Pneumatic cylinder locking device.

3 1 installing the locking device the same instructions are valid for b q and b w actuators. Cylinder with mechanical piston rod locking device mb series pneumatic cylinders are actuators with piston rod locking device integrated in the front end cap. Remove air pressure from the actuator. Rod locking pneumatic cylinders such as parker s p1f series of iso cylinders have been designed to hold loads safely in position in a situation where the compressed air supply fails.

The mechanical locking means between the piston or piston rod and the cylinder is required to prevent a load lifted by the hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder from undesirably dropping as the result of a leakage or a fracture in the pressurized system associated with the cylinder viz. The metal on metal positive lock ensures hard contact repeatability and maintains position independent of system. This locking device for cylinders blocks the cylinder s rod movement in case of unexpected pressure drops. Repeatable precise positioning along with high force holding capability is now attainable with pfa self locking cylinders.

The rod lock is designed specifically to prevent rod movement in the axial direction only. On both of them due to the use of special high strength materials and a lever mechanism locking force is very. It is not recommended for locking rotary rod motion. Pneumatic cylinders are used in automotive plumbing engineering and a variety of additional applications.

Whether the piston is a disc or a cylinder each pneumatic cylinder is designed to transfer force to move an object when compressed gas expands if the gas is at a greater pressure than the atmospheric pressure. This powerful mechanical force powers pneumatic cylinders to move a piston in a. The locking device can be chosen in the single or double acting version. The patented airwork pneumatic rod lock bs series is a mechanical clamping unit.

The products range from linear round body compact tie rod guided rodless rotary gripper locking clamp and stopper with variations of non rotating corrosion. The prl rod lock is a precision locking device therefore strict rod tolerances and rod material specifications are required to ensure safe and proper operation. Flexible and fixed pipes screwed joints valves. Pneumatic cylinders also known as air cylinders or linear actuators are mechanical devices that use air to move compressed gas in a linear line creating a pressure used in actuation of a valve gate lever jack or press.

The rod locking feature is a mechanical function provided by a cartridge through which the piston rod passes and is mounted transversally in the rod lock unit of. It is designed for iso 15552 and 6432 vdma cylinders indeed it is used to block the rod of the cylinder in any position.
