I have only found pneumatic cylinders for pressures up to 450 PSI. Why do they not make them for higher pressures?
Why are there no pneumatic cylinders for CO2 PSI?

SUMMARY
Pneumatic cylinders are typically designed for pressures up to 450 PSI due to safety concerns and the challenges associated with higher pressure applications. The discussion highlights the risks of using compressed inert gases, as air can cause lubricants on seals to become fire or explosion hazards. Additionally, the difficulty in controlling the end-of-stroke positions at higher pressures is a significant factor in the absence of pneumatic cylinders rated for higher PSI levels.
