Overview
The Bimba FT-170.75 pneumatic cylinder is a double-acting flat-style actuator designed for space-constrained industrial applications. The Flat-II non-rotating design provides stable, predictable motion without rotational forces, making it ideal for linear positioning, clamping, and transfer operations in manufacturing and automation systems.
Key Features
- Double-acting design for bi-directional force output
- Non-rotating cylinder body eliminates rotational torque
- Compact flat profile for tight installation spaces
- Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
- Oil-impregnated bronze rod bushing for low friction operation
- Standard mounting configuration with counterbored holes
