Roundline Stainless Steel Body Cylinders (inch)

Bimba originated the unitized, non-repairable style of this cylinder, which has become an industry standard. Our "Original Line" cylinders have earned a reputation as hardworking, long-lasting performers. We have the broadest product line available, with more bore sizes, mounting styles and options than any other company. And, we continually add new variations such as the PC Cylinder with plastic end caps, and the Non-Rotating Original Line cylinder with its unique square piston rod.
