converting from fergilli rams to air . but no power

The money u have wasted on the actuators and air system could have paid for hydraulics by now. I have been down this path before on a track loader project.

You dont know if you dont try, you could use them for small stuff, try filling them with water and piping 2 together so you push 1 rod down and it pushes the other up, then attach 1 to something you want to move then attach the other to a servo or actuator, only works well if you get no air in at all.

ya i was playing around with them. and kind of found that out. looks good for my next build. i hope they hold up hat way. i may switch to oil like 3in1 or brake fluid
