<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes I had the rod end shear off.&nbsp; I am
convinced that the geometry of the system is all wrong.&nbsp; By this I mean
that when you need the cylinder to completely close the door it is at a
point where most of the pull from the cylinder is parallel to the
door.&nbsp; Also I feel that the cylinder should be to&nbsp;free to pivot
about its mounting point.&nbsp; This is due o the fact that the operating
end moves in arc to close the door.&nbsp; If the cylinder cannot pivot the
force will impose a bending moment on the rod end and of course the rest of
the system.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope that helps.</FONT></DIV>
