ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic spring for damping movement of a machine part having a guide shaft for performing a stroke. The spring includes a housing containing gas. The housing is formed as a stationary body with a central opening adapted to accommodate the guide shaft. Several cylindrical bores are formed within the stationary body. A piston is peripherally guided within each cylindrical bore. Each piston has a center point located on a circle which is concentrically oriented with the central opening. The pistons contact the machine part with an upper support end so that all the pistons jointly perform a stroke with the machine part. Alternatively, the cylindrical bores are. selectively equipped with sealing disks instead of pistons, to adjust the resistance force characteristic of the spring.
