Abstract

A fluid pressure cylinder includes a cushion bearing provided movably on an outer periphery of the piston rod; a flange portion provided on the piston rod by facing the piston with the cushion bearing between them; and a collar provided movably in a radial direction on the outer periphery of the piston rod between the cushion bearing and the flange portion. End surfaces of the cushion bearing and the collar are inclined symmetrically to a center axis of the piston rod, and end surfaces of the flange portion and the collar are formed having plane shapes crossing the center axis.

Claims (31)

1. A fluid pressure cylinder comprising:

a cylinder tube;

a piston slidably accommodated in the cylinder tube, the piston defining a rod side chamber in the cylinder tube;

a piston rod connected to the piston;

a port communicating with the rod side chamber, the port being configured to supply an operating fluid from an outside to the rod side chamber and discharge the operating fluid in the rod side chamber to the outside;

a cushion bearing provided movably on an outer periphery of the piston rod, the cushion bearing being configured to narrow down the flow of the operating fluid discharged from the rod side chamber through the port when the piston rod reaches a stroke end;

a limiting portion provided on the piston rod by facing the piston with the cushion bearing between them, the limiting portion being configured to limit movement of the cushion bearing in an axial direction; and

a collar provided movably in a radial direction on the outer periphery of the piston rod between the cushion bearing and the limiting portion, wherein

end surfaces of the cushion bearing and the collar faced with each other are inclined symmetrically to a center axis of the piston rod, and

end surfaces of the limiting portion and the collar faced with each other are formed having plane shapes crossing the center axis.

2. The fluid pressure cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein

the cushion bearing and the piston rod have a bearing stepped portion and a first rod stepped portion faced with each other, respectively; and

a dimension from the first rod stepped portion to the piston is smaller than a dimension of the cushion bearing in an axial direction.

3. The fluid pressure cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein

the collar and the piston rod have a collar stepped portion and a second rod stepped portion faced with each other, respectively; and

a dimension from the second rod stepped portion to the piston is smaller than a dimension combining the cushion bearing and the collar in the axial direction.

4. The fluid pressure cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein

an inner peripheral passage is formed between the cushion bearing and the piston rod and between the collar and the piston rod, and the rod side chamber and the port communicate with each other through the inner peripheral passage.

5. The fluid pressure cylinder according to claim 4 , wherein

a communication path allowing the inner peripheral passage and the port to communicate with each other is formed between the collar and the limiting portion.

6. The fluid pressure cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein

the collar is capable of relative movement in the axial direction with respect to the piston rod and has a pressure receiving surface receiving a pressure of the operating fluid supplied from the port in a direction separating from the limiting portion in a state in contact with the limiting portion.

7. The fluid pressure cylinder according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a cylindrical portion provided on the cylinder tube, the cylindrical portion being formed capable of receiving the cushion bearing; and

in a state where the cushion bearing has entered the cylindrical portion, an outer peripheral passage allowing the rod side chamber and the port to communicate with each other is formed between an outer peripheral surface of the cushion bearing and an inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion.

8. The fluid pressure cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein

the piston rod has

a rod body having a rod stepped portion faced with the piston; and

a spacer provided on the outer periphery of the rod body, the spacer ensuring an interval between the piston and the rod stepped portion,

the cushion bearing and the collar are provided on the outer periphery of the spacer, and

the spacer has the limiting portion.
