Enhance Machine Safety with Locking Cylinders
Stopping a pneumatic cylinder in emergency situations or during regular operations is essential to machine safety. Although there are many ways to solve this challenging application, stopping the flow of compressed air using an air circuit combined with a mechanical locking cylinder will be the most enhanced level of safety. The energy in compressed air can be controlled and directed by solenoid valves to produce cylinder motion, but it can also be harnessed to abruptly stop cylinder motion.

Protect Machines from Premature Wear with Soft-Start Valves
Optimizing machine productivity can manifest itself in many different forms such as: operating 24/7, running
production lines at maximum throughput or minimizing machine downtime. One way to reduce machine downtime
is by increasing its overall lifecycle or by extending the interval between regularly scheduled maintenance and
repair.A machine is subject to additional stress and risks to premature wear when it is powered up and pressurized with
compressed air after a scheduled shut-down or a s
