Bimba Position Cylinders — Lower-Cost Alternative to Electric Actuators

For flexible machines that adapt to different products, sizes, or processes, Bimba Position Feedback Cylinders provide uncompromised performance and value. Designed for tough applications, the new Non-Contact Position Feedback Cylinders (PFCN) are resistant to moisture, oil, airborne debris, dust, and air line contamination. Coupled with a Bimba closed loop Position Control System (PCS), the PFCN models are a durable lower cost alternative to electronic actuators. Order your PFCN with a companion PCS closed loop control (the “Y” option) and save over $300! Learn more about the other Position Control products listed below.
