There are a tone of useful cylinders, SMC makes the small pneumatic pancake cylinders that are common on VEXpro gearboxes. Automation Direct sales a very useful line of cylinders. We import some of our from China as well, since they are much cheaper. Lots of options for cylinders just keep your spec sheets handy to prove they are legal. Rodless cylinders, 3 position cylinders, and a whole host of other options are available in a variety of form factors and configurations.
