Mechanical Force Amplifier Leverages Pounds Into Tons
LatchTool Group announced today the release of its PowerCylinder™ the first commercial product that mechanically amplifies a linear force multiple times using encapsulated hydraulic circuitry.
Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) February 23, 2005 – The LatchTool Group announced
today the release of its PowerCylinder™ the first commercial product that mechanically
amplifies a linear force multiple times using encapsulated hydraulic circuitry.
Intended for original equipment manufacturers, the small PowerCylinder™ can now
add a hydraulic boost to hand and power tools, robots or virtually any piece of
industrial equipment without the expense and bulk of hydraulic systems. Driven
by hand or by motor, the PowerCylinder™ offers the speed and heft of hydraulics
in small spaces.
Featuring an automatic resistance regulated
transmission, the 16-ounce PowerCylinder™ raises the bar for portable power
density. A 50 pound squeeze of the handle delivers 1˝ tons at the business end.
LatchTool has pioneered the development of the PowerCylinder™;
establishing a new product category with its first introduction of a mechanical
force amplifier. The LatchTool Group has been formed around the discoveries made
by Bill Gallentine and Myron Tupper of a new check valve that permits large
unrestricted volumetric flows and of compact hydraulic circuitries. Multiple
patents have issued. A team of new business, licensing and new product
specialists have combined to launch the technology. Contact LatchTool Group at
719-488-8800.
