Manufacturing is the process of converting raw materials, components, or parts into finished goods that meet a customer’s expectations or specifications. The Knotts Company represents a large variety of vendors who make this process more efficient and cost-effective. Each one of our vendors is consistently innovating their products to help you exceed your customers expectations.
Bimba:
Design Features:
- Space Saving and Miniaturization: Cylinders such as our Flat 1 product line were designed specifically to address the demand for a lower profile actuator. Even so, the market for space savings often demands more than our standard Flat 1 products offer. From our 3/16″ bore cube cylinder (1/2″ cube shape) to multi-bore manifolds to our diaphragm cylinders, Bimba has provided some of the most unique actuators and solutions in the industry.
- Performance Improvements: When performance from a standard actuator is not adequate for your application, call on Bimba’s special design capabilities. Our custom designs have produced faster speeds, smoother actuation, and greater force, and have adapted to higher air pressure (over 600 psi), expanded temperature ranges (over 500° F), and specialized environments, including cleanroom applications.
Product Types:
- Actuators: The original Bimba cylinder design, affectionately called the “Original Line” by the industry, is a non-repairable, roundline cylinder design that has become an industry standard, introduced as an alternative to tie rod cylinders to eliminate costly downtime associated with cylinder repair. Throughout its 50 year history, Bimba has provided actuator solutions for customers who need a level of performance or dimensional modification in order to optimize their application. In this section, are a number of our more unique solutions, but don’t let that limit you. With hundreds of thousands of actuator designs in our library, there are countless designs both new and old just waiting to help your application.
