Tooling Technology in Fort Loramie, Ohio has added a new product to their time saving line of Segen Quick Change pneumatic cylinder locks. The new PD500 Mega Cylinder, (the largest version yet) will help facilitate record change over times of some of the largest tools, fixtures, molds and dies for an extensive range of industries. Weighing in at 11 lbs, each new Mega Cylinder will hold its mating 2 lb knob in an accurate and repeatable home position with 25,000 lbs of static holding force. Like its smaller siblings before, the new Mega Cylinder is engineered for long life with a corrosion resistant finish and an operational temperature range between –65 to +300 degrees F. The high-strength steel knobs will withstand greater sheer loads, accelerating the changeovers of larger and / or vertically positioned tools, molds and dies.
