I'm not sure if you are referring to the bore, throw or pistion diameter, but from the dimensions you just threw out, I would say you are interested in the stroke. The Bimba order form has varying stroke lengths from:
- 1/2" up to 10" throw for 3/4" bore
- 1/2" up to 24" throw for 1-1/2" bore
- 1/2" up to 24" throw for 2" bore

The intermediate sizes vary with the bore diameter, however you get the picture.
