The Netherlocks actuator lock locks rotating as well as linear actuators.
Plant safety engineers recognised that controlling actuators is a serious issue.
Often maintenance engineers have to work downstream an actuated valve for overhaul or cleaning activities.
They have to trust that in no circumstance the actuator will be opened or closed, since this could result in terrible accidents.
For this reason the actuator has to be locked.
To avoid several locking or positioning devices on the electric, pneumatic or hydraulic actuator, Netherlocks supplies an interlocking device that physically blocks the actuator and valve coupling.
The Netherlocks actuator lock locks rotating as well as linear actuators.
The torque or thrust is unlimited.
Another popular use of the lock is to protect plants against vandalism, such as stealing natural gas or oil.
The Netherlocks actuator locks are safe and simple in operation.
