Locking and holding cylinders
Hydraulic/Pneumatic cylinder
with positive locking
In modern production, hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders are standard for linear stroke
movements. When guaranteed rigidity under load and failsafe function is required the CyLock
cylinder with positive locking is the right choice. Due to its positive locking at the end of stroke,
many interesting and easy technical solutions are possible. The cylinders enable a considerable
simplification of complicated conventional construction. No additional mechnanic or steering is
required. The positive locking automatically becomes effective when the cylinder reaches the
lockable final position. It remains locked even when the pressure is disconnected. Since the
holding force in the locked position is many times that of the cylinder's hoisting power, high
counterforces can also be safely absorbed
Pneumatic cylinder with internal
braking device
The benefits of pneumatics such as velocity, high duty cycles and economy, aid
automation. With it the following main requirements on the system are made:
. Drop protection for a lifted load in any position
. Holding intermediate positions
. Low moving but high retaining power
. Quick stopping of power
Normally these demands are only achievable with additional equipment
CyStop is a special element, that allows a solution to nearly every problem in
automation industry by considerably simplifying the technical design. As a
combination of a pneumatic cylinder with an integrated braking and holding
device, it allows immediately stopping the stroke movement in any position. The
cylinder automatically brakes when one of the connections of the cylinder is
released. The mechanism is based on the principle of frictional connection and
can be activated in any position.
