The problem: I was planning on using pneumatic linear actuators for a deflector - to direct the material from a conveyor, correctly down the chute - and i needed the deflector to be adjustable. The deflector itself is made out of chromium carbide clad plate, it will weigh atleast 100 kilos or more. Can i directly link a pneumatic cylinder to the deflector plate, or would the external downward force create too many problems? Also - is there a self locking cylinder that will allow the cylinder to remain in place once moved to a certain position.
I will also be mounting a second pnuematic cylinder, that will be hinged in order for me to get rotation of the deflector.
Any help in this area would be appreciated, cheers :)
