Pneumatic rods...maybe interesting for the sliding door?

Does anyone here know much about linear actuators?
I had always been under the assumption that they are an all on/all off type of device where you have little control over the force of the device/motion. As I've researched them more this seems to be completely wrong. Would I be able to set the force output of a linear actuator to a low enough level such that if an arm got in the way of a closing door the operation would stop?
A company I've been looking at a lot is called Tolomatic. Their products seem pretty impressive and can be found at: http://www.tolomatic.com/
How about this from Skylinkhome:
It's an automatic door opener for up to 100lbs. It's $260
