Why self-locking & Braking Cylinders?

May 14, 2014 By

SELFLOCKING-CATALOGSelf-Locking Cylinders and Brake Cylinders allow designers to defeat common barriers associated with hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

Locking Cylinders: Repeatable precise positioning along with high force holding capability is now attainable with PFA Self Locking Cylinders. The metal-on-metal positive lock ensures “hard contact” repeatability and maintains position independent of system pressure. Because the locking mechanism physically blocks rod movement, common “spongy” air and hydraulic problems are eliminated. Once in the locked position, system pressure may be lost or removed without affecting position or load capacity.
