Automation engineers can obtain two separate movements on a single linear axis, saving design and assembly time plus an actuator.
The cylinder adapters (housing) comply with VDM standards and remain identical to the original, apart from the larger cartridge bore.
The improved locking mechanics of the completely maintenance free cartridges provides faster action, longer service life and higher locking forces.
The original passive and active locking units will of course continue to be available from FS Engineering.
The main benefits and features of the new series V5000 are: Minimum space requirement.
Reduced risk of accidental cartridge damage.
Increased retaining forces from 50 to 8700 N.
Cartridges for 4 to 32 mm rods.
Adapters for 10 to 125 mm cylinders.
Single cartridges are available for custom applications and spares.
