Cylinders with piston-rod brake device
With the Double Acting brake unit, type RXD, the brake is applied by supplying air to port AA.To release the brake, air must be removed from
port AA and applied to port BB.The clamping force of this unit is directly proportioned to the supply pressure at port AA.
With the Single Acting brake unit, type RXS (see fig. 1), the brake is normally applied to the piston-rod with a campling force as shown in the table
(see page A-79). To release the brake, air is supplied to port BB.
In both DA & SA versions the brake may be applied at any point of the cylinder stroke, in every direction of the piston rod.
