Rule 105 Pneumatic Cylinders

[FRC63]

Rule 105 states that you must use pneumatic cylinders that are identical to the ones on the Pneumatic Components Order Form. The Pneumatic Components Order form also states to check the Bimba web site for available strokes in each bore size. Both the online Free Pneumatic Components Order Form and the online Bimba Product Catalog list more choices for stroke length than are listed on the printed order form from the Pneumatics Manual. Can you use a cylinder that is on the online order form or the product catalog but not on the printed order form in the Pneumatics Manual? For example: 1724-DP is available on the online order form but not listed in the printed manual...is it legal to use? As another example: 3118-DXP is listed as a standard cylinder on the Bimba website but is not listed on the printed pneumatic component order form...is it legal to use? In each case they are both legal types of cylinder but with strokes different from what is listed on the Pneumatic Components Order Form as printed in the Pneumatics Manual.

[GDC]

As specified in Rule <R105>, additional pistons "must be identical to those listed on the Pneumatic Components Order form (i.e. same part numbers)." Parts 1724-DP and 3118-DXP are not available on the Pneumatics Components Order Form, and therefore are not permitted.
