We used three 24" pneumatic cylinders two in one motion to lift the arm and one to extend. Lifting those two 24" cylinders took 60 psi. And the single 24" took a little less than 30psi and took the tanks about 8 secs to refill. however our 6" cylinder on our claw took like 5 psi.


I don't think you would want to use 24" cylinders but with 4 smaller ones you could run off of one compressor and 2 air tanks but i would add a 3rd tank and you should be fine.
