Re: pneumatic cylinder help.

I think what you mean by the two way one is one that will stay open or stay closed.....for this configuration you'll need a double solenoid (provided in the KoP) hooked up to your cylinder instead of a single solenoid. Moving on from that, bimba ofers 3 free cylinders every year to teams....it might be to late to order but give it a shot, the link to that page was posted farther above.

When ordering your cylinder keep in mind that stroke is how far it reaches, so if u want 8 inches of displacement get an 8 inch stroke. Bore is the thickness of the piston, the thicker the more force behind the cylinder.

Good luck!
