Technical Advantages

NFPA Series

The high-strength aluminum alloy tube has a 60 Rc hard-coated inner diameter, and its hard coating actually impregnates the base aluminum.
The solid aluminum alloy piston is strong, lightweight and carries a wide graphite-filled PTFE wear band to support maximum load conditions.
Oversized nonmetallic composite rod bearing provides maximum load support and good wear resistance.
The ground and polished hard chrome plated steel piston rod maximizes cycle life for the bushing and seals.
The cushion comes with a flush, retained adjustment needle and a seal that allows quick full flow to the entire piston surface for instant stroke reversal.
Tie rods are made from 100,000 psi minimum yield steel for maximum holding power.
The port design allows full flow for optimal cylinder operation.
Magnalube-G Teflon-impregnated grease provides a long operating life and lubricates across a wide temperature range.

OEM-NFPA FCQN Series

The cylinders are available with a wide range of NFPA interchangeable mounting configurations.
Cylinder tubes feature hard-anodized aluminum construction to resist corrosion and exhibit low internal friction.
Magnalube-G Teflon-impregnated grease provides a long operating life and lubricates across a wide temperature range.
