Lock Cylinder
This lock cylinder is a dedicated safety locking element used in multiple subsystems of electric arc furnaces (EAF). It may be installed on the roof ring, electrode arm, tilting platform, or busbar connection points. Hydraulically actuated, it drives a locking pin, wedge, or hook into a corresponding slot or hole to achieve mechanical locking of the furnace roof to the shell, rigid fixing of the electrode position, or anti-rotation protection of the tilting mechanism. Though compact, it fulfills the critical duty of preventing unintended movement, safeguarding personnel and equipment alike. Equipped with a water-cooling jacket, high-temperature-resistant seals, and a built-in displacement sensor, it continuously delivers reliable, leak-free locking force and provides precise real-time lock/unlock status feedback even under the intense radiant heat, dust, and electromagnetic interference around the furnace top.
