Bimba NR-172.5-D Double Acting Pneumatic Cylinder

Bimba NR-172.5-D is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder engineered for bidirectional linear actuation in tight automation spaces. It features a 1-1/2 in bore and a 2.5 in stroke, delivering predictable extension and retraction under standard shop air pressures, with a front nose mount and a non-rotating square rod to maintain piston alignment during movement. The design notes indicate no internal cushioning, no rod wiper, no magnets, and no bumper, in keeping the package lean for straightforward installation and maintenance. Described in distributor catalogs as 'NR-172.5-D Double Acting - Air Return,' this model emphasizes a simple, robust actuation profile suitable for short-stroke cycles in fixtures, clamps, and tooling where mounting orientation matters. The combination of a 1.5" bore and 2.5" stroke forms a compact footprint that fits in constrained layouts while providing a stable stroke with reliable movement characteristics. With front nose mount and non-rotating square rod, it is configured to maintain alignment in inline installations.
