Bimba TE-096-C Stainless Steel Guided Cylinder

The Bimba TE-096-C is a double-acting TE-series linear thruster designed for compact, guided motion in automated assemblies. It features a 1-1/16 in bore and a 6 in stroke, delivering precise extension and retraction within tight envelopes, with a 1/8 NPT port for supply lines. Marketed as a Composite Bearing Linear Thruster, it uses a non-magnetic piston and includes adjustable cushions to tailor deceleration and end-stroke behavior. The design emphasizes guided, non-rotational motion and requires rear mounting support in horizontal installations to maintain alignment during operation. Operating temperature is specified from -20 to 200 °F, enabling use across a broad range of shop-floor environments. With these characteristics, the TE-096-C is well-suited for small-parts actuation, push/pull tasks, or clamping and material-feeding functions in compact automation setups where precise linear motion and predictable end-stroke control are essential.
