Bimba Manufacturing 173-DXB Pneumatic Cylinder

Bimba M-173-DXB pneumatic cylinder is a double-acting actuator with a 1-1/2 in bore and a 3 in stroke, designed for precise, compact linear motion in limited-space automation tasks. It operates on compressed air using an air-return scheme for retraction and offers mounting versatility, supporting both front nose mounting and double-end mounting configurations to fit a range of installations. The unit uses a round rod and incorporates a magnetic piston for easy sensor integration, while a bumper is included to cushion end-of-stroke contact; cushioning is listed as none and there is no rod wiper. This model is the M-173-DXB variant, commonly cataloged as 173-DXB in BIMBA's product lineup, and is built to endure standard pneumatic duty cycles in compact machinery. With its combination of a moderate stroke and a compact bore, it is well-suited for short-throw actuations, positioning tasks, and basic actuation in space-constrained assemblies where a 1.5 in bore and 3 in stroke are appropriate.
