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
the regulator is set at60 so i guess by the time the arm goes up it loses 20 psi , so it is at 40 psi and my finger pushes it... and thanks to everyone that posted , well worth my time of finding how to post a thread which took me 1 hour to find and please post mmore suggestions
