Bimba CFO-01438-A Flat-1 Pancake Pneumatic Cylinder

The BIMBA CFO-01438-A Flat-1 Pancake Cylinder is a compact pneumatic actuator from BIMBA’s Flat-1 family, featuring a round-body profile optimized for space-limited installations. Identified by the CFO-01438-A variant, this model represents a discrete configuration within the Flat-1 line that delivers linear motion in a very small footprint. As a pancake cylinder, it operates with compressed air to extend and retract a piston over a short overall length, enabling mounting in crowded automation cells and close to other actuators. The Flat-1 family is known for its space-saving geometry and modular options, including a range of bore sizes and end-cap configurations to suit different mounting and porting needs. This model exemplifies BIMBA’s approach to compact, reliable automation components designed to fit tight envelopes while delivering consistent pneumatic actuation. Its compact form factor is intended for installation in tight machine enclosures, where mounting and porting options must align with other Flat-1 components. As part of BIMBA's Flat-1 family, CFO-01438-A shares the lineage of space-efficient pancake actuators designed for short- stroke, high-precision linear motion in automation, assembly, and compact handling tasks.
