Fitness Machine Air Cylinders?
Fitness Machine Air Cylinders?
(OP)
I have a [non-fitness equipment related] industrial application where I think I can exploit using one of the manually released [to lower] / spring raised air cylinders that are seen in commercial grade fitness machines. these are the ones that are independent of any air source other than the ambient air in the gym.
I haven't any idea what "type" of air cylinder they are.
Can any of you help me find a manufacturer?

How do YOU use these? Like'em?

They are also available in "adjustable" models where you can set the lifting force. I don't know how the price compares, but that's another option.
