I'll post pictures and dimensions tomorrow morning. I recall the seal being 1" OD, .75" ID and .103" wide, but I'll make sure before I post the pictures. Instead of shuttle, I think I meant to call it a bobbin which actually may be a hydraulics term. The valve body has a .43" diameter rod which has a short 1" diameter piston screwed to each end.

They are waiting to be installed on some nema 23 steppers on an engraver. I searched for feedback on these drives and everything I saw was positive.

[Emc-users] Mystical error on startup
Hello! I was playing with the config on my router, when suddenly I started to receive this error message. I was configuring rotary axis, got it turning, so I changed stepgen scale in INI file, restarted LinuxCNC and got this error. I tried reverting whatever changes made also prior scale change, did not help. Restarting PC also does not help. Some very old and outdated configs backup did work, I tried to check for any strange differences (like typos etc), but no luck there. The thing is that I do not see any line, related to any of my config files and I have no idea, what is "hal_init()" and how any of config lines would affect it, so I will appreciate any suggestions.
