R(D)LQ Compact Cylinder with Air Cushion and Lock
Series RLQ was developed to provide the safety of drop prevention, at any point of the stroke, should the air supply be cut off. The RLQ benefits from additional features such as its own built in air cushion and lock unit, standardized bypass piping and home position holding function. The new series RLQ is the perfect solution for applications which require larger kinetic energy, high stroke repeatability and decreased sound levels. Series RLQ, is currently available in bore sizes of 32, 40, 50 and 63mm, with standard stroke options of between 20 – 100mm, series
- Large allowable kinetic energy
- Noise reduction (27% noise reduction compared to CQ2 without cushion)
- Good stroke repeatability (Metal to metal at stroke end)
- Manual override mechanism allows unlocking with simple tools
- Bypass piping type is available for applications requiring drop prevention
