Re: Pneumatic speed

Put your valves as close to your cylinders as you can so you keep your tubing runs short (you have to vent/pressurize the tubing as well as the cylinder, remember).

Try putting a clippard tank right next to the valves on the low pressure side of the system. That means you've got lots of 60psi air right next to your valves, and close to your cylinders. You can even use the brass fittings to connect your vavles directly to the cylinder.
