Bimba Compact

If your application is tight on space, a Bimba Flat-I® round body cylinder is the answer.  These compact and repairable cylinders offer unequaled design, versatility and reliable performance. Many mounting and application specific options allow you to easily customize a Bimba Flat-I® cylinder to meet your application needs.

• Bore sizes:  9/16″, 3/4″, 1-1/16″, 1-1/2″, 2″, 2-1/2″, 3″, 4″
• 304 stainless steel body prevents corrosion
• Standard oil impregnated bronze rod bushing
• Stainless piston rod
• Precision machined anodized aluminum heads
• Several mounting options and stroke lengths available

Square Flat-I® series cylinders are a convenient alternative for horizontal and side mounting, with provisions for both bottom flush, or face mounting.  This design also minimizes the centerline distance when cylinders are mounted side by side.  With a variety of stroke lengths and options available, you can customize these cylinders to your application needs.

• Bore sizes:  3/4″, 1-1/16″, 1-1/2″, 2″, 2-1/2″, 3″, 4″
• 304 stainless steel body prevents corrosion
• Standard oil impregnated bronze rod bushing
• Stainless piston rod
• Precision machined anodized aluminum heads
• Maximum Pressure:  150 PSI (air only)

Flat-II® cylinders are ideal in applications where rotation is prohibited and space is minimal. Non-rotation is achieved using dual piston rods and a rod end block that ensures the rods work in tandem.  The Flat-II® eliminates the need for external alignment devices, such as guides, rods, and alignment posts or pins.

• Bore sizes:  3/4″, 1-1/16″, 1-1/2″, 2″
• 304 stainless steel body prevents corrosion
• Standard oil impregnated bronze rod bushing
• Stainless piston rod
• Precision machined anodized aluminum heads
• Maximum Pressure:  200 PSI (air only)

Square Flat-II® non-rotating, double acting cylinders provide the answer to applications where rotation cannot be tolerated.  Non-rotation is achieved with dual piston rods and a rod end block that insures the rods work in tandem.  This design eliminates the need for any type of external alignment devices and the square end caps allow for bottom flush or face mounting.

• Bore sizes:  3/4″, 1-1/16″, 1-1/2″, 2″
• 304 stainless steel body prevents corrosion
• 303 stainless steel tie-rods
• Stainless piston rod
• Precision machined anodized aluminum heads
• Maximum Pressure:  200 PSI (air only)

Bimba F02, F03, and F04 series Flat-I® cylinders are double acting, single end rod cylinders that multiply the force output by supplying air to multiple pistons on extension.  They save space and eliminate the need for a higher pressure system.  Only one piston is powered on the return stroke, saving air volume and operating costs.

• Bore sizes:  2-1/2″, 3″, 4″
• 304 stainless steel body prevents corrosion
• Standard oil impregnated bronze rod bushing
• Stainless piston rod
• Precision machined anodized aluminum heads
• Maximum Pressure:  100 PSI (air only)

The Bimba multiple position FOP Flat-I® is a double acting, single rod end cylinder that provides three positions with just one cylinder.  When air is supplied to Port 1, the cylinder extends to position 1.  When air is supplied to Port 2, the cylinder extends to position 2.  When air is supplied to Port 3, the cylinder is fully retracted.

• Bore sizes:  9/16″, 3/4″, 1-1/16″, 1-1/2″, 2″, 2-1/2″, 3”, 4”
• 304 stainless steel body prevents corrosion
• Standard oil impregnated bronze rod bushing
• Stainless piston rod
• Maximum Pressure:  200 PSI (air only)
• Other positions (4, 5, etc.) are available as specials.  Contact your local distributor for info.

Space Saver® cylinders provide the power and stroke of standard cylinders in less than half the space.  They are ideal for use in machinery where space and weight are at a premium, and cost up to 50% less than standard models.  They are built to last using oil impregnated sintered bronze rod bearings and hard coated cylinder bores that eliminate scoring.

• Bore sizes:  3/4″, 1-1/8″, 1-1/2″, 2″, 2-1/2″, 3″, 4″
• Uniform base thickness makes mounting easy regardless of stroke
• Cylinders are ideal for use on drill fixtures and other automated tooling
• Valve hookup is made easy because the top cylinder port swivels 360°
• Pressure:  0-150 PSI (air only)
• Temperature:  -40°F to 250°F (to 400°F with Viton)

This miniature cube cylinder is a double acting cylinder designed for applications requiring tight spaces and low output forces.  It is often used in the semiconductor industry, where several of them are mounted side by side in a test fixture for circuit board continuity testing.  Other applications include silicon wafer processing.

• Bore sizes:  0.188″
• 1/2″ x 1/2″ x 1/2″ cube dimensions
• 303 stainless steel piston rod
• Weighs only 0.25 oz.
• Maximum Pressure:  100 PSI (air only)
• Stroke length:  0.125″
