20150345520 | HYDRAULIC CYLINDER WITH END POSITION DAMPING - A hydraulic cylinder with end position damping includes at least one cylinder in which there is arranged at least one piston which is connected to at least one piston rod and can be moved in the axial direction, wherein the cylinder is subdivided by the piston into a piston side and a rod side and the hydraulic oil necessary for actuating the piston is pumped by a hydraulic pump via inlet and outlet lines through inlet and outlet openings provided on the cylinder, wherein the cylinder is assigned a mechanical prethottling via which, during the movement of the piston, the hydraulic oil can be discharged on the rod side through a first bore until the piston, during its movement, closes the first bore and the hydraulic oil is thus discharged through a second bore, wherein, at a preset pressure, the mechanical prethrottling means forces the hydraulic pump into an electronically regulated pressure cutoff function which reduces the delivery rate of the hydraulic oil and the piston can be moved into its end position in a braked manner. | 12-03-2015 |
