I need an actuator, but one that is air powered preferably. Instead of

Solenoid?

A plunger is on the end of a solenoid. The solenoid is the "motor"
that activates the "plunger".
Essentially, I want to press an electric button, or an air valve, and have a
rod shoot out the end just once, bounce into something, then retrieve back
into a housing.
