Is this pneumatic component allowed?
 

do you guys think something like this would be allowed? http://www.tolomatic.com/products/sub_page_detail.cfm?tree_id=108&page_id=86&sub_pag e_no=12
thanks!

Re: allowed?
 

Sorry, not this year. All pneumatic actuators must be identical to the ones offered on the Bimba Free Cylinder Order Sheet. No exceptions unfortunately.

Re: allowed?
 

hmmm, would we be allowed to machine something ourselves like that?

Re: allowed?
 

Nope, sorry... No custom pneumatic parts- only what comes in the KOP.:o

Unless you mean it to be actuated by a KOP cylinder that is...

Re: allowed?
 

Yes, as long as it is actuated by an allowed cylinder or kit motor. Generally speaking however, if you can afford the rod in the design, then you already have a linear actuator- the cylinder! If you want to beef the thing up so your cylinder doesn't get trashed, thats absolutely fine. So long as you don't modify the cylinder.

Re: allowed?
 

You're also allowed to use the old KOP Parker cylinders, per <R106>. They had Ø1.5 in bore and 8 in stroke (Parker part number 1.5DPSR8.00).

If you want that type of motion it wouldnt be hard to attatch one of these http://igus.bdol.com/drylinn.asp to one of the allowed cylinders
