Pneumatic Cylinder Locking Device

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.

Pneumatic cylinder locking device.

The metal on metal positive lock ensures hard contact repeatability and maintains position independent of system. 3 1 installing the locking device the same instructions are valid for b q and b w actuators. On both of them due to the use of special high strength materials and a lever mechanism locking force is very. 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.

It is designed for iso 15552 and 6432 vdma cylinders indeed it is used to block the rod of the cylinder in any position. This locking device for cylinders blocks the cylinder s rod movement in case of unexpected pressure drops. Pneumatic cylinders are used in automotive plumbing engineering and a variety of additional applications. Repeatable precise positioning along with high force holding capability is now attainable with pfa self locking cylinders.

Flexible and fixed pipes screwed joints valves. 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. However when the valve is locked open by bcw or bjw locking device the procedure shown in these instructions you must be more careful because of possible air pressure in actuator cylinder.

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. 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 lock is designed specifically to prevent rod movement in the axial direction only. 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.

Air cylinders and pneumatic actuators can support automation by enhancing productivity increasing throughput and improving worker safety when they are appropriately specified. It is not recommended for locking rotary rod motion. The patented airwork pneumatic rod lock bs series is a mechanical clamping unit. The locking device can be chosen in the single or double acting version.

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. Self locking cylinders and brake cylinders allow designers to defeat common barriers associated with hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
