Thread: Fast acting pneumatic cylinders....

Hey everyone, how does one setup a dual acting cylinder to move quickly in each direction such as in an electric chair motion? Are there specific controllers needed??? Thank you in advance!

You'll need a way to turn the solenoid valve on and off relatively quickly. You don't necessarily need a controller as I'm sure it could be done with a relay and timer of some sort. But for an out-of-th-box solutuion, the new Monster Guts Nerve Center Controller would be a great option as it can handle your audio, as well as an additional channel (such as a warning light beacon), and you can "program" the on/off sequence with a simple key banger approach. I don't have one myself, but at $99, it's a pretty good controller which I think would work great for your application.
