I bought the compressor, a 6 gallon oil less 150 psi unit, I added in a; oil, filter, water separator unit to the output. The compressor is not as noisy as I thought it would be, but I may modify it with an over sized compressor muffler to try to dampen it some more. Also as an air source for a series of sex toy/bdsm gear, i'll also run a 100' rubber air hose from the compressor/tank in the garage to the area in the house. The compressor automatically fills the tank, and then shuts off when the tank is full. Clean dry air is essential for pneumatics to work properly, water droplets will cause a erratic behavior.
The system will be controlled rather low-tech. I'll be using three relays to form a latching circuit with a set, and reset inputs. The DPDT relay is the latching part, two SPDT relays are the SET and RESET function which are triggered by "HALL EFFECT" sensors attached to the pneumatic cylinder and actuated by a magnet on the end of the cylinder rod.
