Abstract: A servo drive includes a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder comprises a piston that is mounted in the cylinder and that delimits two working chambers. Relief lines connected to the working chambers via control orifices may aid the definition of the right and left end positions of the piston. The control orifices are exposed by the piston in its respective end positions, thus relieving the pressure in the active working chamber. An end stop, which may be predetermined by the position of the control orifices may be formed by the pressure relief that occurs at the relevant location in the working chamber. Such measure can relieve the pressure in the hydraulic pump, for instance in end stop positions.
