Re: Pneumatic Cylinder damage
Although they seem to work now, Murphy has taught me they will fail you at the most inopportune time, i.e. your last match on Einstein.

Re: Pneumatic Cylinder damage
Ok, Thanks for the replies.
They are rather large cylinders, maybe 2'' bore with either 1.5' or 2' of stroke. We had no plans on using them on the robot this season, and was only using them to further experiment with a suction cup system. Last edited by somenerd : 09-02-2011 at 19:29. |

Re: Pneumatic Cylinder damage
If I may add a comment for many on this thread. It seems that you have realized your mistake, that is the best way to learn and move forward.
For the record however, I want to remind teams that putting force onto the piston (that is not parallel with the piston's motion) is a B-A-D, BAD, idea. I can almost gaurantee at one point or another all of the older teams has bent a piston shaft, mine included. Horizontal piston motions can cause damage to the pistons if you have weight down on it, or even by having a circular motion with too much mass on the end (our case in Lunacy). Bending a shaft (more so the smaller the shaft diameter gets) is easier than most people think. Good Luck this season! |
