NFPA and JIC standards in hydraulic cylinders: what they mean for buyers
NFPA and JIC are dimensional standards that define mounting and connection dimensions for hydraulic cylinders, ensuring compatibility and interchangeability between components from different manufacturers. Our COL (70 bar) and COP (210 bar) series are built to these standard dimensions, making integration into your systems easier.
What NFPA and JIC are
- NFPA (National Fluid Power Association): a dimensional standard for hydraulic cylinders, now a widely used international reference
- JIC (Joint Industry Conference): a standard for threaded fittings and connections
- They allow components to be replaced or integrated without redesigning the system
Where they apply in our cylinders
The COL and COP series are built to NFPA/JIC standard dimensions, and combine with the other configuration options available (bore sizes, mounting, cushioning).
