Im not sure if this is the correct forum for this question if not let me know and Ill post it to the right one. Anyway I need to creat a small scale pneumatic oscillating cylinder, I have a couple ideas but could use the help of someone witha background or knowledge in pneumatics.
I need the cylinder to have a adjustable throw length and hopefully have a adjustable throw strength.
I have seen similar systems where a fan driven device is used with a cam connected to the center drive, the cam giving it a oscillating output, and the amont of air controlling the speed. but I am trying to use a cylinder system.
I know there is a difference in air pressure and speed but I am not sure how
what does what, Is it better to control air pressure on this type of setup or to control air speed.
I really need this system to be as simple as possible due to fabrication costs.
If you want to email me directly jreeves16@msn.com I can send you some images of what I've bben working on so far and tell me if it will work.
