Secure rod clamping.

Pneumatic rod clamping allows hydraulic presses to be used for any application. With the help of hydraulic presses, cut ceramic parts are manufactured during the week. So that the rods of the upper and lower stamping plate do not sag when the press is at a standstill over the weekend or during holidays and therefore have to be setup again on the next working day, PN80-25-2-6B type rod clamps are used.

Safely slowing down damaging forces from moving loads or Emergency braking are united in this product group from ACE. Although the safety shock absorbers, profile dampers and clamping elements differ so much in design, every single ACE component provides the best protection for your machine. 

They demonstrate their main advantages in emergency stop situations and, based on the protection they provide, are very cost-effective. Furthermore, they can all be easily integrated in the existing construction designs and largely work independent of energy supplies.

Immediate clamping in case of loss of pneumatics: Suitable for rods with diameters of 20 to 40 mm, the clamping elements from the LOCKED-Series PN absorb the forces axially and rotationally. With holding forces of up to 36,000 N, they reach or exceed the levels of hydraulic clamps. The system costs are however lower.

Alongside clamping in both directions of motion, the LOCKED-PN also surprises with its compact design. They need less installation space and enable short rod lengths. For versions with ISO pneumatic cylinders, the base plate is coordinated to the dimensions of the flange sizes of standard cylinders according to ISO 15552. Users appreciate the modular system. It allows several segments to be stacked so that the necessary clamping force can be attained for every application.

The areas of application for the LOCKED-Series PN are mechanical engineering and machine tools.
