Rod Locks

This spring-engaged, air-released series of rod locks features a wide clamping surface to ensure high holding force seven during power/pressure loss, providing reliable precision gripping of up to 2,280kg, depending on the model. The rugged rod locks utilize numerous ball bearings to transfer the spring force onto the clamping collar, resulting in large clamping areas designed to provide a uniform force to the contact area on every engagement. This allows the lock to engage without any rod displacement. Additionally, a cam operated manual release feature mechanically disengages the rod lock with no special tools needed - just a simple turn of a hex screw using a standard wrench. The default-to-lock function springs back to the engaged position when released. Available in ISO and NFPA sizes, the RLSS Series Rod Locksare IP67 rated and withstand harsh industrial environments, including washdown applications.
