Abstract
Buffer, in particular for a rail vehicle, includes a buffer sleeve, forming a pressure chamber, a jointed head securable to this sleeve on the face side by a connection flange, and a buffer piston rod, mounted opposite in the buffer sleeve to be displaceable longitudinally. The jointed head is connectable in a jointed manner to the rail vehicle, while the buffer piston rod is preferably connectable to a coupling head. The connection flange has an outer thread on its outer casing, screwed to an inner thread in a hole of the buffer sleeve to form a releasable connection of the jointed head with the buffer sleeve. The connection flange preferably has on the front side a centering tip element before the outer thread, which is slid or pressed essentially free of play into the hole of the buffer sleeve.
