I am not sure why you say this will not work. but all I seen on our robot was I could stop and start cylinder any where in the 30" stroke. only used standard regulater on none shaft side of cylinder.
Are you sure it's a center pressure valve? Also, when you were moving the cylinder, did you need to adjust the regulator to change the position of the rod, when it was not at either extreme?
