| 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. | |
