I’m looking for a air cylinder for a school project. I would need it to have about a 6-8" stroke, with a operating pressure of around 100-125 psi. Max psi around 200. Actual dimensions of the cylinder and ram can vary. If there are any other specifications I missed let me know.

Also, if anyone has one laying around, I would need a portable air tank of about 5 gal., max pressure 150 psi. I plan on just picking this up at Harbor Freight if no one has one.

Thanks

What bore size do you need?  
2" bore will move about 314lbs at 100psi.  
3" = 707lbs at 100psi.  
8" = 5026lbs at 100psi.

I just need to crush a can so 2" would be plenty. Thanks for the input.

i have one from my robotics projects. Brand new Parker. don’t remember the exact specs, but overall is about 10" long with an 8" Stroke. Single actuated with a spring i think with a clevis mount. About 2" dia.

also have a portable air tank you can have.

Spring return would be great. How much would you like for the cylinder and tank?
