Non-Ferrous Pneumatic Cylinder
Non-Ferrous Pneumatic Cylinder
(OP)
Hey guys,
I need a non-ferrous pneumatic cylinder. it doesn't need to be anything fancy, just a basic one, but it can't use any ferrous material at all (no iron, steel, stainless steel, etc.) in any part of it. Any advice?

I can tell you about injuries I have seen involving sensitive body parts and a potato gun made out of PVC. So I wouldn't make it out of PVC.
Engineering is not the science behind building. It is the science behind not building.

... all of which have stainless steel rods.
Maybe you can get an 'all brass' cylinder as a special, or buy a mostly brass one, and make a brass rod for yourself.

What's the reason to avoid iron? Kinda curious.
