Re: Bungy and Surgical tubing

Just so we can be clear on the response for us non-pneumatic guys. The response is that the end caps alone cannot take the forces encountered with a cylinder moving at 80 in/sec. Users that design this speed of movement will require external stops that limit the piston from contacting the end caps in operation. Did I read that right?
