Start here. You really must get the basics if you ever expect to be good at this.

One way is to feed air to the cylinder through an adjustable pressure regulator. Successively higher pressure compresses a spring or moves a load until the forces balance at an intermediate position.

You might try this searching on this or similar terms: pneumatic positioning control.

Just off the top, I'd look into a system like used on CNC machining equipment. A magnetic caliper could grab a bar attached to the cylinder.
