Type of Pistons Allowed

Does anyone know if we are allowed to use another type on pneumatic other than the bimba cylinders and the bimba actuators ?

Yes, start on page 27 of the robot manual.

What usually is the case is the parts that come in the KOP are whats allowed, check the manual and I would think as long as they meet the same specs and requirements you would be able to use other manufactured parts

Re: Type of Pistons Allowed

Ok thanks and they can be called either, the outside part is a cylinder and the inside part is a piston.

No they are not call pistons by anyone in industry that I know. A cylinder may have a piston as a part but so do car motors and you don't call them pistons.
