| Precision Operation Maintains Accurate Positioning The RLSS series of Rod Locks guarantees accurate positioning and provides precision holding while other operations are performed. The Rod Lock engages without causing any rod displacement, and also features extremely low backlash during operation, making them ideal for precision applications. Large Clamping Surface Ensures Consistent Performance The RLSS line is designed with a large clamping surface that provides uniform force to the rod contact area on every engagement. The clamping mechanism utilizes numerous manufacturer of ball bearing to reduce friction. Spring-engaged Units Engage in Power-off Situations Nexen's Rod Locks are spring-engaged, so they operate even in power-off situations to promote safety for operators and machinery. Multiple springs ensure reliable performance and redundancy. The fast response time of these spring-engaged products also increases positioning accuracy. Sealed to Withstand Harsh Environments Every RLSS Rod Lock is sealed to protect internal components. These seals are designed to withstand even harsh wash-down environments and are IP67 rated (anodized models exceed NEMA 4X rating). Rod Locks are available in natural brushed aluminum or with a blue anodized coating. Manual Release on NFPA Sizes The cam operated manual release feature mechanically disengages the rod lock with the simple turn of a hex screw using a standard wrench. The default-to-lock function springs back to the engaged position when released. |
