CyTec CYLINDER TECHNOLOGY

Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders with positive end position locking

The CYTEC tensioning lock clamps and locks positively without a coupling function.

In the modern production processes of machine construction the linear stroke movements are performed with pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders. Whenever guaranteed stiffness under load and crash safety are required in the specifications, the CyLock locking cylinder performs convincingly. The integrated locking technology makes its technically ingenious and simplified solutions a reality. This is done without additional mechanical and control systems. For the production process this means: reduced design efforts, cost reduction and lower manufacturing expenses. Less components and therefore lower susceptibility to failures and longer production cycles

… have been successfully used in the tool and mold making industry for many years. The different series models show their strengths particularly for complex molds with challenging tasks. The integrated positive locking system gives them a significant advantage over conventional solutions: This allows you to “defy” the high internal pressures building up during injection molding with only minimal installation space needed and to guarantee relatively complex run sequences. The basic concept is based on maximizing the system stiffness to achieve a consistently high level of workpiece quality. Flanges and pressure screws are available to attach the cylinders; the lock and swing end positions can be monitored with proximity switches. Take advantage of the core puller interlocking cylinder system by CyPull to optimize your projects in the areas of injection and die cast molding.

Automation engineering depends on the advantages of pneumatics, such as speed, high duty cycles and cost-effectiveness. The following are special requirements on the system

• stiff locking mechanism, regardless of load, even in intermediate positions
• frequent switching of positions

Many of these challenges can only be realized with additional design expenditures. The CyStop locking cylinder is a custom-made element that solves almost all tasks in the automation industry at an appropriate cost. It is a combination of a pneumatic cylinder with an integrated locking system and offers the possibility of slowing down a lifting movement and locking it in any position. This is done automatically whenever the pressure drops at one of the control connections of the cylinder, so without any external power. The braking effect happens on the principle of friction/adhesion and can be effective in any position

… The compact CyBlock series was developed especially for applications in the tool and mold making industry, where, along with a low demolding lifting range the safe hold of the nucleus is most important. They are easily installed and adjusted and complete the range of our CyPull locking cylinder series. Just as the CyPull series, the CyBlock also works with an integrated and positively locking system at an extended position of the piston rod.
