A Great Inexpensive Pneumatic Cylinder
I have used this cylinder with great success, from 12" to 48" long. The 1" I.D.
PVC seems to be perfect for pushing open doors to making light weight bodies
jump out of coffins. The 1/2" I.D. is rigid enough for longer extensions. It
operates very well on 10 to 30 psi.
1" SCH 40 PVC
1" CAPS
1/2" SCH 40 PVC
1 1/2 x 1 1/2 L BRACKET
1/4" PIPE THREAD TAP
1/4" X 3/8 COMP. FITTING
7/8"- 1" RUBBER STOPPER
5/8" DOWEL ROD
6 x 9/16" WASHER
1" LONG SHEET METAL SCREW
Use All White PVC
Available at LOWES
How to:
#1.Cut the top of the stopper off
so the top is flat. Cut a 1 1/2"
long piece off of the 5/8" dowel
and drill a hole in the center
using the proper size hole for
your sheet metal screw. Make
sure your cut is straight, sand if
necessary.

#2Coat the outside of the dowel
with PVC cement or epoxy, and
push it in to the end of the
1/2" PVC hole side out. Make
sure it is flush.
#3
Push the screw and washer
through the rubber stopper and
screw it into the dowel on the end
of the 1/2" PVC. It should look
like the picture above.
