Air bag doing work

(OP)
Hello,
My problem is probably more difficult to describe than it is to fix. I have 2 metal plates at most .75 in. apart and I need something to go in between them to push them apart quickly for a short time and then allow them to spring back to there original position. I need some sort of air bag to do the pushing. The area I have between the plates is 4 in. by 4 in. and it needs to operate at 100 psig but it only needs to push them apart with about 700 pounds of force. I need it to move the plates 1 in. further apart.  What I need is find out where I can find small air bags that will take that kind of psi.

Thank You, that seems to be exactly what I am looking for.
