Spring-loaded pistons are NOT legal. Review the fourth paragraph of <R54> and the parts-use flowchart (including the expanded flowchart in Rules Update #10) VERY carefully.

Is a spring-loaded piston an air cylinder ordered from the Custom Cylinder Order Form? No.

Is it a purchased cylinder or actuator IDENTICAL to those available on the Custom Cylinder Order Form? No.

Spring loaded pistons are not available on the order form in the pneumatics manual. Therefore, you cannot purchase pistons that are spring loaded.
