  • Patent number: 9038527
    Abstract: In a fluid pressure cylinder, a piston is displaced in an axial direction under the action of a pressure fluid. A circular protrusion, which projects toward the piston along an axial direction of the cylinder tube, is formed on an inner end surface of a collar member constituting part of the fluid pressure cylinder, a concavity, which can be fitted externally over the circular protrusion, is formed on the piston, and an annular groove is formed on an inner circumferential edge of an end plate. By the piston coming into contact with the end plate, a pressure receiving chamber is formed between the piston and the annular groove, together with an opening of a second port on an inner side of the cylinder tube being closed to a maximum of 90%.

  • Patent number: 6371460
    Abstract: A cylindrical stopper for determining a stop position of a workpiece by a contact portion at a tip end of the stopper is mounted to a workpiece transferring device such that the stop position of the workpiece can be adjusted by forward and rearward movement of the stopper and a columnar absorber main body for absorbing and cushioning collision energy generated when the workpiece comes into contact with the stopper is mounted in the stopper such that a relationship between positions of a shock-absorbing portion at a tip end of the absorber main body and the contact portion at the tip end of the stopper with respect to each other can be adjusted.

  • Patent number: 5943939
    Abstract: A fluid pressure cylinder wherein the configuration of a gasket groove for dividing a flow path is changed such that a first communicating passage (and a piping port), a cushion valve inserting hole (and a cushion valve control hole), etc. can be disposed to be close to or coincident with each other in the axial direction. The first communicating passage and the cushion valve inserting hole for a cushion valve are disposed to be close to or coincident with each other in the axial direction and displaced relative to each other at a predetermined angle with respect to the center line of the cylinder. The outer peripheral surface of an end cover is provided with a gasket groove having a predetermined width in the axial direction to divide the first communicating passage and the cushion valve inserting hole from each other. The gasket groove is fitted with a gasket.
