Pneumatics........

Quick question, can we ONLY order actuators from Bimba? We just changed a design that will likely need a pneumatic actuator. However, getting one from Bimba this close to the end is not an option, but we can do a will call for McMaster.

So, can we use pneumatic cylinders from McMaster-Carr as long as it is 1-1/16" Bore and an 8 inch stroke (double acting)? If not, does anyone have an suggestion of how to tip a hopper without using an actuator?

Thanks! This is our first year, and we just started last week due to several delays.
