Pussy!

David,
Need you expertise again!
Looking at the above Video, would you suspect that the seal could be the culprit as to my leak problem?
Thanks David.

I'd guess that the linkage shaft is deformed or scratched over the surface area that is interfacing with the seal, but just in that one small section of stroke. Really weird.
You can either hit up Jason at ngencylinders@gmail.com to get a new linkage shaft sent over, or just build one yourself. It's standard 1/8" brass tube, sealed and crimped at one end and drilled with a 5/64 hole. It would take about 2 minutes to make a new one and you should be on your way...Comment

The servo is too close to the seal body, Rob. Either move the servo back some to reduce the skew or get one of Bob's rack-and-pinion linear servo attachments to completely eliminate the skewing of the rod.
Keep plugging away, pal. You'll lick this thing.

Likely -- and this applies to cup type seals mostly -- if there is a large enough clearance between rod and seal body bore, and the skew of the rod as it passes through the seal body is excessive -- as clearly is the case with this very shortly coupled pushrod to the rotary arm of the servo -- then the rod will 'pinch' the cup seal to one side, unseating the other side of the cup away from the rod, forming the leakage path.

This is one of Bobs new 300 series Easy Driver cylinders. The servos are built into the end caps, and there is no way of removing them to move them back withou destroying the end cap.
I do have one more idea which I will try.
