Abstract: The present disclosure describes an operating table with an operating table column and a patient bearing surface arranged on the operating table column, wherein the operating table column comprises a column cladding with at least two rigid components arranged one above the other. The operating table column is designed and configured so that all movable parts of the operating table running inside the operating table column are completely covered laterally. An intermediate space extends from the upper edge of the two components of the column cladding arranged one above the other as far as the patient bearing surface, the intermediate space being a bellows-free space.

Abstract: An operating table column is disclosed. The operating table column includes a column part and a head part configured to connect a patient support surface of an operating table to the column part. The operating table column also includes a power supply unit disposed on the column part for supplying power to the operating table. The head part includes a first head element mounted rotatably about a first rotation axis and a second head element mounted rotatably about a second rotation axis. The column part includes an actuator configured to lift the patient support surface. At least one tube is configured to connect the power supply to the operating table and is protected from exposure to external elements. The actuator includes a cover configured to guide a portion of the at least one tube at least partially through the first head element in an area adjacent to the first rotation axis.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first operating table column member, a second operating table column member that is movable relative to the first operating table member in a longitudinal direction, and a slide member that is attached to an inner surface of the first operating table column member, the slide member having a slide surface. The slide surface is slidably mounted on an outer surface of the second operating table column member, the outer surface of the second operating table column member facing the inner surface of the first operating table column member. A curable sealing compound is disposed in a space between the slide surface of the slide member and the inner surface of the first operating table column member.

Abstract: A double-acting hydraulic cylinder has a first cylinder housing and a piston guided in the first cylinder housing, wherein a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber are provided in the first cylinder housing and are additionally separated from one another by the piston. A first connector serves to feed a hydraulic liquid to the first pressure chamber, and a second connector serves to feed the hydraulic liquid to the second pressure chamber. A second cylinder housing surrounds the first cylinder housing at least in one section. The first connector and the second connector may be arranged at an end of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder which faces away from the second pressure chamber. The second pressure chamber may be loaded with the hydraulic liquid via the section in which the second cylinder housing surrounds the first cylinder housing.

Abstract: An operating table column is disclosed. The operating table column has a base body and an inclination body pivotably supported on the base body, the inclination body pivotable about a first pivot axis. The operating table column also has a tilting body pivotably supported on the inclination body, the tilting body pivotable about a second pivot axis, a first actuating drive assembly that pivots the inclination body about the first pivot axis, and a longitudinally extended, second actuating drive assembly that pivots the tilting body about the second pivot axis. The tilting body is attachable to a patient support surface in a support surface plane. The first actuating drive assembly is connected to the base body and to the inclination body.
