Re: Pneumatic Muscles
We have a pneumatic muscle, and I have to say, I can't think of a single use for it that a cylinder wouldn't do 10x better in FRC. It has a very short and weak retract rate, and compared to a cylinder, takes a lot more effort to mount as the fittings are on either end. Additionally, the activation time is significantly longer than a piston. It is much simpler to just get a cylinder, and given the throw of the muscle, a cylinder of that size is likely lighter.
