Re: NEED HELP WITH uncontrollable pneumatics
Which double solenoid you using??
For the SMC the aluminum operating pressure is 20 PSI and the FESTO 30 PSI

What do you have the regulator set at???

I know at least with the FESTO that if you don't have a supply pressure of 30 PSI that it goes into a neutral state and the cylinder will not extend. What most teams do is regulate the exhaust off the solenoid. Check out the thread in squirrel post
