Abstract: A bar pusher rod for bar feeders in automatic lathes provided with an abunt for stopping the advancement of the bar to be machined, a damping element being slidingly accommodated inside the bar pusher, the damping element being composed of a mass with which a decelerator is associated, the damping element being suitable to neutralize the kinetic energy of the bar pusher and of the bar to be machined when impact occurs against the lathe abutment, so as to avoid rebounds off the abutment.

Abstract: The bar feeder comprises an oscillatable magazine in which bars are arran so as to form a substantially vertical plane. A bar pusher is arranged at the top of the magazine; in one angular position of the magazine, the bar pusher pushes the upper bar into the mandrel of the lathe. Another pusher is arranged to the side of the bar pusher and, in the other angular position of the magazine, it pushes the bars towards the machining tools of the lathe. The magazine comprises two walls defined by a series of rods and uprights which can be spaced according to the diameter of the bars.
