Cheap 12" Air Cylinder Needed

2416 Views 12 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  jrzmac
I have been able to use converted door closers on all of my props so far but they only have about a 7" stroke. I need to find one with a 11"-12" stroke for my new build. Does anyone have a source for cheap pneumatic cylinders? I don't need stainless or anything fancy. It's a light-duty application. Under $30 would be ideal.

Thx!

Watch out as well, it requires 250 psi to operate. Thats a very large air compressor to generate that kind of pressure. Before buying, I would certainly find out if thats maximum pressure before it structurally fails, or if, in fact, that it needs that much to make it work.

Also, that is a double action cylinder...It is going to require you to manually reset the prop after firing, or using a large spring (which mean leaving the retract port open) or using an ac or dc 4 way solenoid to control motion in both directions-open and close. Ain't it lots of fun to play with air? LOL!!
