Space savings without sacrificing quality means better performance and longer cylinder life.Flat-1 offers these quality features:
BIMBA Flat-1 cylinders were designed with space savings in mind.Five models offer five ways to save space.
• Flat-1, the original round cylinder
• Square Flat-1, for additional mounting variations
• Flat-II, the round, dual piston rod, nonrotating cylinder
• Square Flat-II, the square, dual piston rod, nonrotating cylinder
• FM2/FM3/FM4 for two, three, or four times the forcein a single cylinder
• FMP for three positions
• 4301 stainless steel (X5 CrNi 18.9) cylinder body with a mirror finish I.D.Stainless steel fights corrosion andscoring from dirt particles. The result islonger piston seal life.
• Oil impregnated bronze rod bushing isstandard in all models. No sacrifice ofbushing length to save space.
• Ground and polished 4305 stainless steel(X12 CrNi 18.8) piston rod.
• High strength piston to rod connection.
• Precision machined, anodized aluminumalloy heads.

Approximate Power Factors(For all models except FM2, FM3, FM4)
14mm = 15 N/bar19mm = 28 N/bar27mm = 57 N/bar38mm = 113 N/bar50mm = 196 N/bar63mm = 311 N/bar76mm = 453 N/bar
101mm = 801 N/bar
For example, a 14mm boremodel FM-0225 will exert a forceof approximately 75N when thesupply pressure is 5 bar.

(Mounting Options)
*Heavy duty rear head isrecommended for applicationswhere the cylinder is mounted onthe front face or trunnion-mounted, and impact loading (20or more cycles per minute)occurs between the piston andrear head. It increases the overalllength of the cylinder as shown.
**A minimum stroke of 9.5mm isrequired to sense extending end-of-stroke position. For lowfriction seals used in conjunctionwith magnetic position sensing,use M length adder only.

Metric Bimba Flat-II Series
Flat-II nonrotating, double-acting cylinder provides the answer to applicationswhere rotation cannot be tolerated and space is at a minimum. Nonrotation isachieved with dual piston rods and a rod end block that insures the rods workin tandem. Flat-II eliminates the need for external alignment devices, such asguides, rods and alignment posts or pins.

Nonrotation is achieved through the use of dual piston rods incorporated into the body of the Flat-IIcylinder. The rods are securely attached to the piston by our unique spin-riveting process. A rod endblock is used to insure the rods work in tandem—as a team. This end block also acts as a usefulsurface to easily accommodate any mounting attachments required to get the job done. For mount-ing convenience, the rod end block is provided with threaded mounting holes or optionalcounterbored holes.
As with any cylinder application, side loading should be avoided. The two smaller rods will havemore deflection due to side load than the one standard rod in a comparable Flat-1 model.

Metric Square Flat-II nonrotating, double acting cylinder provides the answer to applications where rotationcannot be tolerated. Nonrotation is achieved with dual piston rods and a rod end block that insures the rods workin tandem. Square Flat-II eliminates the need for external alignment devices. It also provides a convenientalternative for horizontal and side mounting, with provisions for both bottom flush or face mounting. Centerlinedistances are minimized, facilitating side-by-side cylinder mounting.

Metric Bimba FMP Series
The Bimba Metric Multiple Position FMP Flat-1 is a double-acting, single rod end cylinder that provides three positions withjust one cylinder.*
• Body — 4301 Stainless Steel (X5 CrNi 18.9)
• Heads—Anodized Aluminum Alloy
• Piston Rod — Ground and Polished 4305 Stainless Steel(X12 CrNi S18.8)
• Seals — Buna N (High temperature seals optional)
• Rod Bushing — Oil Impregnated Bronze
• Pressure Rating — 14 Bar Maximum (Air only)
• Temperature Rating — From -25°C to +65°C
Buna N seals with a temperature range of -25°C to +65°Care standard in all Bimba air cylinders. Fluoroelastomerseals rated for higher temperature applications are available.If cylinders are operated at temperatures below -18°C forextended time periods, special modifications may berequired. Special seal materials are available on request.
*Other positions (4, 5, etc.) are available as specials. Contact your localBimba distributor for more information.

Bimba FMP Series Metric
The model number for all Metric Multiple Position FMP Flat-1 cylinders consists of three alphanumeric clusters.The first cluster designates type, the second cluster bore size and stroke lengths A and B, and the third clusterdesignates mounting and special options. Please refer to the charts below for an example of Model NumberFMP-1750/25-1V. This is a 38mm bore multiple position FMP Flat-1 with a 50mm stroke for position A, plus anadditional stroke of 25mm for position B, with a pivot mount on the rear head and high temperature option.

Metric Bimba Switches
Specifying Band SizeMany of the Bimba Solid State switches are band-mounted to the actuator. For all band-styleswitches, a pre-sized band is ordered by adding a bore size designation as the last two or threedigits of the basic switch model number. For example, the current sourcing Solid State Switchmodel for a 1-1/16” bore MRS cylinder would be HSC-09.

Inductive Proximity SensorIntroducing Bimba Inductive Proximity Sensors for use on Ultran products. Use it on the Ultran productline for end of stroke detection where inductive solid state sensing is preferred. Refer to the UltranProduct section of the AP catalog for mounting details. The sensor can also be used on other applications where inductive proximity sensing is required.
Add C to the end of the part number to include a 2M mating cable and add CX to the end of the part number toinclude a 5M cable. For Example: PCQC includes a 2M mating cable with Proximity Sensor.
