Re: pic: Failed pneumatic cylinder

We have a stroke limiter of significantly larger diameter than that of the bushing.

It's not shock loaded too hard, there's a rubber block on each end to prevent it from damaging things like this. We don't want to slow it down, because we want it to be fast.

Re: pic: Failed pneumatic cylinder

Ours failed under shock load with stroke limiters that were not oversize to avoid only hitting the bushing. We now have much thicker wall on our new stroke limiters. When it happened to our team it was the first time I had seen failure like this.
