Rosco,
The expanding and contracting behavior is described by Pascal's law that says
that the force exerted by a piston is the pressure (pounds per square inch)
times the surface area (square inches). The area in this case is the area of the
face of the piston head. The area of the face of the expand side of the piston
head is larger than the contract face of the piston head because the shaft that
attaches to that face.
Less area, less force,,,,,

| (...) Ummmm yep, thats what I meant - the contract side is smaller so less force, but wouldn't that also mean it contracts faster because it needs less air? Just like the small cylinders expand/contract much faster than the big ones because of the (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
