The type RCH Rod Clamps are actuated by a spring/collet mechanism and unclamped by hydraulic pressure.

The AMLOK Hydraulic Series RCH Rod Clamp from Advanced Machine & Engineering (Rockford, IL) has been developed to provide power-off clamping of rods and shafts. The type RCH Rod Clamps are actuated by a spring/collet mechanism and unclamped by hydraulic pressure. These rod clamps are designed to clamp components after the motion has stopped and to hold the position securely as long as the forces do not exceed the table values. The AMLOK Rod Clamp offers:

• A standard housing that can be mounted to any machine structure or be custom-designed to suit your application.
• An alloy steel housing containing a special locking mechanism actuated by a set of disc springs.
• A holding force that depends upon the rod diameter and the amount of hydraulic pressure (PSI) available for unclamping.
• Special SITEMA Safety Catchers and Locking Units can be provided.
