PHD Escapements Working Principle
PHD twin rod Escapements are internally ported allowing both double-acting stroke rods to be operated by a single four-way valve. An internal locking pin ensures both rods are extended before either rod can retract. This sequenced motion isolates each part prior to releasing it from a magazine or feeder rack.
