Bimba FOD-313.5-H Flat-1 Double Acting Pneumatic Cylinder

Bimba FOD-313.5-H Flat-1 double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivers compact, repeatable linear motion in tight automation spaces. The model specifies a 2-1/2 in bore and a 3-1/2 in stroke, making it suitable for short-throw actuation where footprint matters. As a Flat-1 family member, it features a corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel body and a stainless piston rod, with an oil-impregnated bronze rod bushing for smooth, durable operation at up to 200 PSI (air only). The double-acting design provides controlled extension and retraction from opposed ports, enabling reliable positioning and intermittent cycle control in applications such as pick-and-place, fixture indexing, clamping, and compact transfer tasks. The Flat-1 platform emphasizes a compact envelope and robust sealing, supporting repeated cycles in factory environments while offering the piston area and stroke length needed for moderate-force actuation. With a 2-1/2 inch bore, it supplies greater piston area than smaller diameters for higher force at similar speeds, while the 3-1/2 inch stroke delivers practical travel for short-stroke sequences. This model is designed to integrate with standard pneumatic valves and lines, delivering predictable, repeatable motion suitable for automation cells that require a small, high- or medium-load actuator.
