The cylinders are not spring loaded, they are just the ones from the bimba PDV. Which does mean we have to have about 30-35 PSI left in the tanks for them to be able to lift after the buzzer. We are only using our air for lifting/lowering the intake plus the hanger so in our practice we usually have plenty of air.

Thanks!
