Re: Question about pneumatic cylinder connection

Rope is fine. As a general rule, unless something is a motor, electrical component, pneumatic component, highly dangerous, or extraneously expensive, the material can be used. However, you should always check the flowchart if you aren't completely sure.

I mean that the end of the cylinder piston is connected by metal rope to the arm. Is it OK?
