Ben, the pneumatic cylinders are faster than just about any motor for opening claws and latches and the like, but you have to keep their range of motion under control. The pressure should be regulated to ~120psi, as per the pneumatic pump rules. If you need help, I'm a stone's throw away in Hackettstown, NJ. You can call me at (908) 850-3477 any day between 7pm and 10pm. Ask for Dan from Warren Tech; there's two Dan's here, so that will prevent confusion with you talking to my dad, which would not be helpful to you...
