Abstract
In a hydrostatic pressure cylinder, a holding member which holds a magnet is mounted on a piston unit to rotate together with a cylinder tube. The cylinder tube is capable of rotating with respect to a rod cover and a head cover. It is thereby possible to change an attachment position of a magnetic sensor by rotating the cylinder tube.
Claims12
A fluid pressure cylinder comprising:
- a cylinder tube including a slide hole with a circular shape inside the cylinder tube;
- a piston unit disposed to be reciprocable along the slide hole;
- a piston rod protruding from the piston unit in an axial direction;
- a magnet having a size corresponding to part of the piston unit in a circumferential direction;
- a holding member that includes a magnet holding portion configured to hold the magnet and that is attached to the piston unit;
- a rotation restriction structure configured to restrict rotation of the holding member relative to the cylinder tube;
- a first cover attached adjacent to one end of the cylinder tube;
- and
- a second cover attached adjacent to another end of the cylinder tube, wherein:
- the cylinder tube is rotatable in the circumferential direction relative to the first and second covers;
- and
- the cylinder tube is provided with a positioning portion enabling a circumferential position of the cylinder tube to be fixed with respect to the first and second covers.
