Rod clamp

April 3, 2008

Advanced Machine & Engineering has released its AMLOK Hydraulic Series RCH Rod Clamp, developed to provide power-off clamping of rods and shafts. They’re actuated by a spring/collet mechanism and unclamped by hydraulic pressure, and 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 MCP179X LDOs were designed for use in applications requiring continuous operation at high input voltages, such as 12V automotive and 24V industrial applications. The built-in load-dump protection feature shields the system from the voltage transients often found in these types of applications, particularly those in the automotive market. All of this, combined with ceramic output capacitor stability and a low quiescent current of just 70 microamperes, enables more compact, power-efficient and reliable designs.
