Pneumatic Piston Weight

We're looking at potentially using several 2" bore cylinders, some with 12" or 24" stroke, but I have many concerns regarding the unnegotiable weight these components add to the robot. I don't know, however, the actual weight of such components and I only have a nebulous idea from years past that they're really heavy.

I know that there was available somewhere information about the weight of pistons in the format (XX lbs. + YY lbs./in. stroke), but I can't find it anywhere. Can someone kindly point me to that information? Thanks.
