Re: Securing Pneumatics

Aside from connecting the cylinders to what they need to move, the rest of the pneumatics system components also offer mounting challenges. The air tank, the manual pressure valve, the regulators, all seem to keep us busy figuring out how to secure them well.

Rubber cushioned loop clamps (also known as "Adel clams" or "Aircraft clamps") are helpful. Although it might be hard to find the larger ones. Smaller ones are often available at a local hardware store, larger ones from places such as McMaster-Carr.
