Re: Pneumatic speed

Are you using two solenoid valves, one on each cylinder? Do so if not. In the past we have even used two solenoid valves on each cylinder (some inspectors crinkled their nose at this.) The flowrate through the valve is your primary bottleneck. Increase the amount of tension on your elastics until the return force of the cylinders can barely hold it back, this will maximize their contribution to your speed and force.
