Provided is a half nut opening/closing device that makes it possible to easily secure engagement between a tie rod and a half nut even if the tie rod to be engaged is bent. The half nut opening/closing device according to the present invention includes a half nut including a half nut piece and a half nut piece that are moved between a closed position and an open position and engage with a tie rod at the closed position, and an alignment roller that is provided on one or both of the half nut piece and the half nut piece, and is configured to convert moving force, of that the half nut piece and the half nut piece move to the closed position, into upward force in a vertical direction to lift and align the tie rod.

The present invention provides a parting locking device configured such that a locking member can be uncoupled from a base holder even with a locking bar inserted in the locking member, and the locking bar stably moves. The locking bar includes a thick-walled and thin-walled portions. In a first state in which the thick-walled portion is located between an engagement element and the inner surface of a bar inserting hole, and in a third state in which the locking bar is pulled out of the locking member, the engagement element is moved to first or second engagement element paths, and the locking member is uncoupled from the base holder. In a second state in which the thin-walled portion is located between the engagement element and the inner surface of the bar inserting hole (9), the engagement element is engaged with engagement recesses, thereby keeping the locking member coupled to the base holder.

An actuator (100) for a molding system (900) is disclosed. The actuator (100) includes a linear actuator (102). The linear actuator (102) is configured to move a payload (160) relative to a support structure (170). The linear actuator (102) is connectable to the support structure (170) and the payload (160). The actuator (100) also includes a first compensator (104). The first compensator (104) is configured to compensate for a relative misalignment between the linear actuator (102) and the payload (160). The actuator (100) further includes a second compensator (106). The second compensator (106) is configured to compensate for a relative misalignment between the linear actuator (102) and the support structure (170).
