Struggling with stored energy

If I have a cylinder(we never have used pneumatics on our team) and it pulls back 10 inches storing over 100 lbs of force, how fast can we release the arm to not slow down the 100lbs with resistance.

IE if it pulls back surgical tubing 10 inches and then extends, how fast can I get it going?

Im concerned that I have been unable to locate rules on speed of air released through solenoids.
