Default Air or electric cylinder?

You can push a threaded rod with a spring attached, using a DC motor
and two micro switches to limit travel.


A 2" stroke 3" cylinder produces that much (slightly more) force at 100psi.
That seems the more reliable solution.

We like air more and more, screw the all electric goal. A small
compressor just doesn't matter.

However, I sure will avoid hydraulics!
