I don't have the nice little booklet that came with the pneumatics right now, but I remember it STRONGLY suggesting that you only use the full stroke of each cylinder. It said that the cylinders were only designed to hold the load when the were fully extended or retracted.

There may be a way to only extend a piston only a certain distance, but I wouldn't try it in light of what that booklet said.
