![]() Rod Lock Series RL For cylinders ISO 6431/VDMA and ISO 6432* Series RL ø : 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, 125 mm The Series RL rod locks are available in 9 different sizes to fit (DIN/ISO 6432)cylinders 20-25 mm diameter and (DIN/ISO 6431 VDMA) cylinders 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100 and 125 mm diameter. The compact dimensions allow units to be fitted on cylinders where space is limited. Rod lock units are often used to hold the load in position during Emergency Stop conditions or when the air supply may be accidently disconnected from the system. The holding forces are measured at 8 bar. g. and apply in both directions. When operating the cylinder to achieve intermediate stroke positions, a 5/3 pressure center valve should be used. The piston rod should remain in the locked position when the directional valve is in the mid position. Caution: the rod lock should not be used to “brake” the piston rod in dynamic conditions and must only be applied when movement has ceased. View Rod Lock Series RL PDF catalog |
