Pancake Cylinder Help
I am in the process of working on a new transmission design in Solidworks as an off-season project. I want to basically use the gears from an AndyMark Super Shifter. However, I want to use pancake air cylinders for the shifter instead of the standard Bimba cylinders that are on their site. I am, however, running into a problem. The AndyMark shifting block that the piston threads into is 1/4-28 female threaded, and the pancake cylinders that I have been able to find are 10-32 female threaded. Has anyone found a good solution to connect the pancake cylinder to the block? I would really love to avoid turning custom screws on out lathe, so any less machine intensive solution would be awesome.
What has your team tried to remedy this problem if you used pancake cylinders? What results have you had?
