Heavy Duty Round Line Cylinders

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Bimba BIM-PFL-0320 Catalog 2020 is a comprehensive guide for heavy-duty round line cylinders, focusing on Double-Wall® and repairable stainless steel models. These cylinders are designed for durability in harsh environments, offering multiple mounting styles and corrosion resistance.
Product Features: Double-Wall® cylinders feature an epoxy-coated aluminum tie-tube outer shell and a 304 stainless steel body, providing resistance to dents and corrosion. They are available in six NFPA mounting styles and include bolt-on mounting kits. Suitable for washdown applications, they have smooth transitions to minimize sharp edges.
Engineering Specifications: Operating within a temperature range of -20º to 200º F, with an optional high-temperature range up to 300º F, these cylinders have a pressure rating of 200 PSI, reduced to 150 PSI with the high-temperature option. The standard piston rod is hard chrome plated, with 303 stainless steel as an option. Maximum stroke length is 72 inches, with longer strokes requiring review.
Mounting and Rod End Options: Six NFPA rod end styles are offered, with the one-piece male style #2 as the standard. Various mounting kits, including clevis, side lug, and flange mounts, are epoxy coated for durability.
Customization and Specials: Bimba provides custom design services to meet specific customer requirements, supported by a dedicated specials department for expedited delivery.
How It Works: The catalog explains mounting class selection and dual piston stop length calculation based on stroke length and configuration. Guidelines for determining maximum push force based on rod diameter and stroke length are included.
Dimensions and Ordering: Detailed dimensions for mounting styles and bore sizes are provided, along with ordering instructions. Tables for weights, dimensions, and mounting specifications assist in the selection process.
Specifications: The catalog details Double-Wall® pneumatic actuators, including options for double acting, cushions, magnetic position sensing, and nose mount configurations. Bore sizes range from 1-1/2" to 4" with customizable stroke lengths. High temperature seals and stainless steel rods are optional.
Accessories: Accessories include rod eyes, rod studs, rod clevises, pivot brackets, and clevis brackets, specified for different bore sizes. Hex nuts and various mounting kits are detailed with dimensions.
Ordering Information: Instructions for constructing a part number for ordering are provided, detailing model type, bore size, stroke length, and optional components. Mounting kits must be ordered separately.
Repair Instructions: Repair parts and kits, including rod seals, piston seals, and cushion seals, are listed with ordering instructions and part numbers.
Product Features: Constructed with materials like 303 and 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance, the cylinders are designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. Operating specifications include a temperature range of -20º to 200º F and a maximum pressure of 200 PSI.
Dimensions and Weights: Detailed dimensions for cylinder components and accessories are provided, along with approximate weights for different bore sizes. Specifications for oversized rods and USDA-approved options are included.
Conclusion: This catalog serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting, ordering, and maintaining Bimba's Heavy Duty Round Line Cylinders, offering detailed technical information and support for industrial applications.
Specifications: Detailed specifications for components like Clevis Brackets, Eye Brackets, and Stainless Steel Alignment Couplers are provided, with dimensions and thread sizes for compatibility.
Procedures: Instructions on accessorizing heavy-duty round line cylinders and ordering repairable stainless pneumatic actuators are included, specifying bore size, stroke length, and mounting styles.
Standards and Compliance: Compliance with NEMA ICS5-1996 for electromagnetic compatibility and protection class IP67 is mentioned, along with UL, CSA, and FM approvals.
Recommendations: Recommendations for ordering include specifying model numbers, stroke lengths, and mounting options. The use of magnetic pistons and high-temperature seals for specific requirements is advised.
Key Data from Tables: Tables provide dimensions for parts, maximum pull at yield for alignment couplers, and operating parameters for Centaur cylinders, including bore sizes, pressure ratings, and temperature ranges.
Critical Information: Important notes include the incompatibility of certain options like bumpers with proximity switches and the need for magnetic pistons for proximity switch functionality. The document emphasizes the cost-effectiveness and repairability of Centaur cylinders compared to traditional models.

Heavy Duty Round Line Cylinders-1

Heavy Duty Round Line Cylinders Bimba offers a variety of heavy duty repairable round line cylinders as counterparts to our non-repairable Original Line offerings. Double-Wall® cylinders convert into six NFPA mounting styles and utilize easy to assemble “bolt on” mounting kits. An epoxy coated aluminum tie-tube outer shell protects the inner 304 stainless steel body tube from harsh environments. This design allows these cylinders to withstand dents and dings that would normally cause single wall cylinders to fail. Bimba’s repairable stainless steel cylinders offer a corrosion resistant design that is ideal for washdown applications and is designed specifically to reduce sharp edges and corners and provide a smooth transition from end cap to cylinder body. Tapped holes are provided to allow easy mounting of USDA approved secondary wiper retainers as an option. BIMBA BIM-PFL-0320 Catalog 2020 | For Technical Assistance: 800-442-

How it Works Piston Rod Diameter HEAVY DUTY ROUND LINE CYLINDERS 5/8" and 1" diameter rods are standard. These rods are made of high strength steel and are suitable for most applications. On long stroke, high thrust applications caution should be exercised and the column strength and stop length chart on page 435 should be reviewed. Hard chrome plated rods are supplied as standard on all models except 1-1/2" MRS, which are 303 stainless steel. Special materials such as 303 stainless steel are available on request.
