AHP merkle catalogues
Many cylinders are available from stock or on short lead times.
Full CAD data is available for all cylinders. The range includes:
CyBlock
This range of locking cylinders is designed for use with moving side cores on mould tools.
Once locked the cylinders hold far higher forces than conventional cylinders, without the
need to maintain hydraulic pressure. The HS version locks with preload. The HDD and
HSD versions are for pressure die cast moulds.
CyPull
Based on the successful CyPull cylinder the CyBlock is a locking cylinder with a body
design the same as a conventional block cylinder. This allows easy mounting and adjusting to the mould tool.
Others in the clamping technology range:

Docking system with safety lock
The CyDock docking system guarantees the ultimate in precision and safety using simple
technology. A coupling bolt is automatically positively locked by means of radially
operating locking segments. On request this is done free from play. The coupling is
released by applying hydraulic or pneumatic force.
Holding forces of up to several hundred kN can be achieved.
