pneumatic rams

[DW180]

Hi everyone,

just a quick question really, i'm building a heavy weight flipper what size pneumatic ram should i be aiming at (with regards to the bore, stroke, etc) and what kind of price would i be looking at unless someone has any for cheap

cheers

Question 1) low or high pressure?

[DW180]

Hey,

unsure which way to go tbh i was thinking of something like the old firestorm robot so probably low pressure i would have thought

cheers

I would guestimate a 100*150 LP ram in Firestorm.

Brilliant thank you. Where is a good place to purchase one i looked on e bay but seems to be a bit small in dimensions

cheers

I fear a new ram of that size from a shop will be hidiously expensive.

Best bet is to monitor eBay, a new ram that size will set you back hundreds. Alternatively I do have 125mm bore 250mm stroke ram that you could shorten

By the way, a few years ago I was quoted £340+vat for a new 100 by 150 ram.
