Zimmer locking carriages provide an innovative approach to motion positioning and stopping. The carriages can be static (used solely for locking) or include braking functionality. They operate manually or via pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric controls. These components combine a compact design with exceptionally high locking force and durability. Installation is straightforward, and the range includes a wide selection as well as fully customized solutions.
The structure of manual locking carriages is compact, and their operation is simple. A screw tightens the friction pads symmetrically on both sides of the guide. The carriage is always detached from the guide, mounted to the guide’s table plate. Manual locking carriages are ideal for applications such as positioning optical instruments, medical devices, and measurement tables, as well as for manual rear stops.
