P.S.
Piston is the thing that moves, while cylinder is the entire actuator.
Thanks for the clarification. I will go ahead and calibrate the system tomorrow so that we are working at the regulated 60 PSI.

By a hard stop, do you mean something to stop the ramp before the pistons make it all the way to the end of the cylinder?
