Interchangeable pneumatic cylinders

Reduce downtime, increase flexibility, and simplify maintenance with NFPA & ISO-compliant cylinders

The National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) have established standards to simplify cylinder replacement, improve mounting compatibility, and ensure seamless integration with existing designs. These standards make equipment modifications and replacements faster and more efficient, reducing downtime and complexity for machine builders and end users.

What are NFPA and ISO standards?

NFPA and ISO standards streamline cylinder replacement and equipment modifications, making maintenance fast and hassle-free. While NFPA is primarily used in North America, ISO serves the global market. These standards ensure that OEMs and end users can easily find replacements with the same form, fit, and function as the original, minimizing downtime and compatibility issues.

Making the right choice

Interchangeable pneumatic cylinders offer the ideal combination of cost-efficiency, convenience, and performance for industrial applications. Their standardized design simplifies sourcing and replacement, minimizing downtime and maintenance expenses.
