In industrial environments, holding a component in place is rarely as simple as stopping movement. Machines vibrate, loads shift, and operators interact with equipment in ways that introduce constant, variable forces. In these conditions, a rigid locking system can actually work against long-term performance by transferring shock directly into surrounding structures. Elastic locking offers a more practical solution by holding position while still managing the energy created by real-world operation. Learn more here.
The PCH Network Portal offers decentralized Inputs/Outputs and IO-Link master ports opening the door to optimized machine architecture and new levels of configurability, all while connecting to the 5 sizes of H Series ISO valves.
