Original Line Air Cylinder

The Original Line air cylinders features and advantages include:
  • Type 304 stainless steel bodies with mirror finish ID for long, reliable life.
  • Pre-lubricated with HT-99, Bimba's own specially-formulated oil compound, for extensive maintenance-free performance.
  • Piston-to-rod connection is threaded, sealed and riveted securely in place.
  • Low breakaway frictional characteristics; collapsible U-cup rod and piston seals; oil-impregnated, sintered bronze rod bushing on most sizes; and breakaway slots on each endcap for fast seal inflation.
  • Roll-formed rod threads on both ends for high strength.
  • Blow-by flats on double acting model pistons ensures proper seal inflation.
  • 250 psi rating.
  • High strength aluminum alloy porting ends, machined for minimal breakaway during initial pressurization.

The Magnetic Reed Switch Original Line

Series MRS cylinders are specifically designed to operate Bimba position sensing switches to actuate programmable controllers, relays, solenoids, timers, or any other electrically operated equipment. MRS cylinders have an additional groove in the piston to accommodate a magnet. They differ from option "M" because they combine features of the "Z" line with Original Line construction. Track mounted switch capabilities (only on Bimba MRS cylinders) BIMBA MRS cylinders can also be ordered with a mounting track (add "Z" after the mounting style designation in the model number, (i.e., MRS-021-DZB). The track is located 90° from the ports. Add "ZTT" for 2 tracks, each 90° from the ports. Additional charges apply for the "Z" option. Additional characteristics are:
  • Ground and roller burnished 303 stainless steel piston rod is standard.
  • Double acting models.
  • Special stroke lengths available on request.
  • Force exerted ranges from 0.2 to 5.0 of air line pressure.
  • Maximum stroke is 12" on most models; with a maximum of 32" for -DXP cylinders.
  • 250 psi pressure rating.
  • Options available at no charge are: (G) Magnalube G, (NT) No Thread.

The Non-Rotating Original Line

The Original Line non-rotating cylinder is a new dimension in Bimba's Original Line consisting of an unique square piston rod with rounded corners in a stainless steel body. The square rod prevents rotation better than other rod configurations, and the rounded corners provide longer seal life than conventional hexagon rods. The unusual geometry of the square rod also provides superior rotation control. All bore sizes have a rotation control of less than or equal to 2-1/2°. The special high strength aluminum alloy rod guide provides high load carrying capability and abrasion resistance. The urethane-based rod seal provides excellent seal life and leak-free service. The Original Line non-rotating cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable with the standard Original Line stainless steel cylinder. Additional characteristics are:
  • Electroless Nickel-plated Carbon Steel piston rod is standard.
  • Unique square piston rod with rounded corners.
  • High strength aluminum alloy rod guide.
  • Urethane-based rod seal and Buna N "U" cup piston seal.
  • Available in double acting and reverse acting models.
  • Special stroke lengths available on request.
  • Force exerted ranges from 0.2 to 5.0 of air line pressure.
  • Maximum stroke is 6" or 12" on most models; with a maximum of 24" for -DXP cylinders.
  • 250 psi pressure rating.
  • Options available at no charge are: (G) Magnalube G, (K) Ports rotated, (Q) Side ported rear head, (Y) Pivot Bushing (on selected models).
  • Options available at additional charge are: (B) Bumpers, (EE) Extra extension, (M) Magnet, (V) High Temperature Seals, and (F) Molycoated body.
