Re: Solenoid Recommendations
In 2014, we used a single acting solenoid with P/N 6124K511 from McMaster-Carr, and we were very satisfied with them. However, I would recommend having two of them and directly hooking the output to the input on the cylinder to get the least amount of distance the air has to travel to fill the cylinder. Also, have the return port of the cylinder simply be open, because gravity will just pull it down and force the air out of the bottom once the solenoid switches back to vent.
