Looking for info pertaining to Bimba Cylinders SR-042-DPBY

[HolyRedPenguin]

If anyone has user manuals or cad models of these could you please link them. Our team is just getting into pneumatic and i would like as much info as possible

Looking at the pdf of the "original line catalog', SR, just means "stainless rod". Because stainless steel is significantly weaker (tensile strength) than carbon steel, I would think that such a cylinder might be more appropriate for a food plant with daily wash-down than for a robot. I just recommend the original line, unless you need a magnet or a cushion, which also work very well.

The link for the 'original line catalog'--which is like a paper catalog but has all your info is:

As for CAD, you don't need to draw these, Bimba gives away great models for free once you've built the part number (sometimes a guess) using the catalog link above.

You'll need to enter some criteria in the blanks here, and then go to 'download' above the picture to tell it what type of file you need. I've mostly used them in Inventor, but they worked great.

Also, I know that the math is easy and you probably want to do it yourself, but if you want to just 'read' how much force each size bimba can generate at our pressure (60psi), I made this handy chart.

Best of luck.

Just go to bimba.com, enter the part number in the search, click the link, and it takes you to this page, which gives you a number of options to look at images or download CAD.
