Piston throw control

I was just wondering if any team had tried to control the amount of throw in a piston, like stoppint it 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4 of the way through it's stroke. I believe it is possible, just like in a hydrolic system on a piece of heavy machinery, but I am having some troubles actually making it happen. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
