Bimba BFNR-176 5-D Pneumatic Double Acting Cylinder

The Bimba BFNR-176 5-D is a pneumatic double-acting cylinder designed for reliable, bidirectional linear actuation in automation and equipment. In double-acting operation, pressurized air applied to two ports drives the piston to extend and retract, enabling push-pull motion without springs and allowing precise control of motion under load. This model belongs to Bimba’s BFNR family and is commonly used wherever compact, air-powered linear actuation is needed to drive actuators such as clamps, slides, or grippers in manufacturing, packaging, and assembly environments. With two-port control for extend and retract, it supports straightforward integration into pneumatic circuits and enables repeatable positioning within the cylinder’s stroke. The BFNR-176 5-D designation identifies the specific model within the BFNR lineup and reflects its configured bidirectional operation and intended use within the family’s range. This description provides the essential function and typical use of this model based on its naming and role as a double-acting pneumatic cylinder.
