Re: pneumatic usage question
We are looking to use pneumatics for the first time this year. We want to use it to extend and retract an arm with a gripping device. I don't anticipate the arm weighing a lot as the rings it will lift are very light. Does anyone know if the 3/4" bore and the 12" stroke Bimba cylinders will do the trick (or do we need to go to a bigger bore?
