Overview
The Bimba FO-1254 is a double-acting, single-end-rod pneumatic cylinder from the Flat-1 compact series. With a 4″ bore and 4″ stroke, this unit delivers reliable linear motion in tight spatial constraints. Built for compressed air service in industrial environments, the FO-1254 combines durable stainless steel construction with proven performance across automation, material handling, and precision pressing operations.
Key Features
- Double-acting design enables power in both extend and retract directions
- Single-end rod configuration provides maximum usable rod travel
- Compact flat profile minimizes footprint in integrated systems
- Stainless steel 304 body resists corrosion and extends service life
- Hard chrome-plated piston rod improves seal life and reliability
- Oil-impregnated bronze rod bushing for smooth, low-friction operation
- Buna-N seals maintain consistent performance across duty cycles
- Repairable design allows field seal and rod replacement
