Es wird eine Vorrichtung vorgeschlagen, die zur Arretierung von Werkstückträgern, Werkstücken oder dergleichen bei Montagestraßen dient. Die Vorrichtung besitzt einen schwenkbaren Arretierungsnocken (24), der mittels eines Stößels (11) in Haltestellung gebracht wird. Der Stößel (11) wird durch eine Schraubenfeder (22) in die Haltestellung und mittels Druckluft im Druckmittelraum (21) in Ruhestellung gebracht. 1. Device for stopping workpiece carriers, workpieces or similar which are moved along a production line on a conveyor, having a housing (10) which can be attached to the conveyor, in which housing (10) a stop dog (24) is pivotally mounted between a stop position and a continuous position, a controllable power drive (14) acting on the stop dog (24) via an axially guided ram (11) with a ram head (12), and the stop dog (24) being continually under the effect of a restoring force, characterized in that the ram head (12) of the power drive (14), in order to swing the stop dog (24) into the stop position, moves between the pivot bearing (23) of the stop dog (24) and a guide surface (15) arranged on the housing (10) downstream from the pivot bearing (23) as viewed in the direction of conveying, contact surfaces (25) adapted to one another at the stop dog (24) and ram head (12) coming into mutual contact, and the stop dog (24) subsequently being supported at the guide surface (15) by the ram head (12).
