Re: Question about partial piston stroke
The pneumatic cylinders we use (please don't call them pistons) are designed to be fully open or fully closed. It is possible to stop one mid-stroke but it's not very easy.
It would make a great off-season project but I wouldn't attempt it this far into the build season.
If you are worried about speed you can use the flow control valves.
If you want to achieve multi-stroke just put two cylinders together.
Good luck.
