Abstract: A fluid pressure cylinder includes a cylinder body, a piston accommodated in the cylinder body to define first and second pressure chambers therein, means for supplying fluid to each chamber to reciprocate the piston between a first stroke end and a second stroke end, first and second bumper surfaces, an annular cushion retainer connected to the first bumper surface, and an elastomeric cushion for deforming and cushioning an impact produced when the piston reaches the first stroke end. The bumper surfaces approach each other when the piston reaches the first stroke end and separate from one another when the piston moves toward the second stroke end. The cushion has a shape corresponding generally to a hollow conical section. The cushion includes a base section retained by the cushion retainer and a buffer section joined to the base section. The buffer section has an outer surface for contacting the second bumper surface and an inner surface that faces the first bumper surface.

Abstract: Disclosed is a braking apparatus for a rod-less cylinder. A transfer member (3) arranged outside a cylinder body (1) is coupled to a piston (2) disposed movably within the cylinder body (1), and moves together with the piston (2). A brake rail (8) is arranged on the outer side surface of the cylinder body (1), extending in parallel to the moving direction of the piston (2). A braking member (16) faces the brake rail (8) in such a manner as to be engageable therewith, and disengageable therefrom, and is moved to a contact position where it engages the brake rail (8), and a release position where it disengages from the brake rail (8) by an operation member (17), to accomplish the braking and unbraking of the transfer member (3).
