Arrgh. I hate metric to imperial...

564mm = 22.2047 in Extended
250mm = 9.84252 in Stroke
8mm = 0.31496 in Shaft
18mm = 0.70866 in Cylinder

Arrgh. Newtons versus pounds. At least that is simple, 30Kg about 66 lbs...

Grainger's sells combat helmets...

that I have the 2:1 gear on the Z axis (crank it a few times and you'd
agree).

8mm shaft, 18mm dia cylinder, 250mm stroke, 564mm extended length.
