Bimba Double-Wall® Air Cylinder Assembly Instructions

  • Hello! I've reviewed the product instructions for Bimba Double-Wall Air Cylinder mounting kits. This document provides step-by-step guidance for installing various mounting configurations, including front and rear flanges, side and end lugs and rear pivot and clevis options. It also includes torque specifications for different screw sizes. I'm ready to answer any questions you might have regarding the mounting procedures or components detailed in this document.
  • What bore sizes require a plastic spacer for front flange mounting?
    What components are installed on the back of the cylinder for rear flange mounting?
    What is the torque requirement for #6-32 screws?
    What models use lug mounting brackets?
