FAQ'S
1. What is an ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinder?
An ISO 15552 cylinder is a standardised pneumatic actuator designed for industrial use, with mounting dimensions and stroke lengths that conform to international ISO specifications. It offers full interchangeability with other ISO 15552-compliant cylinders, regardless of the manufacturer.
2. What applications are ISO 15552 cylinders suitable for?
These cylinders are commonly used in automated manufacturing, packaging machinery, material handling, automotive assembly, and other medium- to heavy-duty environments where durability and consistent force are required.
3. What sizes are available in ISO 15552 cylinders?
They typically come in bore sizes from 32 mm up to 320 mm, with a wide range of stroke lengths available to match the specific needs of your application.
4. How does ISO 15552 differ from ISO 6431?
ISO 15552 is the modern replacement for ISO 6431. It includes improved dimensional tolerances and more refined specifications, while maintaining backward compatibility with ISO 6431 cylinders and mounting accessories.
5. Can ISO 15552 cylinders be customised?
Yes. While ISO 15552 defines the external dimensions for standardisation, manufacturers like Emerson often offer custom stroke lengths, seals, materials, and sensor compatibility to meet specific application needs.
