Pneumatic clamping and braking element for piston rods
max. 60000 N, 4 bar | RBPS
Zimmer GmbH
The pneumatic Clamping and Braking Element for piston rods RB.
The RB series is based on our proven wedge slide gear principle and is used for clamping and braking without pressure.
This element was developed for deployment on round-shaft guides or piston rods with a surface hardness of min. HCR 54.
The compact design is suitable for shaft diameters of Ø10 to Ø60 and allows holding forces of up to 60,000 N at a pneumatic opening pressure of just 4 bar.
As a specific feature no reset is needed for restarting.
The RB series stands out for its short reaction times. Even in vertical deployment, short braking distance are achieved in less than 30 ms.
Details on the length of the brake path to be expected can be obtained from our technical advisors. The computations are based on serial tests and our industrial experience.
Application scenarios for RB:
Positioning of axes
Clamping and braking in case of pressure drop
Fixing of vertical axes
Positioning of lifting devices
