Can this version of pneumatic piston sustain a certain load on its own?

[Polar24]

TL;DR

I designed a micro pneumatic piston that can stay in a position as long as no extra force is applied

Hey guys I am a freshman design student and I have been doing a project in which I am using a pneumatic piston that I designed, I don't have depth knowledge about pneumatics but I tried something. I am using simple concept for this if the cylinder is already pressurized and I am able to join both chambers, do piston is going to sustain its position?

I need help in this I am sharing my design with this

Welcome to the PF.

If $P_1$ and $P_2$ are initially different and you open the valve to equalize them, the piston should move according to the Ideal Gas Law. Are you familiar with that equation?

Why do you believe it will sustain its position? Could you lay out your thought process here?

The piston will appear to be like a spring.
As you move the piston the enclosed volume will change, because the area of the piston A1, is equal to the area of the annulus A2, plus the area of the rod.

You have rediscovered the pneumatic equivalent to half of a regenerative hydraulic circuit.
