I am looking for a source of small, telescopic hydraulic cylinders. I'm looking for a cylinder with a retracted length of approximately 20mm and an extended length of approximately 90mm. The diameter of the main cylinder is roughly 15mm. I do not yet know the required working pressure of the cylinder (see this post), but I know that I need to generate at least 10N.
My internet searches so far have only brought up suppliers/manufacturers of larger cylinders.
Any ideas?

RE: Source for very small telescopic hydraulic cylinders?
@Mike: Thanks for the suggestion - I am working on several concept ideas and one of them is using a similar principle to what you have suggested. However, I am currently assessing the feasibility of the hydraulic method.
@Ted: Useful link: I will contact the company. Thanks

Early Supplier Involvement has long been a strategy employed by manufacturers to produce innovative products. Now, it almost seems like a necessity. Because decisions made in the design phase can positively affect product quality and costs, this can help add value to OEM bottom lines.

This white paper describes what we see as the best practices to support a sustainable engineering process for autonomous vehicle design. It exposes how to use simulation and testing in common frameworks to enable design exploration, verification and validation for the development of autonomous cars at a system, software and full-vehicle level to drive a mature product development process for automated driving.
