Full Product Description:
Bimba USS-1226-A2B1T — Ultran Slide Rodless Cylinder
The Bimba USS-1226-A2B1T is a self-guided, magnetically coupled rodless slide cylinder from Bimba’s Ultran Slide (USS) series — engineered for precise, space-efficient linear motion in demanding industrial automation applications. With a 1-1/4″ bore, 26″ stroke, and built-in guide rods, this actuator handles side and moment loads that conventional rodless cylinders cannot, making it ideal for direct load carrying without external guidance systems.
This unit comes fully equipped with a Switch Track for sensor mounting, Bumpers on End 1 for quiet, cushioned end-of-stroke stopping, and Stroke Adjustment on End 2 for fine-tuning travel length in the field.

Key Features
- Built-in guide rods — self-guided motion handles side and moment loads without external support
- Silver magnetic coupling — strong carriage-to-piston bond for reliable load transfer
- ~50% space savings vs. conventional rod cylinder designs
- Switch Track (T) — integrated rail for mounting position sensors at any point along stroke
- Bumpers on End 1 (B1) — reduces noise and impact at end of stroke
- Stroke Adjustment on End 2 (A2) — field-adjustable travel limit without disassembly
- Stainless steel 304 body — corrosion-resistant for harsh or washdown environments
- Factory pre-lubricated — extended service life; compatible with in-line mist lubricator
- Double-acting — powered in both directions; works with air or hydraulic fluid up to 100 PSI
Typical Applications
Parts transfer and feeding, pick-and-place automation, packaging machinery, door and gate actuation, cutting and clamping, material handling, conveyor diverting
