But on another note they could be used for mechanisms where you might need shifting.
Ball indexing example: high gear for moving, low gear for unjamming.

Seems like they're a lot of possibilities
If you need shifting on a mechanism, it would be easier/cheaper to probably just get a DOG/Ball Shifter shaft and some DOG/Ball gears.

I know your wanting to stay away from pneumatics, but they rock for linear motion such as shifting.
