Hey, my current robot is going to be using pistons on our four bar, with 2 tanks and 2 single acting pistons.; DO you guys think that would be enough? or should I downgrade to 1 piston?
a piston pneumatic cylinder can generate around 10-12 lbs of force depending on how much air pressure you use. The higher the pressure on your regulator, the fewer actuations you’ll get from your cylinder(s). You’ll have to do the math, or test it out, to see if it works in your design. Much of the success/failure will depend on how well your mechanism is counterbalanced.
can I see the set up of the pneumatics? I can help you. Are you using them to lift the 4 bar or a claw on the 4 bar?
