Re: Single acting cylinder with spring return
Gilmar,
The pneumatic rules have been relaxed this year to allow you to use devices as you describe. Any actuator may be used as long as it satisfies the 0.32 Cv, pressure ratings and is implemented safely. However, this might come into play.
<R69> Compressed air for the pneumatic system on the ROBOT must be provided by one and only one compressor...Compressed air shall not come from any other source.
