APRIL NEW PRODUCTS

Bimba exists to provide cutting-edge solutions to engineering challenges. While some other companies will walk away when off-the-shelf products don’t meet customer needs, Bimba will do whatever it takes to develop a solution. Nearly half of their business consists of these custom and semi-custom products designed for specific customers with unique applications.

Air-Powered Hydraulic Rate Control

A bus manufacturer desired a cylinder that could open and close bus doors using a remote control device, powered by an air compressor. Bimba developed a compact rate control cylinder that provided an air-driven, hydraulically controlled stainless steel body cylinder allowing for automatic and manual door opening.

Solution Shop applications are published every week by Bimba. These applications can also be found on their website, www.bimba.com/solutionsshop/
