ABSTRACT:
A pressure intensifier unit formed of a low pressure air cylinder and a high pressure hydraulic cylinder joined substantially end-to-end, with a large diameter air piston in the low pressure cylinder and a cylindrical piston, in the form of a straight-sided post, secured to the air piston and extending into the high pressure cylinder. An annular gland is provided at the junction between the cylinders for surrounding and sealing the cylindrical piston and for isolating the cylinders from one another. The inner diameter of the high pressure cylinder is greater than the diameter of the cylindrical piston so that, when the cylindrical piston moves into the high pressure cylinder upon application of air to the low pressure cylinder, clearance exists around the cylindrical piston, with hydraulic fluid being volumetrically displaced. The gland serves to mount a pair of axially spaced annular sealing elements with a replenishment port in between them connected to a source of replenishing fluid. The gland and the cylindrical piston are removable to permit substitution of a gland and cylindrical piston of different diameter to vary the intensification ratio.
