Abstract
In a device for stroke end cushioning and speed regulating the movement of a piston (3) in a fluid pressure cylinder (1,2) a common adjusting means (9) is arranged for simultaneous setting of the throttle means (7,8) for regulating the stroke end cushioning as well as the piston speed, for the purpose of avoiding very time consuming adjustment. In connection with the setting of the adjusting means (9) the ratio between the flow areas of the respective throttle means is held within the range of 10-60%. In the most uncomplicated embodiment the common adjusting means (9) may be comprised by a screw being fixed to the valve bodies of the respective throttle means.
Claims15
Device for stroke end cushioning and speed regulating the movement of a piston (3) in a fluid pressure cylinder (1,2), comprising at least one pair of adjustable throttle means (7,8;23.24;33,34) for throttling of the flow of fluid out from the cylinder, a first throttle means (7;23;33) in said pair for regulating the piston speed being arranged to throttle the outflow of flow through an outlet channel (12;37), a second throttle means (8;24;34) in said pair for stroke end cushioning being arranged to throttle the outflow of fluid through a separate stroke end cushioning channel (11;22;32), and means (5,6a;21;31;64,65) for sealing the flow directly to the first throttle means from a cushioning chamber, being formed in a certain mutual position between the cylinder end wall and the piston, forcing the outflow from said cushioning chamber to pass through the stroke end cushioning channel, characterized in that both of the throttle means in said pair are jointly adjustable by one adjusting means (9;25,26;35) in such a way that the ratio between the flow areas of the second and the first throttle means is held within the range of 10-60%.
