Collection: EMC Series XLE ISO 15552 Pneumatic Cylinders

Technical information & FAQs

EMC XLE ISO 15552 Pneumatic Cylinders

EMC Series XLE pneumatic cylinders are double-acting ISO 15552 profile actuators designed for general industrial automation, machine building and direct replacement applications. The range combines standardised ISO mounting geometry with an anodised aluminium profile tube, hard-chrome-plated steel piston rod, magnetic piston sensing and adjustable pneumatic end cushioning.

XLE covers a broad working range from 32 mm through to 100 mm bore, with numerous standard stroke lengths available across the series. This makes it suitable for everything from compact machine movements to higher-force handling, clamping, transfer and production equipment.

If you already know the EMC manufacturer part number, select the matching XLE pneumatic cylinder directly. Alternatively, browse all EMC pneumatic cylinders, compare the wider ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinder range, or use the bore links below to narrow the range by piston diameter.

A Straightforward ISO 15552 Replacement Platform

The XLE range is particularly useful when replacing a conventional ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinder. Its standardised format gives engineers a familiar starting point for matching mounting geometry, bore and stroke, while the EMC ordering code identifies the exact actuator required.

ISO 15552 compatibility should still be treated as the beginning of a replacement check rather than the entire specification. The piston-rod thread, pneumatic port, cushioning, sensor arrangement and stroke must also match the machine.

EMC XLE Bore Sizes

The Cylinder Warehouse XLE range covers six primary piston diameters, allowing the same ISO 15552 platform to be used across very different force requirements.

32 mm bore pneumatic cylinders — compact ISO 15552 actuation for general machine movements.
40 mm bore pneumatic cylinders — common automation, fixture and handling applications.
50 mm bore pneumatic cylinders — increased force while retaining standard ISO profile construction.
63 mm bore pneumatic cylinders — medium-to-high force machinery and transfer duties.
80 mm bore pneumatic cylinders — larger handling, clamping and production applications.
100 mm bore pneumatic cylinders — high-force ISO 15552 pneumatic actuation.

Bore-Dependent Pneumatic Connections

The pneumatic port and piston-rod connection increase with cylinder size, so the complete XLE MPN should always be checked when replacing an existing actuator.

Bore	Pneumatic Port	Piston-Rod Thread
32 mm	G1/8	Check individual XLE MPN
40 mm	G1/4	M12 × 1.25
50 mm	G1/4	M16 × 1.5
63 mm	G3/8	M16 × 1.5
80 mm	G3/8	M20 × 1.5
100 mm	G1/2	Check individual XLE MPN

Standard Stroke Range Available from Cylinder Warehouse

The current Cylinder Warehouse XLE catalogue contains numerous standard stroke combinations from short 25 mm movements through to 500 mm travel. Common catalogue strokes include 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 125, 150, 160, 200, 250, 300, 320, 400 and 500 mm depending on bore size.

This depth of bore and stroke combinations makes XLE useful both for new machine construction and for sourcing an exact EMC replacement without unnecessarily changing the surrounding mounting arrangement.

Adjustable End-Position Cushioning

EMC XLE pneumatic cylinders use adjustable pneumatic end cushioning. As the piston approaches the end of the stroke, the cushioning can be tuned to slow the moving assembly before it reaches the mechanical end position.

This is particularly valuable on faster machinery or where the pneumatic cylinder is moving a significant external mass. Correctly adjusted cushioning can reduce impact, noise and mechanical stress on the actuator, its mounting hardware and the surrounding machine.

Magnetic Piston Position Detection

The XLE range incorporates a magnetic piston, allowing compatible cylinder switches to provide non-contact position feedback to the machine control system.

This makes EMC XLE suitable for automated sequences where the PLC needs confirmation that the pneumatic cylinder has reached its extended or retracted position before the next operation begins.

Anodised Aluminium Profile Construction

EMC XLE uses an anodised aluminium profile tube rather than a traditional round cylinder barrel. The profile construction provides a robust industrial body while keeping the actuator within the established ISO 15552 format.

The piston rod is hard-chrome-plated steel and the piston itself is aluminium, with NBR / PUR sealing used across the standard range.

EMC XLE for Machine Replacement

When an installed actuator carries an EMC XLE code, the complete manufacturer part number is the quickest route to the correct replacement.

For example, XLE 40/200 identifies a 40 mm bore × 200 mm stroke ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinder. Verified data for this model includes a G1/4 pneumatic connection, M12 × 1.25 piston-rod thread, magnetic piston and adjustable end-position cushioning.

Similarly, XLE 80/100 identifies an 80 mm bore × 100 mm stroke version using a G3/8 pneumatic port and M20 × 1.5 piston-rod thread.

Matching the full MPN avoids treating two ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinders as identical simply because their bore and stroke happen to be the same.

EMC XLE or Another ISO 15552 Pneumatic Cylinder?

ISO 15552 provides a useful dimensional framework for comparing industrial pneumatic cylinders across manufacturers. If an exact EMC XLE replacement is unavailable, the wider ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinder collection can be used to investigate alternatives.

Before changing manufacturer, compare the complete mounting arrangement, piston-rod thread, pneumatic port, stroke, cushioning, magnetic sensing and any accessories fitted to the original cylinder.

If an exact EMC product is preferred, return to the EMC pneumatic cylinder range and select the corresponding XLE MPN.

EMC XLE Selection Questions

Is EMC XLE definitely an ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinder?

Yes. XLE products in the EMC catalogue are identified as ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinders and use the corresponding industrial profile-cylinder format.

Is EMC XLE double acting?

Yes. Standard XLE pneumatic cylinders are double acting, with compressed air used to power both extension and retraction.

Does XLE include adjustable cushioning?

Yes. The standard XLE specification includes adjustable pneumatic end-position cushioning.

Can EMC XLE use magnetic cylinder switches?

Yes. XLE uses a magnetic piston and is designed for compatible cylinder position switches.

What is the largest XLE bore currently in Cylinder Warehouse?

The current Cylinder Warehouse catalogue contains XLE pneumatic cylinders up to 100 mm bore.

What stroke lengths are available?

The current catalogue includes many standard strokes from 25 mm through to 500 mm depending on bore size. Use the individual XLE MPN to confirm the exact bore and stroke combination.

Can I replace an EMC XLE with another ISO 15552 brand?

Potentially, but ISO 15552 alone does not guarantee a complete like-for-like replacement. Check mounting dimensions, bore, stroke, rod thread, port size, cushioning and magnetic sensing before changing manufacturer.

Where can I find other EMC pneumatic cylinders?

Browse the complete EMC pneumatic cylinder range or use the main pneumatic cylinder collection to compare other manufacturers and actuator formats.
