Double-Acting Non-Rotating Pneumatic Cylinder

Bimba Manufacturing Company introduces the EF2, a double acting, non-rotating pneumatic cylinder. It is a compact, aluminium-extruded body cylinder designed for international machine requirements. The EF2 is capable of carrying side loads of up to 26 kg-force and movements up to 5.6 N-m. The tooling plate has a radial deflection ranging from 0.17 mm to 0.61 mm, and a rotational tolerance of less than or equal to 1/2 of a degree. The Bimba EF2 cylinder has a PTFE-impregnated, hard anodized aluminium body that provides superior wear resistance. The repairable cylinder is dimensionally-interchangeable with similar compact extruded aluminium body cylinders. The Bimba EF2 cylinder also features a new miniature switch that slides into a track in the cylinder body. Expected service life of the EF2 cylinder is 2,500 km. Bimba EF2 cylinders are available in ten bore sizes, 12 mm to 100 mm, and a wide variety of stroke lengths in 5 mm increments. A standard option provides threaded mounting holes, rod threads and ports in US customary units. Mounting options include threaded bottom and threaded rear/front mounting. Other options include bumpers, magnetic position sensing, blank tooling plate, and high temperature option. Cylinders can also be custom designed for specific applications.
