Air Cylinders with Adjustable Cushions
The Bimba Air Cylinders with adjustable cushions have a readily accessible cushion needle for easy adjustment, double acting models, and a 304 stainless steel body with mirror finish I.D.
High strength aluminum alloy porting ends and ground and roller burnished 303 stainless steel piston rods come standard. Also, the air cylinders have Buna N "U" Cup Seals, low breakaway friction - less than 5 PSI - and special stroke lengths available on request.
Air cylinders come in 3/4", 1-1/16", 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", and 3" bore sizes.
Bimba's cylinders with air cushions provide a possible solution to destructive energies. The air cushion traps a small amount of exhaust air at the end of stroke, providing an air pocket that decelerates the load. This reduces the potentially destructive energy being transmitted to the cylinder and other components.

The Series 60 cylinders have been designed to comply with the dimensions laid down] in the DIN/ISO 6431 standards. A permanent magnet is mounted on the piston in these cylinders which enables, by means of proximity switches positioned along the cylinder tube, receiving information about the piston's position.
This cylinders series is normally equipped with adjustable end-stroke cushioning. Moreover these cylinders are equipped with a mechanical cushioning in order to reduce the impact of the piston as it reaches the end of the stroke.

The Slide Units Séries QCTF - QCBF are available in four différent sizes and hâve been designed to be used in (applications where space is limited and when the load must be guided. Regarding the bearings, the Slide Units are available in two versions, one with double sintered bronze bushes (Mod. QCTF) and the other with double linear bail bearings (Mod. QCBF). The QCTF version would normally be selected when the side loads applied to the slide unit are high. Model QCBF slide units are suitable for fast cycles (less side load) and higher précision. Regarding the end cushion: The Slide Units Séries QCTF - QCBF are available in three différent variants:
A. fixed mechanical cushion (standard),
B. with two shock absorbers located on the body and
C. with one shock absorber located central on the rear flange.
Accordingly, the variant B and C are suitable for
handling of higher mass forces and / or when it's
necessary to adjust the stroke.
The design of the Slide Unit body allows the moun-
ting of the Slide Unit using either top, bottom or
side faces.
Several T shaped grooves in two faces allow
magnetic sensors Mod. CST to be fitted in a number
of positions.

The Airpel Air Cylinder does away with any perceptible stiction and reduces running friction to exceedingly low levels. This gives it the unique ability to impart super smooth motion – motion smoother than any other air cylinder. Even at very low pressures. Even at very slow speeds. Even with very short strokes. Even after standing idle for years! How do you account for this remarkable performance? The Airpel incorporates a unique construction to become an instrument-quality air cylinder. It uses a precision fit graphite piston which slides freely – without lubrication – inside a Pyrex® glass cylinder. This makes it ideal for forces from a very few grams to 30 lbs. or more. In fact, Airpel is particularly well-suited to applications requiring smooth motion at ultra-low pressures – and to moving lightweight objects or delicate loads at slow or high speeds. But this air cylinder is no weakling. It can be used to provide brute forces, too – operating under extreme temperatures, at very high speeds and cycle rates, with no degradation in performance. It also runs cleaner than typical air cylinders because it contains no oil. What’s more, it has no rubber or plastic seals to abrade, wear out, or harden with time. And because all exposed surfaces (except pivot model bushings) are stainless steel and nickel, Airpel is extremely clean and corrosion resistant. Airpot Corporation is the world's leading manufacturer of ultra low friction, super-responsive pneumatic piston and cylinder motion dampers, actuators and Snubbers.
