Bimba Double-Wall® Air Cylinder General Operating instructions

  • Hello! I've reviewed the product instructions for the Bimba Double-Wall Air Cylinder, models K-B-, K-D-, and K-P-M-. This document outlines the complete disassembly and repair process, including replacing specific parts like O-rings, piston seals, and retaining rings. I'm ready to assist with any questions you might have about the repair procedures or components.
  • What needs to be removed first during disassembly?
    What should be done with the retaining rings after removing them?
    What parts come out when pulling the rod during disassembly?
    When installing the rear head, what alignment is important?
    What parts do you install before inserting piston and rod assembly?
