NFPA Tie Rod Air Cylinders

Tie-rod cylinders are widely used in pneumatic applications and feature high strength, threaded steel rods and nuts to secure end caps to both ends of the cylinder barrel. These types of cylinders are not as complex in design as other cylinders and can be taken apart for service and repair. These cylinders also meet NFPA standards which allows them to be easily interchanged with cylinders from other manufacturers.

• Bore Sizes from 1-1/2" to 4"
• Stroke lengths from 1" to 32"
• Double-acting
• 250 psi max operating pressure
• Interchangeable with other popular brands of NFPA cylinders
• Flange, pivot and clevis cylinder mount options available
• These heavy duty cylinders are constructed with high quality aluminum components and a magnetic piston fitted with a PTFE Wear Band.
• The cylinders feature flush-mount sleeve nuts on the tie rods and are fitted with a PTFE coated cast iron bushing. This bearing ensures smooth rod motion while maintaining rod rigidity and stability.
• All D2-Series NFPA cylinders have a magnetic piston that can be used along with solid state or reed switches for rod position sensing.
• The solid state and reed switches sense the rod position by emitting an electrical signal when the magnetized piston reaches a point adjacent to their location.
• Tie rod mounting allows fast and accurate positioning setup.
• Cushioned cylinders are also available to provide end-of-stroke deceleration at both ends. The cushions decelerate the piston rod at the end-of-stroke and are adjustable with a flat head screwdriver.
• Proudly made in the USA
