  • High output hydraulic cylinder and piston arrangement
    Patent number: 10138912
    Abstract: Reciprocally moving an output rod mounted to a force transfer member includes applying hydraulic pressure to a first piston and cylinder device to operate the first piston and cylinder device in compression to move the force transfer member in a first direction; applying hydraulic pressure to a second piston and cylinder device to operate the second piston and cylinder device in compression to move the force transfer member in an opposite second direction; refraining from applying tension to the second piston and cylinder device while applying hydraulic pressure to the first piston and cylinder device; and refraining from applying tension to the first piston and cylinder device while applying hydraulic pressure to the second piston and cylinder device.
    Type: Grant

  • Plunger-type wire riser tensioner
    Patent number: 9353581
    Abstract: Certain types of riser tensioner arrangements include a high-pressure accumulator; a pusher-type hydraulic cylinder; a first flow path coupling the high-pressure accumulator with a first volume of the cylinder to enable a first high-pressure fluid to flow therebetween; and a second flow path coupling the high-pressure accumulator with a second volume of the cylinder to enable a second high-pressure fluid to flow therebetween. The piston includes a seat and a hollow extension that defines part of the second volume of the cylinder.
