Re: Double Action/Spring Return Pneumatic Actuators
The primary drawback of spring return cylinders is reduced force for a given bore size, since the pressure must overcome the spring while extending, and must use this same, relatively weak spring for the return stroke. Depending on your application, this may be a non-issue.
