Thread: Coffin Jumper mechanism

Tweet

I just finished tacking this up. Everything seems to line up nicely.

On a victorious road my friend!! Keep it up!

I finished welding it up and wired the solenoid. At about 35psi, that thing jumped like no buddies business.

Great job !

What size cylinder did you use? (bore and stroke)

Thanks!
It is a 6" stroke and a 1 1\4" bore.

Would a 3/4 bore cylinder work on a prop this size or are they just more suited for lighter weight applications?

I`m just getting started in pneumatics and trying to figure out which cylinders to buy for which props.

Thanks for your help!

I'm not s spokesperson for Fright Props and no parts on my jumper are from there. I just thought this was good info.

It seems like the cylinder on mine may be overkill, but I will rather have overkil, then a dud. I got everything off ebay. The cylinder had the mounting hardware and hose fittings.

Nice rig! It's gonna scare the candy out of the ToTs.

Coming from Terra(aka master of scare), I highly value that comment.

I like the way its coming out and wish I was talented enough to weld. I took the easy approach and bought one from fright props and the link is showing my prop in action. Cant wait to see your set up
