Bimba wait time
first of all i am very appreciative of this company being willing to do so much donating to FIRST Robotics. That being said the build and ship time on our free cylinders will almost make them unusable for this season. ( we ordered the first day website was working. As of today 7-10 days yet tell they get here:(
maybe its the good, fast, cheep ...pick 2 philosophy |

Re: Bimba wait time
Cylinders we purchase from Bimba do come rather quickly.

Re: Bimba wait time
Do pistons ordered without the voucher ship in a more reasonable time? Or is it Bimba in general that is very slow?

Automation Direct...
Ships SAME DAY. For us, 2 days UPS GROUND from GA. http://www.automationdirect.com/adc/...ers_(A-Series) Good prices to me and worth it to my team. Or, PHD has some OCG cylinders, but they are not easy to get through a website, you have to locate a distributor in your area. https://www.phdinc.com/product/?prod...ers&series=ocg Find a PHD Distributor: https://www.phdinc.com/support/mydistributors/ |

Re: Bimba wait time
Last year, we ordered cylinders. The 'free' ones shipped from Mexico and took something like 3 weeks. The purchased ones shipped from Chicago and we had them in just a couple days. The cylinders were the same.

Re: Bimba wait time
I just called and heard back from Bimba, we ordered 1/15 and they hope to ship from Mexico tomorrow (1/30), no delivery information. We need spares anyway so I guess I'll go ahead and order a couple from AD so we can finish assembly.

The cylinders (3/4" bore, 12" stroke, double acting, rear pivot) we ordered from McmasterCarr ended up being Bimbas anyways. They probably aren't all Bimba cylinders, but some are.

Re: Bimba wait time
For what it's worth, I ordered Automation Direct cylinders yesterday and they will be arriving tomorrow. The offer free 2-day shipping on any orders over $49 and have a fairly reasonable selection: http://www.automationdirect.com/adc/...ders_(A-Series) 7/16" bore up to 2" bore. Bimba or McMaster would probably have more selection, but these met our needs this year and were much more inexpensive (around $60 for a 2" bore 4" stroke).
