AMLOK RLI Pneumatic Rod Lock

Compact, High-Precision Locks for Pneumatic Cylinders

The AMLOK RLI Series rod locks deliver reliable, mechanical position holding for ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinders, eliminating common pneumatic issues such as drift, bounce, or unintended motion. These spring-engaged, air-released clamps automatically secure the cylinder rod when air pressure is lost, ensuring fail-safe operation and precise positioning.

Key Features
Instant, Precision LockingMinimal backlash with repeatability within microns; response time ~100 milliseconds.
Fail-Safe DesignSpring-engaged, pneumatic-released, clamps automatically on pressure loss.
Robust Holding ForceCompact design delivers holding forces from 200 to 2450 lbf.
ISO Standard IntegrationBolt-on installation for ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinders.
Durable ConstructionSolid, one-piece housing supports installation in any orientation, ensuring reliability and longevity.

For braking applications, contact the factory. See SITEMA safety devices when the potential for personal injury exists.

AMLOK RLI Pneumatic Rod Lock

Technical Overview

The RLI Series uses an internal mechanical spring mechanism to securely clamp the cylinder rod when pneumatic pressure is lost or removed. An integrated pneumatic piston releases the clamp when air pressure is restored, providing quick engagement and precise, fail-safe positioning. This ensures reliable load holding and enhanced safety in ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinder applications.

The RLI Series can be customized or optioned for various application needs:

Corrosion Protection

Choose stainless steel or nickel-plated housing versions for use in corrosive environments or where wash-down cleaning is required. 

High-Performance Seals

Upgrade to Viton® seals for better chemical resistance and higher temperature capability, ensuring the rod lock maintains performance in demanding conditions.

Rod Wipers/Scrapers

Add wiper or scraper elements to keep debris, dust, or fluids off the rod and out of the locking mechanism. This is recommended for dirty or abrasive environments to maintain long-term reliability.

Fully Sealed Unit

For food processing, pharmaceutical, or outdoor applications, a fully sealed RLI variant can be provided. Sealed units prevent ingress of contaminants (or egress of lubricant) and are suited for washdown and hygienic environments.
