Abstract
The cylinder device includes a first piston fitted in a first cylinder to be slidable, a piston rod connected to the first piston, and a stopper mechanism which operates when the first piston reaches a predetermined position on a first end portion side of one axial end of the first cylinder during an extension stroke or a compression stroke, in which the stopper mechanism includes a second cylinder provided on the first end portion side of the first cylinder and a second piston provided to be movable according to movement of the piston rod and able to fit into the second cylinder, and one end of the second piston on the first end portion side comes into contact with a rod flange part between a rod first outer diameter part of the piston rod and a rod second outer diameter part.
Claims7
A cylinder device comprising:
- a first cylinder in which a working fluid is sealed;
- a first piston fitted in the first cylinder to be slidable and partitioning an inside of the first cylinder;
- a piston rod connected to the first piston;
- and
- a stopper mechanism operating when the first piston reaches a predetermined position on a first end portion side of one axial end of the first cylinder during an extension stroke or a compression stroke, wherein
- the stopper mechanism includes:
- a second cylinder provided on the first end portion side of the first cylinder and having a smaller diameter than the first cylinder;
- and
- a second piston provided to be movable according to movement of the piston rod and able to fit into the second cylinder,
- one end of the second piston on the first end portion side comes into contact with a rod flange part between a rod first outer diameter part of the piston rod and a rod second outer diameter part having a smaller diameter than the rod first outer diameter part, and
- the other end of the second piston on a side opposite to the first end portion is biased by a biasing part which biases the second piston toward the rod flange part.
