Bimba Manufacturing Company FT-311.5-3 Pneumatic Compact Cylinder

Bimba Manufacturing Company’s Flat-1 FT-311.5-3 Pneumatic Compact Cylinder is a compact linear actuator designed for space-constrained automation tasks. Packaged as a Flat-1 unit and labeled FT-311.5-3 with packaging variant 235-1, this cylinder belongs to Bimba’s Flat-1 family, which emphasizes a slim profile without sacrificing pneumatic performance. As a pneumatic compact cylinder, it converts compressed air into precise linear motion to extend and retract a piston rod, enabling routine actuation such as part positioning, clamping, or sequencing in small machinery, packaging lines, or automated fixtures. The FT-311.5-3 designation identifies a specific model within the Flat-1 lineup, offering consistent mounting interfaces and repeatable stroke characteristics intended for high-cycle applications where space is at a premium. Operators typically choose Flat-1 cylinders when a compact footprint is required to fit into constrained machinery envelopes while delivering dependable actuation over many cycles.
