Hydraulic Cylinder Question #3  
Yes, same force. Input pressure and diameter are what determines force. The rod size only affects the retract force for most cylinders and has no effect on the extend force.
