Re: pneumatic usage question
Find the volume of your storage (small storage tanks from the past were 18.85)
Multiply by the amount of air pressure. 18.85 x 120 psi = 2262 working units. Find the volume of your cylinder (2"dia with 4" stroke = 12.56)
Multiply by working pressure of 60psi = 753 units
So one extension and retraction would use 1506 of you 2262 working units.
You can see from this simple example figuring pneumatics isn't too difficult.
Make yourself a spread sheet and go to work. You should also figure out how fast your compressor of choice can replace your working units.
