Rod Lock Units
are often used to hold a cylinder load stationary during Emergency Stop (E-
Stop) conditions. They are also designed to mechanically lock a cylinder piston
rod in the event of an air supply failure. Use caution when applying a Rod Lock
unit. The Rod Lock should not be used to "brake" the cylinder piston
rod in dynamic conditions. Aditionally, the lock must only be applied when
movement has ceased.
We offer two different Rod
Locking Units. The NU Lock Series and the RL Series. Both units can be used with
our NFPA Interchange cylinder line (A Series) as well as with our ISO 6431 and
VDMA 24562 cylinder line.
