Anyone know where can I find some decent pneumatic cylinders?

cyrix1989

Most of the hobby results I've come across are for Lego or Fischertechnik parts, but I'm not sure how good or strong Lego ones would be. Also never used a Fischertechnik one either, but I know engineers use these for prototyping, so maybe they're ok. Anyway, I can't seem to find a website where you can order just certain parts from these building systems. Sure, there's ebay, but I want to compare the manufacturers' prices with those on ebay so I know what to expect.

Also, does anyone here have any input on pneumatic cylinders? I just want some small ones that are a few inches long that would work good with a Basic stamp.

Thanks.

Here's a couple sources:

Clippard
Bimba
Humphrey

Those sites also have controls, fittings, etc.

I can't speak to quality, but AutomationDirect has some inexpensive cylinders and accessories.
