NFPA Hydraulic & Pneumatic Cylinders

Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders should meet the standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for use in potentially explosive settings. Specific rules for the design and construction of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders have been established by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to protect the safety of anyone working with or close to hazardous liquids and gases.

NFPA Hydraulic Cylinders

An NFPA Cylinder is a type of cylinder that conforms to the NFPA standard for dimensional interchangeability and better protection. NFPA cylinders have several unique features, such as:

NFPA Pneumatic Cylinders

Pneumatic cylinders that meet NFPA standards are also available. These cylinders have many of the same features as NFPA hydraulic cylinders

In addition, NFPA pneumatic cylinders also feature the following:

Both NFPA hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic cylinders are available in various sizes and configurations to suit your specific application needs.

Pneumatic Hydraulic Cylinder

A pneumatic hydraulic cylinder, or NFPA cylinder, is an actuator used in industrial and manufacturing settings. Its primary function is to convert the compressed air energy supplied to it into mechanical force to move a load.

The NFPA cylinder standards design includes a piston inside a cylindrical tube, which moves back and forth within the tube as pressurized air is applied. This movement can be controlled by valves, allowing for precise load manipulation.

NFPA cylinder standards come in different sizes and types, including single-acting cylinders that use pressurized air to push the piston in one direction and double-acting cylinders that use pressurized air to move the piston forward and backward. Overall, NFPA cylinders provide reliable and efficient operation for various industrial functions.
