3. CONSTRUCTION FEATURES

• Industrial cylindrical metal housing.
• Double-acting pneumatic operation.
• Round piston rod.
• Rear pivot mounting configuration.
• BIMBA Original Line design.
• Nominal 12-inch stroke.
• Suitable for industrial pneumatic automation systems.

4. OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The cylinder operates using compressed air supplied through its pneumatic ports.

Air pressure moves the internal piston in both directions, providing extension and retraction of the piston rod.

The rear pivot mounting allows angular movement during operation, helping accommodate mechanical movement and alignment variations.

5. INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

• Industrial production equipment.
• Automated machinery.
• Pushing and pulling mechanisms.
• Mechanical positioning systems.
• Material handling equipment.
• Industrial assembly systems.

6. DIMENSIONAL INFORMATION

• Bore diameter: 1-1/2 in (38.1 mm).
• Stroke length: 12 in (304.8 mm).
• Approximate overall length: 18 in (457.2 mm), based on the supplied measurement. Actual overall dimensions must be verified.

7. EQUIPMENT CONDITION

Used industrial pneumatic cylinder showing visible signs of previous use, including normal surface wear, scratches and cosmetic marks.

Internal seals, piston rod condition, pneumatic connections and air leakage should be inspected and tested before returning the cylinder to service.
