HELPPPPPPPPP!

Team 388 is using 2 - 3/4 in bore 8 in stroke actuators and one 24 in actuator as well. when using the 24 inch actuator, the pressure that is used to supply the side that make the actuator go up is completely fine. but is there any way to harness the pressure relieved from this actuator to put back in the pneumatics system?

thanks alot
scott

Well, yes, but it might not help. See this thread.

Re: HELPPPPPPPPP!

One way to halve your air consumption is to not plug the top end of the cylinder, and then use either gravity or a spring to give you the return action.
