Publication number: 20220307230Abstract: A cylinder has a piston part, a cylinder part, and a pipe section connected to the piston or cylinder parts. A portion of the pipe section encloses a pressure compartment which receives a fluid to apply a pressure on a pressure surface so the piston part is displaced in a first stroke direction. A first return pressure compartment receives a fluid to apply a pressure on a first return pressure surface so that the piston part is displaced in a second return stroke direction. The first return pressure compartment is positioned on the outside of the pipe section, and the area of the first return pressure surface is substantially equal to the area of the return pressure surface so that a volume-neutral operation of the cylinder is provided. Also described is a hydraulic system, an excavator comprising the cylinder and a procedure for operation of the cylinder.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2020Publication date: September 29, 2022Applicant: Elmaco ASInventor: Per Olav Haughom
