The Bimba CFO-11086-A-25 cylinder is a high-performance pneumatic actuator introduced by Bimba Manufacturing Company in the United States. Specifically designed for industrial automation applications, it is renowned for its precision control, robust durability, and modular adaptability. As a cylinder brand with over 60% market share in North America, Bimba's products consistently serve as core components in highly efficient automation systems.
Core Technologies and Design Features
Materials and Structure
High Corrosion Resistance: The cylinder features a 304 stainless steel body and stainless steel piston rod, both treated with a mirror-polished finish. This makes it suitable for humid, chemically corrosive, or high-purity environments (such as food processing and medical equipment), significantly extending its service life.
Anti-Twist Design: The unique square piston rod structure (instead of the traditional hexagonal shape) ensures that the rotation angle during piston movement is less than 2.5 degrees, enhancing positioning accuracy for precision assembly applications.
Performance Parameters
Operating Pressure Range: Supports 2–120 psi (approximately 0.14–8 bar), compatible with standard industrial air supply systems, and provides stable thrust output.
Stroke and Load: The typical stroke range is 25–150 mm (specific to the model indicated), with thrust capabilities reaching 400–6,230 N. It combines high-speed response (movement speed of 0.1–0.5 m/s) with high load-bearing capacity.
Sealing Technology: Utilizes polyurethane dynamic lip seals with a U-shaped cross-section design, maintaining low friction and zero leakage even under unlubricated conditions, reducing maintenance frequency.
