"Hi,
No, I have not calculated the force I need.
I have to do more research.

"Hi,
4070-020 operates mechanically, typically using a RC servo. The Aircomp valves are for industrial sized cylinders, not for miniature model cylinders. Have you calculated the force you need first in order to size the cylinder?"

"I build my own mini-ROV and I will like to have a grabber to it.
The grabber shall be operated electrically, 12V DC.
I see you have a model Cylinder (9.5mm, 25.4mm Stroke, CODE: 4070-011
I think it will do the job for me, but I need some help to chose the correct valve, tubing etc.
Are 5/2 Miniature Valve, CODE: 4070-020 the correct valve to open/close the grabber, or is this a only a mechanical valve with no coil ?
or do I have to select another one like Aircomp 130 1/4 inch 3/2 SV, CODE: 4030-310 ?
Pressure tubing, CODE: 4070-030 ok ?
Pressure Tubing Nuts, CODE: 4070-031 ok ?
