Pneumatic cylinders directly acting on a plate with a short throw will be fine, no reason to over complicate it with a linkage.
Our brake last year was 3x 1" pancake cylinders all attached to a 20x14 plate covered in rough top. Worked great without ever bending the rod on a cylinder.
I will say that you should consider pancake cylinders instead of regular ones from a packaging standpoint they are much nicer for this kind of application.
