    NFPA Tie Rod Air Cylinders

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Air Cylinders. NFPA Tie Rod Air Cylinders.
    Made to fit the most common mounting footprint, these cylinders have an NFPA (National Fluid Power Association) industry-standard footprint, ensuring easy interchangeability. They have a magnetic piston, so you can use sensors (sold separately) to activate relays and controllers.
    Connect mounts to an air cylinder to create linear, pivot, or arc movements. Mounts are compatible with NFPA tie rod air cylinders.
