Hydraulic Cylinder
with Mechanical Interlock
new functional principle
large locking forces
easy readjustment
monitoring of interlocking
This hydraulic cylinder has been engineered for functions in
which the piston rod and its attached components must be
held precisely and safe in their end position, even under the
effect of large forces.
The mechanical interlock of this Hydropneu cylinder blocks
the piston rod with positive locking. Even in the case of a
hydraulic pressure drop, safe interlocking is guaranteed.
Very high interlocking forces can be realized with this interlocking mechanism. The interlock can be integrated into the
front end or rear end position of the piston rod.
The compact design of the cylinder compared to conventional interlocking solutions facilitates the implementation of
complex forms of construction with elaborate motion sequences. The interlocking mechanism can be integrated
into many Hydropneu cylinders.
The interlock works automatically as part of the hydraulic
impact on the piston or on the side of the piston rod and
requires no further control.
A major advantage of the Hydropneu solution is the
possibility of adjusting the locking position even without any disassembly. It is possible to react to setting
characteristics or thermal expansions without having
to stop the production for a long time.
This cuts down setup time and safes money.
