I've done some experimenting with pistons in the past. What worked best (trick derived from the book 'Secrets of figure creation with Poser 5' by B.L. Render) is making the piston a body part, and use "point at" another body part (usually a bone without geometry, positioned so that the piston direction is exactly right).
Whatever the body part movements, the piston will move and point in exactly the right direction. No ERC needed.
I can HIGHLY recommend that book. ISBN is 0-240-51929-9
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
