In demanding industrial applications, reliability is everything. From manufacturing and automation to steel mills, material handling, and heavy equipment, hydraulic and pneumatic systems rely on cylinders that can perform consistently under pressure. That is where NFPA cylinders from Sheffer stand apart.
Sheffer Corporation designs and manufactures high-quality NFPA cylinders engineered for durability, precision, and long service life. Whether your application requires standard configurations or highly customized tie rod cylinder solutions, Sheffer delivers dependable performance backed by decades of engineering expertise.
NFPA cylinders are hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders built to standards established by the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA). These standards ensure dimensional interchangeability between manufacturers, making maintenance, replacement, and system integration significantly easier.
NFPA cylinders are commonly used in:
By following NFPA mounting and dimensional standards, businesses can reduce downtime and simplify equipment maintenance without sacrificing performance.
Ultimate Cylinder Design Checklist
Sheffer NFPA cylinders are engineered to withstand demanding operating conditions. Precision machining, quality materials, and robust sealing systems help maximize cylinder life while minimizing maintenance requirements.
Every application demands smooth operation and consistent force output. Sheffer cylinders are built for high performance in both hydraulic and pneumatic applications, delivering reliable motion control across a wide range of industries.
Because Sheffer NFPA cylinders are manufactured to NFPA standards, they can integrate seamlessly into existing systems while simplifying replacement and service processes.
Not every application fits a catalog solution. Sheffer specializes in custom tie rod cylinders designed around unique operational requirements, helping customers improve efficiency, performance, and equipment longevity.
Standard cylinders work well for many applications, but specialized environments often require more tailored solutions. That is where Sheffer’s custom tie rod cylinder capabilities become a major advantage.
Tie rod cylinders use high-strength steel rods to secure the end caps to the cylinder barrel, creating a rugged and serviceable design ideal for industrial applications. Sheffer can customize nearly every aspect of the cylinder to meet specific operational requirements.
Custom options may include:
