The Bimba 172-D is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 1-1/2 in bore and a 2 in stroke, designed for reliable linear actuation in automation equipment. It uses compressed air to drive both extension and retraction, enabling push-pull operation in compact machinery and automated assemblies. With its 1-1/2 in bore, it provides a balanced footprint and force for mid-range applications, while the 2 in stroke offers workable travel in tight installations. Common uses include actuation in automated assembly lines, fixture movement, and material-handling modules where a simple, rugged air-powered actuator is preferred for repeatable motion and straightforward maintenance.
