Pneumatic Rod Lock from AME

Advanced Machine & Engineering Co. announces the Fourth- Generation RLN Series Rod Locks.  The new Pneumatic Series RLN Rod Lock has been developed as a solution to control problems inherent to pneumatics – over travel, drifting, bouncing and reverse traveling.  The AMLOK^® Power-Off Rod Lock can be mounted to a NFPA cylinder, or as a stand alone unit.

The patented AMLOK^® Type RLN is constructed of black anodized aluminum housing with a special piston and wedge locking mechanism actuated by multiple springs that mechanically lock the rod quickly and securely. The clamp is unlocked when air actuates the piston, compresses the spring and releases the locking device.

–No rod displacement on engagement
–Large clamping surface reduces pressure-per-square-inch on the rod, extending service life
–Fast response time
–Low backlash
–4 bar (60 psi) release pressure
–Precision holding 0.002-0.003
–Consistent clamping force in both directions
–High cycle rates and accuracy
–Holds load during power/pressure loss
–Compact unit, easy integration
–Versatile sleeve nut/tie rod mounting to NFPA style pneumatic cylinders
–Many NFPA style-mounting attachments available for stand alone applications

The optional sealed RLN Series design is suitable for food and wash down applications as well as pneumatic and hydraulic presses, scissor-lift tables, test and positioning equipment, amusement ride equipment, printing and paper handling equipment, theatrical equipment (platforms), assembly equipment, and machine tool applications.

Heavy-Duty Cylinders

Machesney Park, IL – TRD Manufacturing, a Bimba Company, announces the introduction of their new HH Series Cylinders, which feature an innovative design to deliver more reliability in heavy-duty industrial hydraulic operations.

All HH Series models come in bore sizes 1.50”, 2”, 2.50”, 3.25”, 4”, 5”, 6” and 8”. Requests are made-to-order, with standard and custom options available. Cylinders usually ship in two to three days and most requests are answered the day they are received.

As part of the HH series, TRD offers a complete line of hydraulic Rod Locks. Cutting-edge floating rod bushing technology ensures that these rod locks achieve their high rated holding force and stay correctly aligned. This reduces cylinder drag, wear and erratic operation, thereby ultimately improving performance, consistency and results.

Each rod lock model is available in three different holding forces, depending on the release pressure. And, with the ability to handle up to 3,000 PSI, these precision-machined cylinders can be used on most heavy-duty applications.

Other standard features include a heavy-duty rod wiper, seals, wear band, chrome plated I.D tube and more. Rod locks, stop tubes, center supports, stainless steel piston rods and high impact pistons are also available as performance options. Accessories include clevis, pins, mounts and alignment couplers up to a 5” thread size.
