In the world of automated material handling, stopping a 500kg pallet moving at 15 meters per minute requires more than just a metal plate. Our Pallet Conveyor Stop drawing provides the professional engineering solution for stopping, singulating, and releasing pallets on roller or chain conveyors. This technical CAD resource details a robust pneumatic escapement mechanism equipped with integrated hydraulic damping to absorb kinetic energy, preventing workpiece shift and reducing mechanical wear on the conveyor frame.

The design featured in this package focuses on the Pivoting Lever Stop architecture. The drawing includes detailed layouts for the pneumatic cylinder actuator, the hardened steel stop-blade, and the precision-calibrated shock absorber. By downloading this file from MechStream, you gain access to a “soft-stop” design that handles high-inertia loads without the “bounce-back” effect common in cheaper, undamped stops. This is a vital asset for designers of automotive assembly lines, battery pack manufacturing, and heavy-duty palletizing cells.

Our technical documentation prioritizes structural rigidity and failsafe operation. The assembly is designed to be “Normally Closed” (NC), meaning the stop blade remains in the upright position even if pneumatic pressure is lost, preventing runaway pallets. Whether you are building a simple manual workstation or a fully automated multi-lane sorting system, this drawing provides the exact mounting patterns, air consumption data, and impact force ratings required for a professional-grade installation.

Key Features:

  • Integrated Hydraulic Damping: Features an adjustable shock absorber to provide a smooth deceleration curve for various pallet weights.
  • Failsafe Mechanical Locking: Designed to maintain the stop position during power or air loss to ensure facility safety.
  • Inductive Sensor Mounts: Pre-defined locations for proximity sensors to provide “Pallet Present” and “Stop Open/Closed” feedback to the PLC.
  • Heavy-Duty Pivot Bearings: Utilizes maintenance-free, high-load bushings to handle repetitive impacts over millions of cycles.
  • Low-Profile Mounting: Engineered to fit between standard conveyor rollers without requiring extensive frame modifications.
