Well, it may be possible to use a long stroke solenoid, either standard or custom designed. However, 2" is a fairly long distance for a linear solenoid, and large solenoids tend to be fairly pricey. Also, unlike an air or hydraulic cylinder, the force and acceleration will be a nonlinear function of the plunger's position. You could intensify the speed and force by pulsing a DC solenoid from a high voltage capacitor, but this adds another layer of complexity. Sorry, but I don't have any electromagnetic solutions that are simple and inexpensive. Best regards, -- Bert --
