Without going out and dragging out a Bimba book in my library.....here¡¯s what I can tell ya.....
As long as it¡¯s a double acting, and has sufficient stroke, it should work.
¡®Original line¡¯ (I¡¯m guessing that¡¯s what it is) Bimba pneumatic cylinders have buna-n (Nitrile) seals, so are compatible with any mineral oil. DO NOT use brake fluid.?
If memory serves, they are rated at 250 psi, so don¡¯t exceed that pressure, although, we ran many at 280-300 PSI oil pressure.?
Nothing to convert. If it is an original line, they are non-repairable/rebuildable.?

They are good cylinders. We used many of them for controls on mining equipment. On a band saw, one should last longer than the saw.?
