Hydraulic-Pneumatic Cylinder
Pneumatic Cylinders Integrated with Hydraulic Brake
Integrating pneumatic cylinders with a hydraulic brake system offers a range of benefits that enhance the functionality and efficiency of industrial applications.
One of the key advantages is the improved precision and control achieved through the hydraulic brakes, which allow for smoother and more accurate stopping and holding positions.
This precision is critical in applications requiring exact positioning and repeatable performance.
Additionally, the combination of pneumatic and hydraulic technologies provides enhanced force and load handling capabilities, making these systems well-suited for heavy-duty tasks.
The integration also leads to increased operational safety, as hydraulic brakes can offer fail-safe mechanisms and instant response times in emergency situations. Moreover, the hybrid system can result in a more energy-efficient operation by leveraging the strengths of both pneumatic and hydraulic components, potentially reducing overall energy consumption and operational costs.
Overall, pneumatic cylinders integrated with hydraulic brakes deliver superior performance, safety, and efficiency, making them an excellent choice for a variety of demanding industrial environments.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE SERIES BRK
This is a closed-loop hydraulic brake without its own power source.
It is normally associated with an ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinder.
It consists of an oil-filled cylinder, one or more regulation valves and a tank compensating for oil leaks.
It is available in two sizes, the Ø40 and Ø63, and in different versions:
• with regulation in piston rod extension, in retraction or both
• SKIP valve (slow/fast) or STOP valve or both, with NC or NO control
After a certain operating time, the brake compensation tank needs to be topped up. Refer to the minimum mark on the dipstick. With the piston rod fully extended, the dipstick must project at least 15 mm from the tank cap.
Use only DEXRON ATF hydraulic oil.
During the first few work cycles, excess oil is ejected through a hole in the tank.
Regulation can be controlled remotely
INTEGRATED HYDRAULIC BRAKE
The integrated hydraulic brake is comprised of a pneumatic cylinder that acts as an actuator and an oleo-dynamic circuit that acts as a brake.
The dimensions of the pneumatic cylinder comply with ISO 15552.
The hydraulic circuit is comprised of a brake fluid tank and one or two flow regulation pins. It can mount one or more (slow-fast) SKIP or STOP valves that are normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC), for the piston rod extension and retraction.
The basic feature of this device is that the driving force and the braking force are coaxial, so they do not generate undesired bending moments on the piston rod and the external structures connected to it.
Due to its conception, this brake is particularly compact and has reduced dimensions compared to BRK external hydraulic brakes.
After a certain operating time, the brake fluid tank must be topped up with oil. This needs doing when the oil level reaches the minimum mark on the rod.
With the piston rod right out, the minimum level mark must
not project less than 8-10 mm from the cap.
Always use DEXRON ATF hydraulic oil or another compatible product.
During the first operating cycles, excess oil is expelled through a hole in the tank.
Regulation can be controlled remotely
