Re: What brand of pneumatics do you use?

Bimba cylinders, Festo solenoids, Clippard tanks, McMaster tubing. Kinda just the standard stuff that comes in the kit, with the occasional order from McMaster or Bimba for custom stuff.
Fun fact, a few years back, one of our mentors ordered like a 3" bore 36" stroke cylinder to test the limits of what Bimba can make.

I have, sitting at my desk right now, a 30" stroke, 3" bore reverse acting cylinder. It's spring extend, and air pressure to retract, and could be used as a jousting lance.
