Pneumatic Cylinder Locking Device

Cylinder with mechanical piston rod locking device mb series pneumatic cylinders are actuators with piston rod locking device integrated in the front end cap.

Pneumatic cylinder locking device. Repeatable precise positioning along with high force holding capability is now attainable with pfa self locking cylinders. It is not recommended for locking rotary rod motion. Flexible and fixed pipes screwed joints valves. 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.

3 1 installing the locking device the same instructions are valid for b q and b w actuators. 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 rod lock is designed specifically to prevent rod movement in the axial direction only. Remove air pressure from the actuator.

The locking device can be chosen in the single or double acting version. This powerful mechanical force powers pneumatic cylinders to move a piston in a. Air cylinders and pneumatic actuators can support automation by enhancing productivity increasing throughput and improving worker safety when they are appropriately specified. 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.

The patented airwork pneumatic rod lock bs series is a mechanical clamping unit. 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. This locking device for cylinders blocks the cylinder s rod movement in case of unexpected pressure drops. 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.

On both of them due to the use of special high strength materials and a lever mechanism locking force is very. The metal on metal positive lock ensures hard contact repeatability and maintains position independent of system. It is designed for iso 15552 and 6432 vdma cylinders indeed it is used to block the rod of the cylinder in any position. Choose from a broad air cylinder selection at grainger.

Pneumatic cylinders are used in automotive plumbing engineering and a variety of additional applications. 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.
