Re: Cylinder Force Calculation

you are not allowed to disassemble the cylinders or modify them in any way - but you can build them into a mechanism that alters its behavior (adding an external spring-return, or an external trigger release.

No matter what the bore and stroke of the cylinder is, the air flow is controlled (restricted) by the valves and fittings and hoses. There is nothing you can do to the cylinder to make air flow through the valves faster.

And you cannot use other valves, or modify the ones in the KOP.
