Overview
The Bimba CPT-01650-A is a pneumatic rotary actuator from Bimba’s proven Pneu-Turn product line. Pneu-Turn® rotary actuators are manufactured using corrosive resistant components including 304 stainless steel gear shaft and cylinder bodies, anodized aluminum housing and end caps. This combination of materials ensures long service life in wet, corrosive, and demanding environments typical in food processing, chemical plants, and marine applications. The compact footprint and lightweight design make it ideal for space-constrained installations while maintaining robust torque output.
Key Features
- Corrosive resistant components including 304 stainless steel gear shaft and cylinder bodies, anodized aluminum housing
- Self-lubricating sintered iron copper shaft bearing standard; optional ball bearings available
- Rack-and-pinion design for smooth, reliable angular motion control
- Double-acting pneumatic operation for controlled motion in both directions
- Available in multiple bore sizes for scalable torque requirements
- Compatible with standard industrial pneumatic supply systems (80–150 psi)
Technical Specifications
Specific performance metrics for the CPT-01650-A model should be verified with Bimba’s latest technical documentation or sales team, as configurations vary based on bore size, porting, and options selected. General Pneu-Turn series actuators are available in the following bore sizes: 9/16″, 3/4″, 1-1/16″, 1-1/2″, and 2″ with rotation angles of 45°, 90°, 180°, 270°, and 360° (non-standard angles up to 1080° available).
