Re: 2 Pneumatic cylinders on one solenoid.

To run two cylinders from one solenoid all you need to do is take the lines that go from the solenoid to the cylinder and put a Y coupler (Link Posted) on each one. This now gives you two lines from each port on the solenoid that you can use to make the two cylinders you are using act the same or opposite of each other. I hope this helps. http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2184.htm
