  • Patent number: 11953033
    Abstract: A working cylinder has a cushioned end-stroke. The piston unit has a piston main part and a ring body. The exterior of the ring body receives a piston ring with a piston ring gap, and the ring opening of the ring body receives a guiding pin of the piston main part. A ring gap is formed between the ring body and the guiding pin, and the ring body has axial and radial play relative to the piston main part. The ring body has an axial ring surface on the piston main part side, and the piston main part has an axial counter ring surface on the ring body side opposite the axial ring surface. The piston unit is constructed so that during an inward movement into the cushioning zone, the piston ring passes axially over the pressure medium connection and the piston unit encloses a damping pressure medium volume. The piston unit is in a first operating state during an inward movement and a second operating state during an outward movement.

  • Patent number: 10927862
    Abstract: A double-acting overflow valve of a working cylinder includes a housing with an encompassing wall and a first and a second axial delimiting wall disposed opposite one another. A first valve body has a first valve tappet with a conical shape and passes through the first axial bore to define a first annular gap with a gap width that is dependent on a position of the first valve body along an actuation path thereof. A second valve body has a second valve tappet with a conical shape and passes through the second axial bore to a second annular gap with a gap width that is dependent on a position of the second valve body along an actuation path thereof. A first and second counter bearing are provided. A first actuating element defines a maximum actuation path of the first valve body by acting on the first counter bearing. A second actuating element defines a maximum actuation path of the second valve body by acting on the second counter bearing.

  • Patent number: 10865815
    Abstract: A screw-threaded working cylinder includes a tubular cylinder that an end region. The end region has a first thread. The end region has a tapered wall section and the tapered wall section has an axial annular surface. A closure has a second thread and the closure is screwed by the second thread into the first thread in a final mounting position. The closure has a mating axial annular surface. The axial annular surface and the mating axial annular surface are pressed in a positive fitting contact to one another in the final mounting position for defining a pressure contact surface. The pressure contact surface defines a sealing plane, and a surface pressure in an area of the pressure contact surface that causes a deformation of the tubular cylinder and the closure. The deformation occurs within an elastic limit over a range from zero applied pressure to a maximum permissible pressure by a pressure medium for the working cylinder. A piston unit is accommodated in the tubular cylinder.

  • Patent number: 9989075
    Abstract: A cylinder has first and second coupling partners. The first coupling partner is a cylindrical tube. The second coupling partner is a closing element. One coupling partner is inserted axially into the other coupling partner. Each of the coupling partners has an annular groove. The groove of the inserted coupling partner is an external groove. The groove of the remaining coupling partner is an internal groove and the grooves of the coupling partners lie opposite one another. The working cylinder includes a spring-loaded coupling ring, and which when deformed in a tensioning direction, can be fully accommodated by the groove of one coupling partner and which, when deformed in the release direction, engages in the grooves of both coupling partners. The inserted coupling partner is oversized in relation to the remaining coupling partner and provides a additional frictional connection.

  • Patent number: 6276884
    Abstract: The invention relates to a threaded pairing, consisting of the assigned threaded parts, for the transmission of axial forces, where the screw thread (5) is filled with the sealing compound (6). The task is to create an axially positionable threaded pairing capable of being turned, a joint which at the same time is sufficiently rigid (by means of frictionally connected flanks) and leak-proof (by filling the positively fitting screw thread with sealing compound (6)).
