Bimba M-0410-DPY vs SWZHAI 16mm Air Cylinder: Which Double-Acting Cylinder Fits the Job?

Compare the $39.99 Bimba M-0410-DPY 3/4-inch bore 10-inch stroke double-acting cylinder with the $24.37 SWZHAI 16mm bore 50mm stroke mini cylinder, looking at size, included hardware, and the right use case.

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

Quick verdict

Pick the Bimba M-0410-DPY when you need a full 10-inch stroke in a 3/4-inch bore package and want a new open-box unit with a US origin. Pick the SWZHAI 16mm mini cylinder when you want a compact double-acting cylinder and want the Y connector and four pneumatic quick fittings in the same box.

Where each product wins

The Bimba M-0410-DPY is the pick when the work envelope is large enough for a 10-inch stroke. The longer travel distance separates it from the SWZHAI's 50mm stroke, and the single-rod double-acting design is straightforward for push-and-pull applications. The main caveat is the open-box condition.

The SWZHAI 16mm mini cylinder is the tighter fit for a compact setup. Its 16mm bore and 50mm stroke take up much less space, and the included Y connector and four quick fittings are part of the package. The obvious limitation is that its stroke is much shorter than the Bimba's.

Product notes

Bimba M-0410-DPY Double Acting Pneumatic Air Cylinder (3/4-inch Bore, 10-inch Stroke)

Bimba M-0410-DPY Double Acting Pneumatic Air Cylinder 3/4" Bore 10" Stroke New

The Bimba M-0410-DPY is a single-rod, double-acting pneumatic air cylinder with a 3/4-inch bore and a 10-inch stroke. That long stroke is the reason to choose it: it gives the rod a long linear travel path for moving parts or actuating mechanisms. The country of origin is listed as the United States, and the condition is new open box. The caveat is that the product description says it is new without original packaging, so if retail packaging matters to you, that is the trade-off.

SWZHAI 16mm Bore 50mm Stroke Mini Air Cylinder

Air Cylinder 16mm Bore 50mm Stroke, Mini Air Pneumatic Cylinder Double Action Si

The SWZHAI is a compact double-acting air cylinder with a 16mm bore and 50mm stroke, finished in red. The package includes one cylinder, one Y connector, and four pneumatic quick fittings, which is a clear reason to consider it for a small pneumatic rig. The description also mentions a bidirectional sealing structure intended to reduce air leakage. The limitation is the short stroke: at 50mm, it offers far less travel than the Bimba M-0410-DPY, so it only works where the rod does not need to move far.

Final choice by use case

Choose the Bimba M-0410-DPY when you need a long 10-inch stroke and a 3/4-inch bore in a double-acting cylinder. Its open-box condition and larger size suit projects with room for a longer push or pull. Choose the SWZHAI 16mm mini cylinder when your space is tight and 50mm of travel is enough. The included Y connector and quick fittings are already in the box.
