Re: Maximum bore/stroke length for cylinders?
You could use smaller bore cylinders if you added powerful constant force springs (free from Vulcan Spring).
For example, if you pre-loaded your lift with 40 or 50 lbs of force then you have to push the springs up when you're extending, but only have to pull 70-80 lbs when retracting.
Of course you want to design in a fudge factor for safety.
