Patent number: 10677270Abstract: In an interior of a cylinder tube of a fluid pressure cylinder, a piston unit is provided, which is displaced along an axial direction under the supply of a pressure fluid. The piston unit includes a disk shaped plate body, which is connected to one end of a piston rod, and a ring body connected to an outer edge portion of the plate body. The plate body is connected to the piston rod by plural second rivets, which are punched in an axial direction with respect to the piston rod.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2016Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: SMC CORPORATIONInventors: Yasunaga Suzuki, Chiaki Fukui, Makoto Yaegashi

Patent number: 10670053Abstract: In a piston unit of a fluid pressure cylinder a plurality of magnets are disposed through holes provided in a ring body. The magnets are disposed in facing relation to detection sensors that are mounted on connecting rods, and are provided in the same quantity as the connecting rods. Further, a guide rod extending from a head cover to a rod cover is inserted through the interior of the ring body. When the piston unit is displaced along the cylinder tube, rotational displacement is restricted by the piston unit being displaced along the guide rod, whereby the magnets are retained to face toward the connecting rods at all times. Therefore, the position of the piston unit is detected by the detection sensors through the magnets.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2016Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: SMC CORPORATIONInventors: Yasunaga Suzuki, Chiaki Fukui, Makoto Yaegashi

Patent number: 9194495Abstract: A fluid pressure apparatus includes a piston, and a packing provided on an outer circumference of the piston. The packing includes a support ring made of a low-friction material, and a ring-shaped seal member mounted to the support ring. When at least a certain amount of transverse load acts on the piston, an outer circumferential surface of the support ring abuts against an inner circumferential surface of the slide hole, whereby the piston is prevented from contacting with the inner circumferential surface of the slide hole.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2011Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: SMC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masahiro Okuma, Yasunaga Suzuki

Patent number: 9038527Abstract: In a fluid pressure cylinder, a piston is displaced in an axial direction under the action of a pressure fluid. A circular protrusion, which projects toward the piston along an axial direction of the cylinder tube, is formed on an inner end surface of a collar member constituting part of the fluid pressure cylinder, a concavity, which can be fitted externally over the circular protrusion, is formed on the piston, and an annular groove is formed on an inner circumferential edge of an end plate. By the piston coming into contact with the end plate, a pressure receiving chamber is formed between the piston and the annular groove, together with an opening of a second port on an inner side of the cylinder tube being closed to a maximum of 90%.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2012Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: SMC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shun Orihara, Yasunaga Suzuki, Naoki Hoshi, Hiroyuki Asahara

Patent number: 8739684Abstract: In a fluid pressure apparatus, a packing includes an annular seal member made of an elastic material, and support rings made of a low-friction material, which are mounted on an outer circumference of the seal member. The seal member includes, on an outer circumference thereof, a sealing projection that contacts an inner surface of the slide hole. The support rings are disposed on both sides of the sealing projection, and protrude beyond the seal member in the axial direction. Outer circumferential surfaces of the support rings always contact the inner circumferential surface of the slide hole. When a transverse load does not act on a piston as a partitioning member, the inner circumferential surfaces of the support rings do not contact the outer circumference of the piston. When a transverse load acts on the piston, the inner circumferential surfaces of the support rings contact the outer circumference of the piston.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2011Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: SMC Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masahiro Okuma, Yasunaga Suzuki
