Bimba offers a range of Quik-Flo® Needle Valves, allowing for controlled flow of both the air intake and exhaust through the same valve. A needle valve can control a double acting cylinder’s extension and retraction by controlling the volume of air entering the cylinder and the volume of air leaving the cylinder. For additional dimensional information, reference Quik-Flo® Flow Controls on pages 6 and 7. For example, reference FQP1 for QNV1 dimensions.

Application Checklist
The Bimba Ultran rodless cylinder provides one of the highest coupling strengths available. This means it can carry higher loads without causing the piston to uncouple from the carriage. Bimba also offers two magnetic coupling strength options (Gold and Silver) to suit a wide variety of applications. The Silver option uses two sets of magnets instead of three. (For 5/16" bore, four sets of magnets are used.)
Position Sensing Switches
The cutaway drawings above show how the Bimba magnetically-coupled Ultran rodless cylinder works. Three magnets are located on the carriage. Three matching magnets are on the piston. (For 5/16" bore, five magnets are used.) These magnets form a strong bond that holds the carriage and piston together. When the cylinder is actuated, the piston and carriage move back and forth as one unit.

(Pneumatic Actuators)
The Ultran rodless cylinder is prelubricated at the factory for extensive, maintenance-free operation. The life of the cylinder can be greatly lengthened by providing additional lubrication with an air line mist lubricator or direct introduction of oil to the cylinder every 100 linear miles of travel. Recommended oils are medium to heavy (20 to 30 weight). The carriage should also be lubricated every 100 linear miles with a high grade of bearing grease. Other types of prelubrication are available upon request. Guide shafts are self lubricating and require no external lubricants.

Bimba Ultran Slide Cylinder
Size/Application Considerations Each bore size of the Bimba Ultran Slide rodless cylinder has specific load carrying capabilities. These capabilities can be enhanced by ordering external shock absorbers. Shock absorbers will also increase cylinder life when used properly. Use the following procedures to determine the requirements for specific applications. NOTE: Exceeding the load can cause the carriage and piston to decouple. 1. Check side load or radial load requirements. Graph A, Side Load/Radial Load vs. Stroke Length, shows the maximum load the cylinder will support for a specific bore size and stroke length. 2. Check axial load requirements. Graph B, Axial Load vs. Moment Arm, shows the maximum load the cylinder will support for a specific bore size and stroke length. Use the illustrations and formulas beside the graph to determine the load on the Ultran Slide.
3. External Shock Absorbers. If your load requirements fall above the curve for the specific bore size, external shock absorbers may allow you to decelerate the load. Choose from Graphs M through DD - Velocity versus Load for Shock Absorbers, pages 69 - 71 for your bore size. 4. Maximum Velocity. If cylinder speed will exceed 20 in/sec or cycle rate will exceed 15 per minute, special application considerations may be required. Please consult your local distributor.

An Ultran Slide can withstand compound moments but the maximum allowable will be determined by the total percentage of the axial, radial and cross moments. The equation below will determine the compound moment percent based on the total moments. The compound moment percent must not be greater than 100. (If the compound moment percent is greater than 100, then the load and moments should be evaluated using the next larger Ultran Slide.)

80 PSI required to reach full stroke due to bumper compression. 1
2 Not available for 5/16" and 7/16" bores. 9/16" bore has fixed cushions, other sizes have adjustable cushions.
For use when application requirements dictate a non-parallel or floating interface with the ultran carriage to prevent binding between the ultran and external guiding systems. Refer to page 51 for angular, radial, and side float dimensions. 3
The 9/16" bore fixed cushion operates like an air spring. A small amount of air is trapped behind the piston to help slow it down. Since there is no air bleed-off, this air will remain trapped behind the piston until the cylinder is cycled. A minimum of 40 psi is needed to move the cylinder to full stroke. If air pressure is removed from the front side of the piston, the trapped air will act like a spring and move the piston away from the end cap about 3/16 of an inch. See left column for option combination availability and location.

The Ultran rodless cylinder is prelubricated at the factory for extensive, maintenance-free operation. The life of the cylinder can be greatly lengthened by providing additional lubrication with an air line mist lubricator or direct introduction of oil to the cylinder every 100 linear miles of travel. Recommended oils are medium to heavy. The carriage should also be lubricated every 100 linear miles with a high grade of bearing grease. Other types of prelubrication are available upon request.

Bimba Ultran Rodless Cylinder
Size/Application Considerations Each bore size for the Bimba Ultran rodless cylinder has specific load carrying capabilities. These capabilities can be enhanced by externally supporting the load or by ordering the internal cushion option or external shock absorbers. The load should always be guided and supported for optimum life. Cushions or shock absorbers will also increase cylinder life when used properly. Use the following procedures to determine the requirements for specific applications. NOTE: Exceeding the load can cause the carriage and piston to decouple.
erate the load without causing the carriage and piston to decouple.
1. Check radial load requirements. Graph C, Radial Load vs. Stroke Length, shows the maximum radial load the cylinder will support for a specific bore size and stroke length. If your radial load requirements fall above the curve, the load must be externally supported.
4. Maximum Velocity. If cylinder speed will exceed 20 in/sec or cycle rate will exceed 15 per minute, special application considerations may be required. Please consult your local distributor.
2. Check axial load requirements. Graph D, Axial Load vs. Moment Arm, shows the maximum axial load the cylinder will support for a specific bore size and moment arm length. If your axial load requirements fall above the curve for the specific bore size, the load must be externally supported.
Internal Cushions. From Graphs I through L, Velocity vs. Load for Cushions, choose the graph for your Ultran model and mounting position. If your velocity and load requirements fall above the curve for the specific bore size, you will need external shock absorbers to decelerate the load.
3. Check End-of-Stroke Velocity and Load Requirements. From Graphs E through H, Velocity vs. Load, choose the graph for your Ultran model and mounting position. If your velocity and load requirements fall above the curve for the specific bore size, you will need internal cushions or external shock absorbers to decel-
External Shock Absorbers. Choose from Graphs EE through RR (Pages 69-71), Velocity vs. Load for Shock Absorbers, for your bore size. Choose model LS, SS or HS based on your velocity and load.

The Base Model High Load Ultran Slide offers both axial and alternate port locations. The base unit comes with flush surface plugs installed in the top ports of the End Blocks unless the “Y” option is specified. This no charge option has the plugs installed in the End Block side ports.
The Bumper option does not add overall length to the cylinder. However, the unit will not go full stroke until the specified pressure in table above is applied to the cylinder. If full stroke is required at a pressure less than that specified above, the stroke adjustment option may be utilized in combination with the bumper option to obtain full stroke. i.e., If 5 inches of stroke is required at 40 psi, order a 5.5 inch stroke unit with the Stroke Adjustment Option and adjust the stroke down to 5 inches.

Engineering Specifications Lubrication All Bimba High Load Ultran Slide actuators are pre-lubricated internally and externally with our special bearing grade grease. The guide shafts are prelubricated with a lightweight oil. The cylinder’s life can be extended by providing additional lubrication with an air line mist lubricator and by lubricating the carriage every 100 miles with a high grade bearing grease. The guide shafts should be lubricated periodically with a lightweight oil. Do not over oil – there is an internal wick to retain the lightweight oil.

Use the following procedures to determine the requirements for specific applications. NOTE: Exceeding the recommended loads can result in improper cylinder function: piston/carriage decoupling, unacceptable deflections, etc.

The values shown in Table 1 are the maximum allowable loads for the load carrying system. To achieve these values, the base plate must be fully supported along its full length and the load must be equally distributed among all four bearings. For best results, your application analysis should determine maximum loading on each bearing. Do not exceed 20 in./sec. velocity or 15 cycle/minute cycle rate; the internal piston bearings will heat up and cause sluggish motion.

Position Sensing Switches
Side Load A load that is applied parallel to the base plate, but perpendicular to the direction of actuation. Depending on bore size, the maximum side load will be at least 20% less than the maximum radial loading capacity.
65
SKETCH A Application Checklist
In this loading condition, the maximum load carrying capability is 496 pounds per bearing. Only two bearings are used to calculate the load carrying capability of the 1-1/4" bore unit.
Multi-Axis Configurations
In this loading condition, the maximum radial load-carrying capability is 620 pounds per bearing. The maximum “pull-off” load in the same mounting condition is 248 pounds per bearing.
Transition Plates
A load applied perpendicular to both the base plate and to the direction of actuation. Load directed toward the base plate represents the maximum loading capacity of the system. Load directed away from the base plate reduces the system’s load rating to approximately 40% of maximum radial loading. This is what’s called the “pull-off” capacity.

Mc
An unbalanced radial or side load applied to the system. The center of the radial load must be outside the span of the guide shafts, or the center of the side load must be at some point other than the center of the guide shafts to cause a radial moment loading condition. Ma
Axial Moment Load (Ma) An axial (same as the direction of actuation) load applied to the system, where the center of the load is at some point other than the center of the guide shafts. The load must also be between the span of the guide shafts to be a pure axial moment loading condition.

Sketches C, D, and E demonstrate how a force is applied to a moment arm to produce the moments shown in Sketch B. Use the equations below to determine the actual moments created by your application. The results of each calculated moment should be compared to the maximums listed in the table. (If the actual moments are greater than the listed maximums, then the load and moments should be re-evaluated.) Radial Moment

A High Load Ultran Slide can withstand compound moments but the maximum allowable will be determined by the total percentage of the axial, radial and cross moments. The equation below will determine the compound moment percent based on the total moments. The compound moment percent must not be greater than 100. (If the compound moment percent is greater than 100, then the load and moments should be re-evaluated.)
Mcompound% = 100 x (

(1-1/4" Bore) DEFLECTION vs SPAN
If your application allows for greater deflections, refer to Graphs 2 and 3, “Deflection vs. Span”. Use the following steps to determine resultant loads or deflections pertinent to your application. 1. If you know the length (span) that the base plate will be supported, find that span on the X-Axis of the graph. From this point, go up to the approximate location that best represents your weight or load. Across to the left from this point where it intersects the Y-Axis identifies what deflection can be expected between the supported points. 2. If you know the maximum amount of deflection that your application can tolerate, find this deflection on the Y-Axis of the graph. Once you locate the desired deflection, go across to the approximate location that best represents your weight or load. Directly under this point on the X-Axis is the recommended span length. If your application combines radial and moment loads, or exceeds the deflections from Graphs 2 and 3, consult your authorized Bimba distributor to determine if the application is feasible.

Selecting the proper shock absorber model is accomplished using the shock absorber graph given for each Ultran bore. The intersection of the total energy per stroke "ET", and velocity at shock absorber contact "V", indicates the proper shock absorber model. ET is calculated by the equation given below using values determined for:

Bimba Shock Absorbers Flow Controls
Shock Absorbers High Load Ultran Cylinders In addition to the energy generated by the moving load, other external (propelling) forces must be considered to ensure the proper use of the shock absorber. See Table 3 (page 67) for maximum force information. Propelling forces are those forces generated by cylinder air pressure, springs, gravity, etc. Once the energy generated by these forces is determined, it must be added to the kinetic energy generated by the moving load to determine total energy (ET) to be absorbed by the shock (see example below).
Calculating Kinetic Energy When a load is being moved by the High Load Ultran, kinetic energy is generated. This energy must be absorbed either by the High Load Ultran or by some external device. If the energy is to be absorbed by the High Load Ultran, then the energy must not exceed 3.5 foot-pounds (42 inch-pounds). Kinetic energy is defined by the formula 1/2mV2, where m is the mass of the load being moved and V is the speed at which the load is moving upon impact.

Bimba Transition Plates Aluminum plates that couple Bimba actuators – Ultran ® rodless cylinders, Pneu-Turn ® rotary actuators, and Linear Thrusters – into a variety of multi-axis configurations.
The customer’s attachment reads a bar code on the product to determine the required paint scheme. The Ultran Slide Rodless Cylinder and Linear Thruster picks the item off the incoming conveyor and places it on the appropriate out-going one.
How to Choose a Transition Plate Page 93 shows how to build the Transition Plate model numbers. Choose the configuration (base product and coupled product) that best suits your application and turn to that section. It will describe the valid bore size combinations and provide basic dimensions, weights and prices for those Transition Plates. It will also show alignment of the products to help you determine the outside dimensions of your configuration, and provide information on the options you may need to include when ordering your actuators. Unless otherwise noted, all Transition Plates are designed for mounting hole center to center alignment.
Note: Actuators can be coupled together in the bore size combinations noted in each section. However, critical engineering specifications must be met for each specific application. In addition, for a precision positioning system, the deflection of the components should be compensated for by incorporating external adjustments into the system design. See page 105 and the engineering specifications for the individual actuators for more information. Or, complete the Application Checklist on page 130 and fax it to your Bimba distributor if you’d like us to size your application.

Bimba – Multi-Axis Configurations
Sizing a Multi-Axis Configuration General Comments: Selection of the actuators and the transition plates that connect them is the most important part of engineering a motion system. To begin the sizing of individual actuators into a complete motion system, you should begin at your attachment or item to move. As you select the type of Bimba product to use, be sure to reference the size and engineering data in this bulletin and in the individual product catalogs. We recommend the following method: 1. Determine the weight and center of gravity of your attachment or item to move. 2. Determine the best actuator to be connected to your attachment or item to create the desired movement. 3. Determine the size of the actuator by referencing the engineering data in this catalog and in the specific product catalog. Select the product by its load, moment, torque, and speed capability as compared to those required by your application. Remember to add in any loads, moments or torques created by any attached actuators. 4. Select the next actuator that will create movement you need. 5. Continue with steps 3 through 5 until all the motion requirements are satisfied. In the case of a precision positioning system, the deflection of the components should be compensated for by incorporating external adjustments into the system design.

Transition Plates
An Ultran Slide was chosen to move the Linear Thruster, vacuum gripper and product into position on an outgoing conveyor. The 3/4 inch bore Linear Thruster will be fastened to the center of the Ultran Slide carriage by means of a Transition Plate. The Ultran Slide must carry the load of the Transition Plate (0.20 lb.), Linear Thruster (2.82 lbs.), the gripper (1 lb.), and the product (5 lbs.) The total weight the Ultran Slide will move is 9.02 lbs. Comparing this to the maximum allowable radial loads for 16-inch stroke Ultran Slides, a 3/4 inch bore unit can carry approximately a 20-lb. load. The Linear Thruster is fully extended when it picks the product from the incoming conveyor, then retracts three inches before the Ultran begins to move toward an out-going conveyor. In this case, the dynamic side loading conditions on the Ultran Slide will be determined when the Linear Thruster has retracted three inches (see drawing on page 99). Since the Linear Thruster has retracted to half of its stroke length, the guide shafts are extending the same amount from each side of the Linear Thruster body. In this case there is no side load because of the guide rods. The actual side load created by the product, gripper, and Linear Thruster are found by rearranging and solving the equation found on page 45 and then comparing the result to the 20 lb. limit.
Pneu-Turn Rotary Actuators
To begin the sizing, we will start with the item that is to be moved. Each product weighs 5 lbs. and has flat surfaces that allow a vacuum gripper to grasp and lift it from the incoming conveyor. The center of gravity of the product is three inches from the grip surface and in the middle of the product width and height. The vacuum gripper weighs 1 lb. and has a center of gravity that is .75 inch from the tooling plate surface and in the middle of its width and height. The gripper is mounted on the center of the Linear Thruster tooling plate. A Linear Thruster with a six-inch stroke is chosen to move the product. The combined weight of the product and gripper is 6 lbs. Comparing the 6-lb. load to the maximum side load table for a standard Linear Thruster with a six-inch stroke, a 3/4 inch bore unit has the capability of 11.09 lbs. This should be sufficient to handle the 6 lb. load and take into account any light, unforeseen loads. Since the product and gripper will be centered on the tooling plate, there are no radial moments. The 3/4 inch bore Linear Thruster will be chosen as the coupled unit.
Linear Thrusters
An example of a motion system is shown on page 99 using an Ultran Slide rodless cylinder combined with a Linear Thruster by means of a Transition Plate. The application requires a product to be painted in one of two paint colors. The product coming down the conveyor is identified by a bar code which indicates the required paint color. The Linear Thruster extends to the end of its six inch stroke and picks the product by means of a vacuum system. The Linear Thruster retracts three inches before the Ultran Slide begins to move in the direction of one of the two outgoing conveyors. The slide must move eight inches in either direction from its center position to place the product on an outgoing conveyor which will send it to a specific paint booth.

50.25 lbs.
This side load is greater than the 20-lb. maximum for a side loading condition on a 3/4 bore Ultran Slide. The next larger Ultran Slide, 1-1/16" inch bore, has a side load capability of approximately 55 lbs. This Slide will be reviewed for the side load condition using the equation above. Side Load1-1/16 bore
=
42.48 lbs.
This side load is within the capability of an 1-1/16 inch bore Ultran Slide and this unit will be chosen as the base unit. Other considerations in choosing a model include: 1. The need for a Hall Effect switch that will signal a controller when the Linear Thruster has retracted three inches. Also, external bumpers will be used to soften the impact at end-of-stroke. 2. Hall Effect Switches will be used for end-of-stroke and mid-stroke signalling on the Ultran Slide rodless cylinder. 3. Dowel pins will be used with the Transition Plate.

Bimba Position Sensing Switches
The Switch Application Selection Guide provides information on which type of switch is suitable for a particular application.
Pneu Moment
(Pneumatic Actuators)
This is a two-wire device with wires directly connected to a reed switch. Specifications are valid for purely resistive loads only. Choosing a switch is governed by our published load current derating curves. These are derived from the switch contact rating, expressed in wattage. Bimba offers magnetic reed switches that can handle the current requirements of a wide variety of applications. In addition, models are available for track- or band-mounting, and many include an LED indicator light to show when switching occurs.
Shock Absorbers
Bimba Magnetic Reed Switch
Ultran Cylinders
All Bimba switches are designed to sense the magnet that is used in Bimba actuators that are ordered with the -M option. All are normally open switches that close when sensing the magnet. Switch models differ by actuator product lines. We also offer a variety of lead lengths and optional quick connect models. Refer to the Switch Selection Chart on page 109 to determine which switch models are available for your actuator. Then check for information on those models for more information on options, prices, specifications, circuit diagrams, etc.
Pneu-Turn Rotary Actuators
The switches perform the same function as conventional limit switches. They can be used as position indicators, cycle counters, or to confirm operation. They may also be used as safety devices by allowing for operation of secondary devices only when the actuator is properly positioned.
Linear Thrusters
Bimba offers Hall Effect, Magnetic Reed and Magnetic Reed/Triac-type switches to meet a wide variety of customer needs. Bimba actuators and switches provide a reliable, cost-effective interface between the pneumatically-powered functions of applications and the electrical controls. They eliminate costly, time-consuming design and fabrication of independent electrical limit switch arrangements, and provide an aesthetically pleasing installation.

MAGNETIC PISTON
101
Position Sensing Switches
Reed switches contain hermeticallysealed reeds, or contacts. When the magnet on the piston moves close to the switch, the reeds become magnetized and the normally open contacts will close or pull in. The resulting signal can be used to signal or control other operations in the system. When the magnet moves away from the piston, the contacts will open or drop out.
Multi-Axis Configurations
How it works:
Transition Plates
Magnetic Reed/Triac-type Switch This is a two-wire device recommended for high current AC loads. The reed switch senses the magnet and triggers the solid state triac that performs the actual current switching. The switch can handle up to 25A one-cycle surge to accommodate inductive kickback (current surge when an electrical device such as a solenoid coil is turned off) and inrush (current surge when a device is first turned on). Its operation is unreliable below 100mA load current. Maximum current is subject to ambient temperature. Models are available for track or band mounting.
Bimba Position Sensing Switches
Bimba Solid State Switch This is a three-wire, solid state device recommended for low current DC loads such as interfacing with a programmable controller. It provides compact, reliable sensing for virtually infinite life. An LED indicator light illuminates when switching occurs. Models are available in current sinking (NPN) and current sourcing (PNP) models. Either can be used for loads such as counters and solid state relays. Selection of sinking or sourcing models depends on the requirements of the programmable controller.

Application Checklist
The Bimba Ultran rodless cylinder provides one of the highest coupling strengths available. This means it can carry higher loads without causing the piston to uncouple from the carriage. Bimba also offers two magnetic coupling strength options (Gold and Silver) to suit a wide variety of applications. The Silver option uses two sets of magnets instead of three. (For 5/16" bore, four sets of magnets are used.)
Position Sensing Switches
The cutaway drawings above show how the Bimba magnetically-coupled Ultran rodless cylinder works. Three magnets are located on the carriage. Three matching magnets are on the piston. (For 5/16" bore, five magnets are used.) These magnets form a strong bond that holds the carriage and piston together. When the cylinder is actuated, the piston and carriage move back and forth as one unit.

(Pneumatic Actuators)
The Ultran rodless cylinder is prelubricated at the factory for extensive, maintenance-free operation. The life of the cylinder can be greatly lengthened by providing additional lubrication with an air line mist lubricator or direct introduction of oil to the cylinder every 100 linear miles of travel. Recommended oils are medium to heavy (20 to 30 weight). The carriage should also be lubricated every 100 linear miles with a high grade of bearing grease. Other types of prelubrication are available upon request. Guide shafts are self lubricating and require no external lubricants.

Bimba Ultran Slide Cylinder
Size/Application Considerations Each bore size of the Bimba Ultran Slide rodless cylinder has specific load carrying capabilities. These capabilities can be enhanced by ordering external shock absorbers. Shock absorbers will also increase cylinder life when used properly. Use the following procedures to determine the requirements for specific applications. NOTE: Exceeding the load can cause the carriage and piston to decouple. 1. Check side load or radial load requirements. Graph A, Side Load/Radial Load vs. Stroke Length, shows the maximum load the cylinder will support for a specific bore size and stroke length. 2. Check axial load requirements. Graph B, Axial Load vs. Moment Arm, shows the maximum load the cylinder will support for a specific bore size and stroke length. Use the illustrations and formulas beside the graph to determine the load on the Ultran Slide.
3. External Shock Absorbers. If your load requirements fall above the curve for the specific bore size, external shock absorbers may allow you to decelerate the load. Choose from Graphs M through DD - Velocity versus Load for Shock Absorbers, pages 69 - 71 for your bore size. 4. Maximum Velocity. If cylinder speed will exceed 20 in/sec or cycle rate will exceed 15 per minute, special application considerations may be required. Please consult your local distributor.

An Ultran Slide can withstand compound moments but the maximum allowable will be determined by the total percentage of the axial, radial and cross moments. The equation below will determine the compound moment percent based on the total moments. The compound moment percent must not be greater than 100. (If the compound moment percent is greater than 100, then the load and moments should be evaluated using the next larger Ultran Slide.)

80 PSI required to reach full stroke due to bumper compression. 1
2 Not available for 5/16" and 7/16" bores. 9/16" bore has fixed cushions, other sizes have adjustable cushions.
For use when application requirements dictate a non-parallel or floating interface with the ultran carriage to prevent binding between the ultran and external guiding systems. Refer to page 51 for angular, radial, and side float dimensions. 3
The 9/16" bore fixed cushion operates like an air spring. A small amount of air is trapped behind the piston to help slow it down. Since there is no air bleed-off, this air will remain trapped behind the piston until the cylinder is cycled. A minimum of 40 psi is needed to move the cylinder to full stroke. If air pressure is removed from the front side of the piston, the trapped air will act like a spring and move the piston away from the end cap about 3/16 of an inch. See left column for option combination availability and location.

(Pneumatic Actuators)
The Ultran rodless cylinder is prelubricated at the factory for extensive, maintenance-free operation. The life of the cylinder can be greatly lengthened by providing additional lubrication with an air line mist lubricator or direct introduction of oil to the cylinder every 100 linear miles of travel. Recommended oils are medium to heavy. The carriage should also be lubricated every 100 linear miles with a high grade of bearing grease. Other types of prelubrication are available upon request.

Bimba Ultran Rodless Cylinder
Size/Application Considerations Each bore size for the Bimba Ultran rodless cylinder has specific load carrying capabilities. These capabilities can be enhanced by externally supporting the load or by ordering the internal cushion option or external shock absorbers. The load should always be guided and supported for optimum life. Cushions or shock absorbers will also increase cylinder life when used properly. Use the following procedures to determine the requirements for specific applications. NOTE: Exceeding the load can cause the carriage and piston to decouple.
erate the load without causing the carriage and piston to decouple.
1. Check radial load requirements. Graph C, Radial Load vs. Stroke Length, shows the maximum radial load the cylinder will support for a specific bore size and stroke length. If your radial load requirements fall above the curve, the load must be externally supported.
4. Maximum Velocity. If cylinder speed will exceed 20 in/sec or cycle rate will exceed 15 per minute, special application considerations may be required. Please consult your local distributor.
2. Check axial load requirements. Graph D, Axial Load vs. Moment Arm, shows the maximum axial load the cylinder will support for a specific bore size and moment arm length. If your axial load requirements fall above the curve for the specific bore size, the load must be externally supported.
Internal Cushions. From Graphs I through L, Velocity vs. Load for Cushions, choose the graph for your Ultran model and mounting position. If your velocity and load requirements fall above the curve for the specific bore size, you will need external shock absorbers to decelerate the load.
3. Check End-of-Stroke Velocity and Load Requirements. From Graphs E through H, Velocity vs. Load, choose the graph for your Ultran model and mounting position. If your velocity and load requirements fall above the curve for the specific bore size, you will need internal cushions or external shock absorbers to decel-
External Shock Absorbers. Choose from Graphs EE through RR (Pages 69-71), Velocity vs. Load for Shock Absorbers, for your bore size. Choose model LS, SS or HS based on your velocity and load.

The Base Model High Load Ultran Slide offers both axial and alternate port locations. The base unit comes with flush surface plugs installed in the top ports of the End Blocks unless the “Y” option is specified. This no charge option has the plugs installed in the End Block side ports.
The Bumper option does not add overall length to the cylinder. However, the unit will not go full stroke until the specified pressure in table above is applied to the cylinder. If full stroke is required at a pressure less than that specified above, the stroke adjustment option may be utilized in combination with the bumper option to obtain full stroke. i.e., If 5 inches of stroke is required at 40 psi, order a 5.5 inch stroke unit with the Stroke Adjustment Option and adjust the stroke down to 5 inches.

Engineering Specifications Lubrication All Bimba High Load Ultran Slide actuators are pre-lubricated internally and externally with our special bearing grade grease. The guide shafts are prelubricated with a lightweight oil. The cylinder’s life can be extended by providing additional lubrication with an air line mist lubricator and by lubricating the carriage every 100 miles with a high grade bearing grease. The guide shafts should be lubricated periodically with a lightweight oil. Do not over oil – there is an internal wick to retain the lightweight oil.

The values shown in Table 1 are the maximum allowable loads for the load carrying system. To achieve these values, the base plate must be fully supported along its full length and the load must be equally distributed among all four bearings. For best results, your application analysis should determine maximum loading on each bearing. Do not exceed 20 in./sec. velocity or 15 cycle/minute cycle rate; the internal piston bearings will heat up and cause sluggish motion.

Position Sensing Switches
Side Load A load that is applied parallel to the base plate, but perpendicular to the direction of actuation. Depending on bore size, the maximum side load will be at least 20% less than the maximum radial loading capacity.
65
SKETCH A Application Checklist
In this loading condition, the maximum load carrying capability is 496 pounds per bearing. Only two bearings are used to calculate the load carrying capability of the 1-1/4" bore unit.
Multi-Axis Configurations
In this loading condition, the maximum radial load-carrying capability is 620 pounds per bearing. The maximum “pull-off” load in the same mounting condition is 248 pounds per bearing.
Transition Plates
A load applied perpendicular to both the base plate and to the direction of actuation. Load directed toward the base plate represents the maximum loading capacity of the system. Load directed away from the base plate reduces the system’s load rating to approximately 40% of maximum radial loading. This is what’s called the “pull-off” capacity.

A High Load Ultran Slide can withstand compound moments but the maximum allowable will be determined by the total percentage of the axial, radial and cross moments. The equation below will determine the compound moment percent based on the total moments. The compound moment percent must not be greater than 100. (If the compound moment percent is greater than 100, then the load and moments should be re-evaluated.)

(1-1/4" Bore) DEFLECTION vs SPAN
If your application allows for greater deflections, refer to Graphs 2 and 3, “Deflection vs. Span”. Use the following steps to determine resultant loads or deflections pertinent to your application. 1. If you know the length (span) that the base plate will be supported, find that span on the X-Axis of the graph. From this point, go up to the approximate location that best represents your weight or load. Across to the left from this point where it intersects the Y-Axis identifies what deflection can be expected between the supported points. 2. If you know the maximum amount of deflection that your application can tolerate, find this deflection on the Y-Axis of the graph. Once you locate the desired deflection, go across to the approximate location that best represents your weight or load. Directly under this point on the X-Axis is the recommended span length. If your application combines radial and moment loads, or exceeds the deflections from Graphs 2 and 3, consult your authorized Bimba distributor to determine if the application is feasible.

How to Size a Shock Absorber
ET (Total energy) equals the sum of EK (Kinetic energy) and EW (Work energy) Note the Work energy calculation varies with mounting position, EWH Horizontal, or E W V Vertical. 2
EK = ((WU + UF2) / 772) x V ......................................................(Kinetic energy, in-lbs) EWH = UF1 x SF x P ............................................(Work energy, in-lbs) HORIZONTAL EW V = ((UF1 x P) + WU + UF2) x SF ...........................(Work energy, in-lbs) VERTICAL

Shock Absorbers
Selecting the proper shock absorber model is accomplished using the shock absorber graph given for each Ultran bore. The intersection of the total energy per stroke "ET", and velocity at shock absorber contact "V", indicates the proper shock absorber model. ET is calculated by the equation given below using values determined for:
= = = =
0.410 0.442 1.565 (15 lbs + 1.565) / 772) x (20 in/sec)2 .....................................................................................EK = 8.56 in-lbs
E WV

((0.442 x 80 PSI) + 15 lbs + 1.565 x 0.410 ........................................................................E W V = 21.29 in-lbs
ET
=
EK + E W V = 29.85 in-lbs ........................................................................... ETC = ET x C = 107,457 in-lbs/hr
Checking specifications chart: both ET and ETC are less than maximum. And per sizing graph for a model UGS-04: 21.29 in-lbs total energy at 20 in/sec velocity, use a heavy duty model HS-04 shock absorbers.

Bimba Shock Absorbers Flow Controls
Shock Absorbers High Load Ultran Cylinders In addition to the energy generated by the moving load, other external (propelling) forces must be considered to ensure the proper use of the shock absorber. See Table 3 (page 67) for maximum force information. Propelling forces are those forces generated by cylinder air pressure, springs, gravity, etc. Once the energy generated by these forces is determined, it must be added to the kinetic energy generated by the moving load to determine total energy (ET) to be absorbed by the shock (see example below).
Calculating Kinetic Energy When a load is being moved by the High Load Ultran, kinetic energy is generated. This energy must be absorbed either by the High Load Ultran or by some external device. If the energy is to be absorbed by the High Load Ultran, then the energy must not exceed 3.5 foot-pounds (42 inch-pounds). Kinetic energy is defined by the formula 1/2mV2, where m is the mass of the load being moved and V is the speed at which the load is moving upon impact.

Shock Absorbers can be used to decelerate loads or to absorb excess Kinetic Energy.

(Pneumatic Actuators)
Operating a UHL-17 at 60 psi in a horizontal application, carrying a 100-pound load at 10 inches per second end-of-stroke velocity, the total energy, ET, is determined as follows.
Shock Absorbers
For Example (Total Energy):
Ultran Cylinders
The shock absorber offered for the High Load Ultran Slide is adjustable. This means that the shock absorber is capable of decelerating loads over a range of velocities. Use Graph 5 to determine the appropriate setting for your application. Some adjustment to this setting may be required to achieve the desired deceleration rate. Table 3 shows the shock absorber ratings.

Bimba Transition Plates Aluminum plates that couple Bimba actuators – Ultran ® rodless cylinders, Pneu-Turn ® rotary actuators, and Linear Thrusters – into a variety of multi-axis configurations.
The customer’s attachment reads a bar code on the product to determine the required paint scheme. The Ultran Slide Rodless Cylinder and Linear Thruster picks the item off the incoming conveyor and places it on the appropriate out-going one.
How to Choose a Transition Plate Page 93 shows how to build the Transition Plate model numbers. Choose the configuration (base product and coupled product) that best suits your application and turn to that section. It will describe the valid bore size combinations and provide basic dimensions, weights and prices for those Transition Plates. It will also show alignment of the products to help you determine the outside dimensions of your configuration, and provide information on the options you may need to include when ordering your actuators. Unless otherwise noted, all Transition Plates are designed for mounting hole center to center alignment.
Note: Actuators can be coupled together in the bore size combinations noted in each section. However, critical engineering specifications must be met for each specific application. In addition, for a precision positioning system, the deflection of the components should be compensated for by incorporating external adjustments into the system design. See page 105 and the engineering specifications for the individual actuators for more information. Or, complete the Application Checklist on page 130 and fax it to your Bimba distributor if you’d like us to size your application.

Bimba – Multi-Axis Configurations
Sizing a Multi-Axis Configuration General Comments: Selection of the actuators and the transition plates that connect them is the most important part of engineering a motion system. To begin the sizing of individual actuators into a complete motion system, you should begin at your attachment or item to move. As you select the type of Bimba product to use, be sure to reference the size and engineering data in this bulletin and in the individual product catalogs. We recommend the following method: 1. Determine the weight and center of gravity of your attachment or item to move. 2. Determine the best actuator to be connected to your attachment or item to create the desired movement. 3. Determine the size of the actuator by referencing the engineering data in this catalog and in the specific product catalog. Select the product by its load, moment, torque, and speed capability as compared to those required by your application. Remember to add in any loads, moments or torques created by any attached actuators. 4. Select the next actuator that will create movement you need. 5. Continue with steps 3 through 5 until all the motion requirements are satisfied. In the case of a precision positioning system, the deflection of the components should be compensated for by incorporating external adjustments into the system design.

(Pneumatic Actuators)
Transition Plates
An Ultran Slide was chosen to move the Linear Thruster, vacuum gripper and product into position on an outgoing conveyor. The 3/4 inch bore Linear Thruster will be fastened to the center of the Ultran Slide carriage by means of a Transition Plate. The Ultran Slide must carry the load of the Transition Plate (0.20 lb.), Linear Thruster (2.82 lbs.), the gripper (1 lb.), and the product (5 lbs.) The total weight the Ultran Slide will move is 9.02 lbs. Comparing this to the maximum allowable radial loads for 16-inch stroke Ultran Slides, a 3/4 inch bore unit can carry approximately a 20-lb. load. The Linear Thruster is fully extended when it picks the product from the incoming conveyor, then retracts three inches before the Ultran begins to move toward an out-going conveyor. In this case, the dynamic side loading conditions on the Ultran Slide will be determined when the Linear Thruster has retracted three inches (see drawing on page 99). Since the Linear Thruster has retracted to half of its stroke length, the guide shafts are extending the same amount from each side of the Linear Thruster body. In this case there is no side load because of the guide rods. The actual side load created by the product, gripper, and Linear Thruster are found by rearranging and solving the equation found on page 45 and then comparing the result to the 20 lb. limit.
Pneu-Turn Rotary Actuators
To begin the sizing, we will start with the item that is to be moved. Each product weighs 5 lbs. and has flat surfaces that allow a vacuum gripper to grasp and lift it from the incoming conveyor. The center of gravity of the product is three inches from the grip surface and in the middle of the product width and height. The vacuum gripper weighs 1 lb. and has a center of gravity that is .75 inch from the tooling plate surface and in the middle of its width and height. The gripper is mounted on the center of the Linear Thruster tooling plate. A Linear Thruster with a six-inch stroke is chosen to move the product. The combined weight of the product and gripper is 6 lbs. Comparing the 6-lb. load to the maximum side load table for a standard Linear Thruster with a six-inch stroke, a 3/4 inch bore unit has the capability of 11.09 lbs. This should be sufficient to handle the 6 lb. load and take into account any light, unforeseen loads. Since the product and gripper will be centered on the tooling plate, there are no radial moments. The 3/4 inch bore Linear Thruster will be chosen as the coupled unit.
Linear Thrusters
An example of a motion system is shown on page 99 using an Ultran Slide rodless cylinder combined with a Linear Thruster by means of a Transition Plate. The application requires a product to be painted in one of two paint colors. The product coming down the conveyor is identified by a bar code which indicates the required paint color. The Linear Thruster extends to the end of its six inch stroke and picks the product by means of a vacuum system. The Linear Thruster retracts three inches before the Ultran Slide begins to move in the direction of one of the two outgoing conveyors. The slide must move eight inches in either direction from its center position to place the product on an outgoing conveyor which will send it to a specific paint booth.

50.25 lbs.
This side load is greater than the 20-lb. maximum for a side loading condition on a 3/4 bore Ultran Slide. The next larger Ultran Slide, 1-1/16" inch bore, has a side load capability of approximately 55 lbs. This Slide will be reviewed for the side load condition using the equation above. Side Load1-1/16 bore
=
42.48 lbs.
This side load is within the capability of an 1-1/16 inch bore Ultran Slide and this unit will be chosen as the base unit. Other considerations in choosing a model include: 1. The need for a Hall Effect switch that will signal a controller when the Linear Thruster has retracted three inches. Also, external bumpers will be used to soften the impact at end-of-stroke. 2. Hall Effect Switches will be used for end-of-stroke and mid-stroke signalling on the Ultran Slide rodless cylinder. 3. Dowel pins will be used with the Transition Plate.

Bimba Position Sensing Switches
The Switch Application Selection Guide provides information on which type of switch is suitable for a particular application.
Pneu Moment
(Pneumatic Actuators)
This is a two-wire device with wires directly connected to a reed switch. Specifications are valid for purely resistive loads only. Choosing a switch is governed by our published load current derating curves. These are derived from the switch contact rating, expressed in wattage. Bimba offers magnetic reed switches that can handle the current requirements of a wide variety of applications. In addition, models are available for track- or band-mounting, and many include an LED indicator light to show when switching occurs.
Shock Absorbers
Bimba Magnetic Reed Switch
Ultran Cylinders
All Bimba switches are designed to sense the magnet that is used in Bimba actuators that are ordered with the -M option. All are normally open switches that close when sensing the magnet. Switch models differ by actuator product lines. We also offer a variety of lead lengths and optional quick connect models. Refer to the Switch Selection Chart on page 109 to determine which switch models are available for your actuator. Then check for information on those models for more information on options, prices, specifications, circuit diagrams, etc.
Pneu-Turn Rotary Actuators
The switches perform the same function as conventional limit switches. They can be used as position indicators, cycle counters, or to confirm operation. They may also be used as safety devices by allowing for operation of secondary devices only when the actuator is properly positioned.
Linear Thrusters
Bimba offers Hall Effect, Magnetic Reed and Magnetic Reed/Triac-type switches to meet a wide variety of customer needs. Bimba actuators and switches provide a reliable, cost-effective interface between the pneumatically-powered functions of applications and the electrical controls. They eliminate costly, time-consuming design and fabrication of independent electrical limit switch arrangements, and provide an aesthetically pleasing installation.

MAGNETIC PISTON
101
Position Sensing Switches
Reed switches contain hermeticallysealed reeds, or contacts. When the magnet on the piston moves close to the switch, the reeds become magnetized and the normally open contacts will close or pull in. The resulting signal can be used to signal or control other operations in the system. When the magnet moves away from the piston, the contacts will open or drop out.
Multi-Axis Configurations
How it works:
Transition Plates
Magnetic Reed/Triac-type Switch This is a two-wire device recommended for high current AC loads. The reed switch senses the magnet and triggers the solid state triac that performs the actual current switching. The switch can handle up to 25A one-cycle surge to accommodate inductive kickback (current surge when an electrical device such as a solenoid coil is turned off) and inrush (current surge when a device is first turned on). Its operation is unreliable below 100mA load current. Maximum current is subject to ambient temperature. Models are available for track or band mounting.
Bimba Position Sensing Switches
Bimba Solid State Switch This is a three-wire, solid state device recommended for low current DC loads such as interfacing with a programmable controller. It provides compact, reliable sensing for virtually infinite life. An LED indicator light illuminates when switching occurs. Models are available in current sinking (NPN) and current sourcing (PNP) models. Either can be used for loads such as counters and solid state relays. Selection of sinking or sourcing models depends on the requirements of the programmable controller.
How How itit works: works: The Bimba Solid State Switch is is based on through giant magnetoresistive first below developed In operation, a constant current passed the Hall sensor.(GMR) Whentechnology, the magnetwhich is notwas directly the in 1988. includes 4 Solid resistorsis (2 active, 2 shielded), eachthe of which has many thin number layers ofofmagnetorsistive sensor,It the current (flow State of electrons) evenly distributed across chip.

Sinking vs. Sourcing Typical Solid State Sinking Configuration (NPN)
Bimba offers both sinking and sourcing Solid State Switch models.
SINKING SWITCH
Sinking switches are applied to the negative side of a load. When the switch is activated, the negative (ground) is connected, completing the circuit.

The model needed will be determined by a number of factors, including: • Company standards. • PLC input cards. (You may have sinking input cards available or your PLC only has a sinking type. Be aware that for some PLC manufacturers, sourcing input cards require a sinking switch or sinking input cards require a sourcing switch; check the specifications to clarify.)
