5188 coupled a large bore cylinder off center to a ball shifter for our winch gearbox last year. What we found was that pulling so far off center created a moment and would cause the winch to occasionally jam and not disengage. This is a much different load scenario, so take it with a grain of salt. Our theory is that the only reason the system worked was due to the 2" bore piston used, simply brute forcing the mechanism to shift despite pulling so far off center.
