That rod lube comes in a variety of flavours now

That almost worked great AvE., maybe a large coil spring attached to the outbound rod so it'll help retract it? BTW, many moons ago when I was a wee lad, working as shop labor at Beamsterboer Slag and Ballast in or around Hammond, Indiana, the mechanics one day were working on a large hydraulic cylinder removed from a large bulldozer. They were having trouble moving the movable part so decided to use compressed air to NUDGE it out bit by bit, but unfortunately they didn't provide any limiting device to the cylinder whilst doing so, and on the first shot of compressed air, the inner rod shot out of the outer cylinder like a cannon ball, which when skittering across the shop floor along with what seemed like gallons of hydraulic fluid : )

There may also be assembly lube (grease) in the cylinders that is causing the sticktion at both extremes of travel. Disassemble them, clean with a non-chlor solvent, and reassemble with spray dry silicone as the lube.

It's not just high sticktivity. It's also low pressure compared to the hydraulic system they were designed for.

If you really want to make it complicated and fun, use a single cylinder attached to lines going through a few pulleys just like you would with curtains or drapes. My buddy did this for a set of sliding doors he wanted to open and close like they do on star trek, it worked surprisingly well though it did open and close a little hard sometimes.

I went down this road once .I used a rotary actuator from a butterfly valve to raise and lower a boom on a spray rig . Even with needle valves controlling the air flow on both sides of the actuator the speed control was temperamental . I always thought about using an air over oil system like how the old single post car hoists used to operate . /@DrewskisBrews idea of using the cooling system sounds like it would worth a try ,

This calls for an air over oil circuit with flow check valves.

Cool tool review!

Love it when I realize I’ve been “mysteriously” unsubscribed to my favorite channels

I always use linear actuators where hydraulic cylinders are recommended, pneumatic cylinders in place of linear actuators, hydraulic cylinders in place of electronic servos, electronic servos in place of gate valves (except in dams), ball valves in place of flow control valves ,

Looks like the Town Pump CNC has a chance to become the Town Guillotine.

That takes me back to my Interrail days, nights in rattly trains all over Europe… and the doors between carriages were no longer manual, they were super modern pneumatic.. but leaky a.f. or even worse, needle valve at the outflow was blocked, so no luck pushing them either 😂

Can't wait to see you discuss the FLA luffer climbing situation.

It needs to have high pressure on both sides and decrease pressure on one side to move. As an bonus you get better sound effects. On air pressure loss can have doors notmally open with spring valve

Car window motor works pretty good that's what I used on my sliding back door

You are a hoot!!! I am crying

Godamn that compressible air! Obviously, the only way to go is with super-critical CO2.

Sounds slick as a strar trek enterprise door shooshin open n closed, maybe shoulda sprung for a small electric over hydra lick pumper yoonit.

Pneumatic quick exhaust will help with the speed control / muffles too

I would probably start of with trying to lubricate the cylinders. Some PTFE oil or moly grease should probably reduce stiction a bit?

With servo's i use springs to move stuff the first and last parts. They start to push (build up tention in spring), and when they stop, the spring pushes softly to the end stop. If the servo needs to go to the end, it nevers makes it, and starts to fight. With springs the cilinder could move without tention, build up speed, remove drag, and start pushing... Try it maybe?

Some sort of over centering spring loaded linkages on the door end would probably help it close softer and be alot easier to set up to reliably seal the doors.

back in 'dah dey (early 90s).... my buddy was one of the first guys running hydraulic cylinders with nitrogen on his old wagon. would pop right up off the ground with 3000psi. i built the cups to mount the cyls in the strut pockets. biggest problem he would have is blowing out the umbrella seals they would install to 'convert' them to air.

...... what eclipse ? Your lights are on ... Your at home ... You got there ... You examined the work to be done ... ...... when is closing time ? ( no rush , no damage ..... perfect day )

nailed it.

When in doubt, increase the PSI.

That hissing would make me flip tables

Will this be on the mid-term?

Reminds me of the feed leg on a jackleg drill, but somehow even sketchier.

I was wondering if its possible to power some cylinders with a pressure washer. Ever tried that? then i thought if the water didnt work maybe a very lightweight oil could be ran through it. just an idea i had for a log turner on a sawmill.

Royal purple makes a quite good spray oil. I would apply inside only. But also canaderp may not allow import.

Subscribed for the livestream of severed torso. Tried some low viscosity oil to remove a bit of striction from the seal pack? The adjustable flow control can still be a bit variable... Chinese pneumatic cylinders are alarmingly inexpensive. Mine haven't killed me yet.

What happens if you use a mechanical stop to keep the cylinder from going to the max and min movement? Is it the seals bottoming out at the ends causing the stick? How does it react when stopped mid throw?

Buying those merch t-shirts wasn’t in vain. Thanks you’ve come back, my wife said you’d left, never to return, just like she will one day 😂

Curious if you were to do air over hydraulic with an accumulator of larger diameter increase the effective area moderating fluid flow rates. To make the flow more linear and perhaps faster since you would be displacing smaller volume of head space if the accumulator was nearly full

Love the vidjeos, why no rumble??

we have the same problem with using hydraulic cylinders to raise our od signs,,, instal a "t" on one of the ports on each cylinder and add some 3in1 oil once in awhile,,,,it reduces the sticktivity while adding sealamation

Hydraulics for precision and power. Pneumatic for bounce and breaking windows. Servos and chains would habe been my choice. Kinda like automatic curtains.

A sprocket on each corner of the machine, with a chain between them ran by an electirc motor. Tie one door to one side of the chain and the other one to the other side. Voila simple system with a single motor runing both doors. A used garage door opener would be large and cumbersome but perfect for the funcrion.

😂 you’re awesome!!!

Hydraulic does have its advantages as far as positioning goes. However, one can use pressure on both sides of the cylinder, as to dampen it. The cylinder still moves when a differential pressure is provided between the two sides. However, given the sticky nature of these two cylinders then one would need a fair bit of differential pressure to work with, and add on top some backing pressure for increasing stiffness, then it very quickly ends up being a scary amount of pressure. And as detailed before, air is a much better spring than oil. So it stores a lot more energy that is always eager to escape.

Are you planning on selling the brass hammers? I’d love to get my hands on one.

Have you considered putting springs on the extended shafts to keep them closed and on using the air to open them? Just a thought...

I've wondered if one could make a useful alpha stirling heat pump from shock absorbers, or posibly repurposed hydrolic cylinders like these.

My brother had a log loader mounted on an M-123 tank recovery truck. The dipper boom cylinder would air up if it sat around too long. It made for some pretty dangerous behavior from that boom if you didn't take a few minutes to work the air out of it.
