Re: Recycling Air

If you want to conserve air, add a secondary regulator and use the lowest air pressure that will do the job. Remember that a 2 inch cylinder will produce over 170 pounds of force with 60psi of pressure. If you do not need this much force, use a smaller cylinder or less pressure. Just be sure to add in a safety factor.
