The 500 Series is designed for 500 PSI service, featuring a repairable rod with a removable hardened steel HEX STUD™ rod end. Available in bore sizes of 1-1/16”, 1-1/2”, and 2”, these cylinders are easy to install and maintain.
Key features include a hex stud made from heat-treated alloy steel, sintered bronze piston rod guide bushing, and a Buna N rod wiper seal. The cylinders are constructed with high-strength aluminum alloy end caps and a hard chrome-plated piston rod.
Specifications for bore sizes 1-1/16”, 1-1/2”, and 2” are provided, detailing model descriptions, weight, dimensions, and optional accessories. The ordering process involves selecting the model number based on bore size, stroke length, and mounting style.
Designed for applications up to 1500 PSI, the MH Series offers cost savings over the HH Series. It features single bi-directional piston seals and extended width wearband for superior side load carrying capabilities. The series includes 8 bore sizes and 18 NFPA mounts.
The MH Series includes features like a floating rod bushing, precision machined ports, and a high-strength steel piston rod. Options include stop tubes, center supports, and high-impact pistons for demanding applications.
Details on operating pressure, temperature ranges, and maximum stroke recommendations are provided. The document also includes force charts and port location specifications for complex designs.
The document includes extensive data on cylinder torque specifications, weight charts, and dimensions for various bore sizes and rod diameters. It specifies the torque requirements for tie rods and retainer plates, with torque values ranging from 5 ft-lbs to 140 ft-lbs depending on the component and size.
The document outlines the procedure for tightening cylinders using an 'X' pattern and specifies the use of anti-seize thread lubricant. It also provides guidelines for adding weight for double rod end cylinders and cushions.
The torque specifications are based on using LPS Premium Copper Anti-Seize lubricant, with a temperature rating from -65°F to 1800°F, and conform to Military Spec MIL-PRF-907-E. Torque tolerance is specified as -0% to +5%.
The document recommends adding 20% to mount and stroke weight for double rod end cylinders and 1% for cushions. It also provides detailed instructions on specifying NFPA mounting styles and dimensions for trunnion mounts.
The tables provide detailed torque specifications for different bore sizes and rod diameters, weight charts for basic cylinders, and dimensions for various mounting styles. The tables also include maximum PSI ratings and additional stroke weights for different configurations.
The document emphasizes the importance of using the correct torque specifications and mounting styles to ensure the proper functioning of hydraulic cylinders. It also highlights the need for using specified lubricants and following recommended procedures to maintain cylinder performance and longevity.
Designed for high pressure applications up to 3000 PSI, the HH Series offers multiple bore sizes, NFPA mounts, and rod end styles. Features include rod locks, stop tubes, center supports, and corrosion-resistant piston rods.
The document includes maximum stroke recommendations, port locations, and a force chart detailing effective piston area and force at various PSI levels.
The document outlines several mounting options for hydraulic cylinders, including flange mounts, rectangular mounting holes, square flange mounts, lug mounts, bottom mounts, pivot mounts, and double end mounts.
The document specifies tolerances for various dimensions, such as B dimension tolerance of +.000 / -.002 and CD dimension tolerance for pins.
The catalog notes that the maximum pressure ratings are for non-shock conditions and do not account for additional pressures from varying impact areas within the cylinder.
For technical assistance, the catalog provides a contact number: 800-442-4622.
The HH Series rod locks provide high holding force and are available in different force ratings based on release pressure. They are designed to hold linear loads stationary during power-off conditions and are not suitable for dynamic braking. The document includes technical data on operating pressure, temperature, and rod material requirements.
The document provides detailed technical data, including maximum hydraulic release pressure, holding forces, and rod material specifications. It also includes instructions on how to specify and order cylinders and rod locks, with dimensions and mounting options.
The document provides detailed specifications for various components such as spherical bearing pivot pins and alignment couplers. Each component is listed with its part number, dimensions, and maximum load capacity.
Bimba's alignment couplers are highlighted for their ability to eliminate the need for precise cylinder mounting, thus preventing binding and erratic movement. These couplers are made from Stress-Proof™ steel with a minimum yield of 100,000.
The document advises using the largest practical thread size for alignment couplers to handle high stresses. It also suggests using a jam nut to lock the coupler to the rod and pinning large thread sizes in tough applications to prevent loosening.
Bimba offers a range of sensors and transducers, including reed switches, solid state switches, inductive sensors, and magnetostrictive transducers. The Strokemaster™ inductive sensors are highlighted for their precision in end-of-stroke sensing for hydraulic cylinders.
Detailed technical data is provided for DC and AC/DC inductive sensors, including operational voltage, current ratings, and protection features. The document also includes specifications for cable connectors, emphasizing their voltage ratings, current capacity, and environmental protection standards.
The document explains the working principle of magnetostrictive technology used in linear position transducers. It describes how the interaction of magnetic fields and mechanical waves allows for precise position measurement.
A detailed table shows cylinder rod travel speeds in inches per minute for various bore and rod diameters, with flow rates from 1 to 75 gpm.
The document provides a compatibility chart for different seal compounds with various fluids, indicating recommended, satisfactory, marginal, and unsatisfactory ratings.
Includes fraction to decimal and metric conversions, temperature equivalents, and pressure conversions.
Provides formulas for calculating fluid pressure, cylinder area, and force, with mathematical equations for each property.
The catalog provides detailed dimensions for different models of double-acting double-end rod hydraulic cylinders, including bore sizes ranging from 25mm to 101mm. Each model's dimensions are specified in both millimeters and inches, covering aspects like rod diameter, stroke length, and port sizes.
Instructions on how to specify and order hydraulic cylinders and accessories are provided. This includes selecting the appropriate model number based on type, mounting style, bore size, stroke length, rod end style, port location, and size.
The catalog describes solid-state switch options for CMH models, highlighting features such as solid-state reliability, faster response time, and integrated LED indicators.
The document suggests using solid-state switches for applications requiring precise control and long life, as they reduce downtime compared to mechanical switches.
A comprehensive guide on ordering accessories and customizing hydraulic cylinders is provided, including model numbers, cable options, and connector types.
For technical assistance, Bimba provides contact details, including a phone number and website for further inquiries.
