(...)

(...) I beleive so. The most important part of the stroke for highest pressure is most compressive part (making sure the pump compresses completely). The compressed air in the pump doesn't want to do that so it pushes back on the thing trying to (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Okay... quick question, going back to square one. How many switches could I actually realistically gang onto one pneumatic piston so that the piston's position will simultaneously flip all of them?

By combining a differential with the motor(s) and pump(s) of a compressor, you can make a motorized switch. (URL) above behemoth compressor, I have (...)
