The thing isn't going anywhere until air is sucked into it or a mechanical force is applied to it. There is a statement in the description telling you what the maximum force is in pounds per square inch

For continuous lubrication, I would use an oil that's thin and lightweight such as sewing machine oil or air tool oil which would be fed through a pneumatic oiler. You can use a few drops of oil in the inlet and exhaust ports on occasion.
On my dump truck, I use this in order to automate my tailgate latches. The system seems to be working The 5 way switch I am using to push and pull this ram is from the same manufacturer. 150PSI, it takes all my strength to push the piston into the air, or pull it out of the air (relative to how the air is going to it), so I estimate the power on it is around 150 pounds. In addition to the missing quick connect, one of the ram's fittings were missing, and I was forced to contact the seller, but they promptly sent out the replacement fitting and a few more items. The overall impression I have is positive.
It is fast and sleek. Currently it is connected to a 2 or 3 position solenoid and timer, so that it can move in and out on its own and so far it is responsive no matter how fast I move it. There should be a solution somewhere, but I will have to look that up. The only thing I wish it came with was more push tube connectors than just the two. Putting these things together is what gets you hired. It is not enough to have just two, and adding more would cost as much as getting.
Because I believe I'll be able to use it in another shop project in the future rather than returning it, I kept it rather than sending it back.
While it may be possible to tap out the ports, there is not a lot of room for running the tap. In case anyone thinks the same as I, I thought I'd run the tap in more to see what happens. So far, it seems to be holding. However, the ram is a fine animal. Everything seems to be working well.
My far end is a 6mm 1/8NPT, but I've since added a mix of sizes at the far end.
I found it to be effective. It's not a little cylinder, but it is quite powerful and can handle some pretty high pressures. A device like this can be used to make all sorts of nifty little devices.
It does not seal enough to work when the piston seals to the cylinder. Poorly machined parts are found on both units. Do not buy these if accuracy is important to you, such as when you are actually working.
