Default RE: Pneumatic retract question

Mike, what is your prefered brand? Ihave a ASMP-61 that is waiting to be built, and a while back, I finally bought the stock retracts for it. They ended up going back and HPsaid the replacements had the same problem. This was a mechanical issue that left them setting like a chair with one short leg. Inever got to the actual operations of them

There is, or was one option for a motor driven system that operated just like a retract servo in that each retract plugged into a Y or splitter and everything was contained to the retreact and a servo lead. I"ve misplaced that companies name though. Also is there any build articles you know of for making such a retract..

Well, if the valves or cylinders are leaking, not much you can do (at least that I am aware of). I have found that most leaks are in the connections.

I wonder if a little lite oil in the cylinders would help (but I'm only guessing)

This is why I hate pneumatic retracts! [:@]
