GENIUS! This could solve issues I've had with cutting long aluminum extrusion, thank you! I now want to build an array of these to use instead of stupid c-clamps, just because its so cool!

@nopriors non electric yes. It's basically a toggle switch type pneumatic valve. You could even use a ball valve. This is a very old Martonair valve. Thanks for stopping by.

This is amazing. I want to use a array of air cylinders to hold down my sheet metal to my table on my cnc machine. I would have to mount them horizontal though to fit under my gantry and some kind of cam to pinch the metal to the table. Very nice though!

Great idea! I was looking for a pneumatic clamping system for my chop saw.

I'm running a 26 gal compressor. Nothing fancy. On the air pressure, I just go by feel. If I have a large board that hangs way out, I up the pressure to keep the board flat. You could add a drop of air tool oil to the cylinder every so often. When these types of cylinders are used in automation there is usually some type of oiler inline with them. Thanks for watching.

Hi great video. Can you post the manufacturer and the Part number? Most appreciated not sure if that is a Bimba brand well anything would help in my research. I also want to do this with a kreg jig and some other items. Thanks....

@johnnytheprick Thanks for stopping by.

It's a very old cylinder and has no markings. Just look for one with a decent bore. This one is spring return but you could also use a double acting as well.

@Evan, Meee too. Nice vids man.

Thank you for the kick in the right direction.

thanks for the post solved a few problems for me

Very cool! I happen to have a couple of cylinders similar to this one lying around. I assume my air compressur can run them... but how can I tell how much preasure to use? also, do these need any kind od lubrication like other air tools? thanks a lot.

Slick!
