CLA

The CLA cylinder acts as an air-operated brake with spring-backup. When external position feedback sends a signal to an air valve, the brake is actuated and fast-acting shoes grab the actuator shaft. When pressure is removed, the spring automatically locks the brake onto the shaft. Three locking mechanisms are available: spring lock, air pressure lock and air/spring pressure lock. The CLA locks in either direction, comes in five bore sizes, and is available with PT or NPT ports and nominal inch-rod threads. Other features include manual override, non-lube operation, air cushions, and seven mounting styles.

CLG1

The series CLG1 is provided with a compact locking mechanism that locks in both directions. The piston rod can be locked in either direction of its cylinder stroke. It is suitable for intermediate stops, for emergency stops, and for drop prevention. The CLG1 fine lock cylinder is part of SMC's CG1 cylinder series.

CLJ2

The CLJ2 offers a brake mechanism to stop the position rod at any position while retracting or extending. Choose from three different brake mechanisms to select the unit best suited for your application. Compact and lightweight, the CLJ2 is part of SMC's CJ2 product line.

CLM2

The series CLM2 offers a brake mechanism to stop the piston rod at any position while retracting or extending. With three different brake mechanisms and four bore sizes available, SMC gives you the choice of the best unit for your application. The compact and lightweight CLM2 is a part of the CM2 product line.

CLQ

Compact cylinder series CLQ, although equipped with locking function, is designed to minimize the overall length. Overall length of the model is achieved to be the same as that of the CQ2 compact cylinder. CLQ is available in 5 bore sizes ranging from 40 to 100mm and is auto switch capable.

CLS

The CLS series cylinder with lock is ideal for applications requiring intermediate and emergency stop and drop prevention. The compact lock unit is lightweight and saves space. A switch is optional on the brake cylinder so the operating state of the lock unit (brake piston) can be detected using the switch signal. By separating the lock mechanism and the brake cylinder, SMC has minimized the influences of unlocking air quality such as moisture and condensation.

CNA

The CNA series is a cylinder with lock, suitable for mid-stroke stop and emergency stop and drop prevention. The same holding force in extending and retracting directions is used making it possible to lock at both ends. Improved brake shoe material and increased length results in stable holding force and high reliability. Locking mechanism is isolated from lock release air, so lock function is not diminished by excessive dirt or drain in compressed air.

CNG

Greater locking efficiency as well as stable locking and unlocking operation has been achieved with the CNG cylinder series by arranging a large number of steel ball bearings in circular rows. The floating taper ring provides alignment and stable locking force with respect to piston rod eccentricity. Unlocking pressure of 0.25MPa (0.05MPa lower than conventional SMC product).

CNS

The CNS series cylinder with lock is ideal for applications requiring intermediate and emergency stop and drop prevention. The compact lock unit saves space and the enclosed construction and separation of the lock mechanism and the unlocking piston chamber minimizes the influences of poor air quality.
