 Bimba Manufacturing announced this week the addition of the EFP MultiPosition and EFQ MultiForce cylinders to the EF product line.
The EFP Extruded Flat MultiPosition cylinder is a double–acting, single rod end cylinder that provides three positions in one cylinder package. This unit is designed to help simplify machine changeovers and save costs. By utilizing the existing EF footprint this two piston design saves space and eliminates the need for an additional cylinder.
The EFQ Extruded Flat MultiForce cylinder is a double-acting, single end rod cylinder that doubles the resultant force on extension. This cylinder features a two piston design that eliminates the need for higher pressure systems or unique configurations. And, to save air volume and operating costs, only one piston is pressurized on the return stroke.
Both cylinders share the same popular benefits of the EF product line, including PTFE impregnated hard anodized body for superior wear resistance and seal life. The EFP and EFQ are both easily interchangeable to other compact extruded cylinders of the same bore size and can easily connect and operate to an application’s pneumatic logic. For detailed specifications, performance, and ordering information, consult the EFQ/EFP catalog.

 Bimba Manufacturing announced today the availability of Electric Ultran High Load slides, Bimba’s first standard electric models. The slides achieve a new level of performance with higher positioning accuracy, smoother operation, and facility for positioning control. With a footprint similar to the Bimba Ultran High Load pneumatic line, the products are perfect for addressing high moment loads, high side loads, and processes that require precision positioning like those found in packaging, material handling, and pick-and-place applications.
Models are available in two frames, 09 and 17, with DC motor, step motor, and no motor options in strokes up to 72 inches. The DC motor driven slides produce maximum thrusts from 5 to 168 pounds at maximum speeds from 16 to 40 inches per second. Step motor driven slides produce maximum thrusts from 12 to 200 pounds, at maximum speeds from 15 to 25 inches per second, for applications that require more accurate positioning.
Fine or Coarse frames are available. The Fine frame provides better than 0.010-inch position control, while the Coarse frame provides a more cost-effective solution when 0.100-inch position control is acceptable.
Ball and lead screws are also available. The lead screw provides the quietest operation and least end play, while the ball screw provides the highest efficiency and greatest load capacity. Standard options include stroke length adjustments, bumpers, a switch track, and a screw wiper to keep contamination out of the drive nut.
All Ultran High Load Electric models are covered by Bimba’s 3-year warranty, and are available 5 working days from receipt of order. For detailed performance, selection, and ordering information, consult Bimba’s 12-page UHLE catalog or contact Bimba.

 Legris Inc introduces the new Airware™ Filters, Regulators and Lubricators (FRL).
Airware FRL’s are available in 3 sizes – Miniature, Compact, Standard – in 1/8” to 1” NPT and BSPP thread and in 3 different pressure ranges: 8-36 psi, 8-145 psi, 8-232 psi.
Airware™ FRL’s feature a high degree of modularity for flexibility and easy maintenance, as well as captured O-rings to ensure a reliable seal.
Each of the key components has several desirable features:
-A wide variety of filters are available: Coalescing, Particulate, Purifying, and Activated Carbon Filtration from 40 microns down to 0,01 micron.
-The relieving type regulator works with a very small hysterisis band with a quick response that gets air flow back up to system pressure quickly. Available lockable regulator features a very secure construction and prevents unnecessary adjustments.
-Airware™ lubricators uniquely feature the ability to refill oil while under pressure and a patented diaphragm to guarantee effective lubrication with low flow rate.
Legris offers also a complete range of value-added:
-Lockable 3/2 Shut-off valve. Used to secure maintenance tasks and meets Osha ‘Tag out, lock out’ standard.
-3/2 Shut-off valve with up/down knob. This product’s built in safety feature shuts down the system when pressure drops below 58 PSI.
-The two step Soft Start valve with adjustment of time and pressure-snap point provides smooth and progressive start-up pressurization for added safety of machine operators and the protection of pneumatic components.
