That will want to bend both the plate and the pneumatic shaft and generally push everything out of alignment. It's very important that that connection and whole assembly be very stiff. Once again though, if there are two pneumatics then that moment is balanced and it's less of a problem.
The pneumatic layout on the GRT gearbox this year was designed for just one pneumatic and designed to deal with this moment. There are two on there because we were having a bit of trouble shifting in a few extreme conditions so added the second for safety, there is improvement to be made to get back to one.

Just curious, what'd you guys do to get it to work smoothly (for the most part) win one pneumatic?
As long as this is a competition teams will push the limits. Those that succeed are those who can push the envelope and still stay within the lines. - Steve W [more]
