Q: Strokes 12" & 24" are available for 1 1/2" bore from Bimba / First special order section but not listed in the Pneumatic Manual Order sample (pg. 19). Please definitively clarify if 12" & 24" are allowed.
A: WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE OBVIOUS CONFUSION WE HAVE INFLICTED UPON TEAMS, PARTICULARLY BY OUR ANSWER TO #1335. We were correct in our answer (the manual takes precedence) as it points you to the Bimba site, but we were far from clear. We will clarify the answer to #1335. As the Pneumatics Manual states very clearly on P19... Please check the Bimba web site for available strokes in each bore size. These are the cylinders you can use.
