FYI! don't order from Bimba's distributor in San Jose, they are completely incompetent. I ordered the cylinders and nothing happened for three weeks. I called them up and they had forgot to ship them I called them again but to no avail, they never showed up. I finally gave up and bought them somewhere else.
How interesting. Either this past year or the year before, I ordered two of the smallest cylinders, and a rotary actuator (through the FIRST order form). Like 2 and a half weeks later, no word, no shipment, so I call them. Rotary actuator was out of stock, so they put the whole order on hold and never let me know.
