Description
Stelron Bimba DS3-6-C Pneumatic Linear Slide Actuator Assembly w/ Sensor
The Stelron DS3-6-C is a pneumatic linear slide actuator assembly manufactured by Stelron Components of Mahwah, New Jersey. The assembly integrates a Bimba-style stainless steel round-body pneumatic cylinder mounted on a black anodized aluminum base rail, driving a precision linear carriage. A position sensor with a multi-pin circular connector is included, allowing the slide position to be monitored in automated control systems.

Applications
Pneumatic linear slide assemblies like the Stelron DS3-6-C are widely used in industrial automation and manufacturing for precise, repeatable linear motion. Common applications include pick-and-place systems, parts transfer, escapement mechanisms, clamping fixtures, and assembly line positioning stages. Stelron was a well-regarded U.S. manufacturer of pneumatic slide and transfer units, often integrated into custom automation cells and specialty machinery. The built-in cylinder and sensor arrangement simplifies integration — the slide, actuator, and position feedback are packaged as a single unit, reducing the engineering and mounting work compared to assembling separate components. These compact assemblies remain in active use in factory automation, semiconductor handling, and precision assembly equipment wherever a short-stroke pneumatic linear axis with position confirmation is needed.
This Stelron DS3-6-C Pneumatic Linear Slide Actuator Assembly was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. It has not been powered up or bench-tested at our facility. The assembly is in good used condition overall — the black anodized aluminum base and stainless steel cylinder body show normal wear consistent with industrial service. The sensor cable and multi-pin circular connector are intact, and the yellow-green pneumatic tubing and push-in fittings are present. Please review all photos for a detailed look at the unit's cosmetic condition, and contact us with any questions.
