Cushion ring and fluid-pressure cylinder
View Patent ↗A cushion ring which is used between a rod-side cylinder head and a piston rod of a fluid-pressure cylinder and which is externally fitted on the piston rod to cushion a shock in the vicinity of the farthest extended end of cylinder includes a throttling groove that has a V-shaped cross section. The throttling groove extends from an appropriate position of the cushion ring to a rod-side end part and functions to throttle the flow of a working fluid flowing from a rod-side fluid chamber to an input/output port provided in a rod-side cylinder head. The throttling groove is provided at the outer periphery of the cushion ring. The throttling groove terminates at a rod-side end part with an end guide face that guides the working fluid toward a slantwise outward direction of the cushion ring.
1. A cushion ring which is used between a rod-side cylinder head and a piston rod of a fluid-pressure cylinder and is externally fitted on the piston rod to cushion a shock in the vicinity of the farthest extended end of cylinder, wherein
a throttling groove having a V-shaped cross section, which extends from an appropriate position of the cushion ring to a rod-side end part to throttle the flow quantity of working fluid flowing from a rod-side fluid chamber to an input/output port provided in a rod-side cylinder head, is provided at the outer periphery of the cushion ring, and
an end guide face for guiding the working fluid flowing in the throttling groove toward the slantwise outward direction of the cushion ring is provided in the rod-side end part of the throttling groove.
2. A fluid-pressure cylinder using the cushion ring described in claim 1 .
