ABSTRACT:
A terminator for a hydraulic or pneumatic muscle seals the end of the internal elastomeric bladder and provides direct transfer of force between the external braid and a mechanical device to which the terminator is connected. The terminator is provided with an annular land or step at the end that is inserted into the corresponding end of the muscle, a first valley or recess after the first annular land, a second annular land or step adjacent the first recess, a second annular valley or recess adjacent the second land and axially separated from the first recess, and an anchor or attachment portion beyond the second valley or recess which provides a point of attachment for the end of a cable or for a tubular sheath or the like. The bladder is attached to the first recess to form a fluid-tight seal, and the end of the braid continues over this and over the second land, and is attached to the second valley or recess. The attachments can be made using coils or wraps of fishline or equivalent.
