Bimba Manufacturing FO-502-1 Pneumatic Cylinder

The Bimba FO-502-1 Flat-1 pneumatic cylinder is a compact, double-acting actuator with a 2-1/2 in bore and a 2 in stroke, designed for pivot-mount installations in tight spaces. As part of the Flat-1 family, it employs a flat-profile body that supports robust linear motion from compressed air while keeping the envelope small enough for crowded machine layouts. The FO-502-1 operates as a double-acting cylinder, delivering extend and retract strokes under standard pneumatic pressure to drive fixtures, clamps, or positioning elements in automation cells. With a 2.5 in bore, it provides substantial force at typical shop air pressures, making it suitable for demanding actuation tasks where space constraints limit larger cylinders. The pivot-mount configuration adds mounting flexibility for applications that require directional control or angular positioning of the actuator within a fixture or mechanism. This model is intended for integration into common pneumatic systems and can be paired with standard fittings and compatible control valving to achieve reliable, repeatable motion in manufacturing, packaging, and assembly environments. For engineers seeking a space-saving solution that preserves strong actuation performance, the FO-502-1 offers a precise, straightforward option within Bimba’s Flat-1 line.
