We Make Things Move®
When Charlie Bimba invented the Original Line® non-repairable air cylinder in 1957, he rocked the entire motion control industry. He presented the world with the first inexpensive, easy to replace solution for pneumatic actuation and quickly found a place at the center of the manufacturing field. ![](//djqq0xq3q4j4b.cloudfront.net/media/2973/charlie_bimba_napkin.jpg)
Since introducing the Original Line more than 50 years ago, we have expanded our breadth and depth far beyond these standard cylinders with tens of thousands of off-the-shelf and custom solutions. Today, we are dedicated to moving motion control forward, one application at a time.
Whether it’s a standard off-the-shelf cylinder or a cutting-edge custom assembly, we are uniquely positioned to help you take control of any motion control application — that means everything from simple, non-repairable products to the latest in precision mechatronics. If you’ve got an engineering challenge, we have the solution; it’s what we’ve been doing since 1957.
