This International Standard establishes a metric series of single-rod pneumatic short‑stroke cylinders with bores from 20 mm to 100 mm (inclusive) for use at maximum working pressure of 1 000 kPa [10 bar 1)] with and without magnetic function. They are not equipped with adjustable cushioning, so their application is restricted to those systems where adjustable cushioning is not required.

Overview
ISO 15524:2011 specifies a metric series of single-rod short‑stroke pneumatic cylinders designed for a maximum working pressure of 1 000 kPa (10 bar). The standard covers cylinders with bores from 20 mm to 100 mm (20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100 mm), with and without magnetic function. These short‑stroke cylinders are not equipped with adjustable cushioning, so they are intended for applications where adjustable end‑of‑stroke cushioning is not required. Example ordering format: Short-stroke cylinder ISO 15524 – MB 1 – 40×30.
Key topics and requirements
- Bore sizes: Defines the included bore diameters (20–100 mm) in accordance with ISO 3320.
- Maximum working pressure: Rated for 1 000 kPa (10 bar).
- Nominal stroke: Stroke selections follow ISO 4393; maximum stroke length should not exceed 100 mm. Nominal stroke tolerances are specified.
- Dimensions & mounting: Basic dimensional requirements, mounting reference points and mounting types are defined to ensure interchangeability:
- MB 1 - Body, through bolt hole
- MX 8 - Head and cap, tapped
- MX 9 - Body, through two bolt holes and both ends tapped
- Identification & ordering: Provides standard ordering designation and the recommended identification statement for documentation.
- Scope exclusions: Cylinders in this series are not fitted with adjustable cushioning - important for system design constraints.
- Terminology & references: Uses vocabulary from ISO 5598 and references ISO 16030 (ports), ISO 6099 (mounting codes), ISO 3320 and ISO 4393.
Applications and users
Practical uses of ISO 15524 short‑stroke cylinders include:
- Machine builders and OEMs specifying compact actuators for packaging, material handling, assembly and pick‑and‑place operations.
- Pneumatic system designers and engineers creating layouts that require standard dimensional interchangeability at up to 10 bar.
- Component manufacturers producing cylinders to a common metric series for global compatibility.
- Procurement, quality and testing labs ensuring product documentation and test reports reference a recognized international standard.
Who benefits:
- Mechanical designers, automation integrators, maintenance teams and purchasing specialists seeking reliable, standardized cylinder dimensions and mounting options.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

Introduction
In pneumatic fluid power systems, power is transmitted and controlled through a gas under pressure within a
circuit.
One component of such systems is the pneumatic fluid power cylinder. This is a device that converts power
into linear mechanical force and motion. It consists of a movable element, i.e. a piston and piston rod, operating
within a cylindrical bore.
