Overview
The Bimba ET-2076-EEB2M is an extruded linear thruster—a rugged, guided pneumatic actuator ideal for applications demanding smooth, non-rotational motion with integrated load-bearing geometry. Built with high-quality materials including a hard chrome-plated stainless steel rod and aluminium body, this 20mm bore × 76mm stroke cylinder delivers reliable performance in industrial automation, material handling, and precision positioning systems.
Key Features
- Integrated thruster block design with cylinder built into the actuator housing for space efficiency
- Smooth guided motion with self-lubricating nylon guide bushings and stainless steel guide shafts
- Double-acting configuration suitable for bidirectional control and positioning
- Hard chrome-plated rod resists corrosion and extends service life
- Low-deflection design with switch-mounting capability for clean, compact installations
- Standard U.S. customary (inch) threads for simplified port and mounting compatibility
