Univer AM-5502 One-Way Blocking Valve

Description:

The Univer AM-5502 Blocking Valve is a one-way pneumatic safety valve designed to mechanically lock a cylinder in position in the event of pressure loss or system failure. Utilizing a poppet-type design with high flow capacity, it prevents unintended cylinder movement and enhances operational safety in compressed air systems. Maintenance personnel, OEMs, and automation engineers commonly use the AM-5502 for replacement, preventive maintenance, and safety upgrades in industrial pneumatic installations.

Applications:

The Univer AM-5502 is commonly mounted directly on pneumatic cylinders used in packaging equipment, assembly machines, material handling systems, and automated production lines. When installed with the cylinder port connected to the valve, it blocks cylinder movement if air pressure is accidentally lost, making it ideal for applications requiring load holding and fail-safe positioning in continuous-duty industrial environments.
