Re: Spring loaded Pneumatic piston

the spring in these cylinders is usually very light. I was looking at a 1.5 inch bore single acting spring return cylinder and the specs said the spring had only about 6 pounds of force. I think the spring is always used to return a single acting cylinder, not to assist its push.
