Choosing the Right ISO Pneumatic Cylinder
Selecting the correct pneumatic cylinder is critical for performance, cost-efficiency, and system compatibility. At Cylome, we specialize in fast-matching ISO-standard cylinders—including ISO 6432, ISO 15552, ISO 21287, and ISO 6430—to your exact application parameters.
Key Parameters to Consider
- Bore Size: Determines force output; common sizes range from 16mm to 100mm.
- Stroke Length: Defines linear travel distance; affects overall actuator length.
- Mounting Style: Options include flange, foot, or trunnion mounts per ISO standards.
- Operating Environment: Stainless steel (e.g., ISO 6432) for corrosive settings; standard aluminum for general use.
Why ISO Standards Matter
ISO-compliant cylinders ensure interchangeability with major brands like Festo and SMC—without the premium price. Cylome’s catalog covers full ISO families, enabling direct replacements that maintain system integrity while reducing costs by up to 30%.
