Claims
- 1. A rodless cylinder unit with a brake, comprising
- a cylinder tube;
- a sliding table carried by the cylinder tube for sliding movement;
- a brake arranged to stop the movement of the sliding table and including a brake holder received by the sliding table for movement between an engaged position and a released position, the brake holder having an annular groove; and
- a manual plate rotatably mounted on the sliding table, the manual plate having a hook that is engageable in the annular groove of the brake holder when the manual plate is in a selected rotational position and the brake holder is in the released position.
- 2. A rodless cylinder unit with a brake according to claim 1 wherein the brake includes an air chamber and the manual plate is received in the air chamber.
- 3. A rodless cylinder unit with a brake according to claim 1 wherein the manual plate has a projection on the hook, a manual rod is received in a guideway in the sliding table for reciprocating movement, and the projection is coupled to the manual rod such that movement of the rod imparts rotation to the manual plate.
- 4. A rodless cylinder unit with a brake, comprising
- a cylinder tube having a longitudinal axis;
- a sliding table carried by the cylinder tube for sliding movement along a path parallel to the axis;
- a brake arranged to stop the movement of the sliding table and including a stationary brake band extending through a passage in the sliding table parallel to the axis, a brake holder received by the sliding table for movement between an engaged position in engagement with the brake band and a released position disengaged from the brake band, the brake holder having an annular groove; and
- a manual plate rotatably mounted on the sliding table, the manual plate having a hook that is engageable in the annular groove of the brake holder when the manual plate is in a selected rotational position and the brake holder is in the released position.
- 5. A rodless cylinder unit with a brake according to claim 4 wherein the brake includes an air chamber, a portion of the brake holder extends into the air chamber, and the manual plate is received in the air chamber.
- 6. A rodless cylinder unit with a brake according to claim 5 wherein the manual plate has a projection on the hook, a manual rod is received in a guideway in the sliding table for reciprocating movement, spaced-apart seals are interposed between the guideway and the manual rod, and the projection is coupled to the manual rod at a location between the seals such that movement of the rod imparts rotation to the manual plate.
- 7. A rodless cylinder unit with a brake according to claim 4 wherein the manual plate has a projection on the hook, a manual rod is received in a guideway in the sliding table for reciprocating movement, and the projection is coupled to the manual rod such that movement of the rod imparts rotation to the manual plate.
