Re: Pneumatics cv.32

Be warned: I would expect the GDC to realize that they have made a typographical error in the rules and will require 1/8" NPT fittings on the cylinder and prohibit larger than .160 ID tubing...

Until then (assuming you have 1/4" NPT fittings on your cylinder), ganging 4 solenoids in parallel should give you 4 times the air flow. After that, additional solenoids give you diminishing returns.

Regards,

Mike
