ABSTRACT:
Self-equalizing welding structure and method. The structure comprises piston and cylinder structure held in a fixed support, including cylinder ends movable into and out of the opposite ends thereof, a welding electrode attached to one rod cylinder end on one side of a workpiece, a travel rod extending through the support and connected to the other cylinder end, means for securing a second electrode to the travel rod on the other side of the workpiece, and self-equalizing pressure means for extending the cylinder ends from the piston and cylinder structure and for withdrawing them into the piston and cylinder structure. The method of operation comprises applying an actuating medium to the piston and cylinder structure through a single inlet to first cause the one cylinder end to advance the one electrode connected to it into engagement with a workpiece and to then cause the other cylinder end to extend from the piston and cylinder structure to move the travel rod and other electrode into engagement with the other side of the workpiece and to then apply equal pressure to the electrodes on both sides of the workpiece.
