Re: Pneumatic Cylinder Requirements

I do not remember seeing a maximum diameter either, so I would assume that there is NOT a maximum diameter.

But a 2.5" diameter cylinder will take a long time to move from one end to the other, especially at the pressures we use in FRC. Just so you know. It may be better to use 2-3 smaller diameter cylinders if you need speed.
