ABSTRACT:
A work cylinder having a piston of single-body construction and a cushioning arrangement integrally formed on the piston includes a cylinder housing having a chamber formed therein divided into first and second work chambers by the piston. First and second piston extensions extend into first and second graduated chamber portions formed at opposite ends of the cylinder housing. A sealing material, bonded to the exterior surface of the piston, exhibits a dual cup-shaped piston seal around the center portion and annular cushion seals on the piston extensions. The cushion seals are at an angle such that, when in contact with a first chamber reduction, a seal results. Additionally, in the opposite direction, the cushion seals act as a check valve whereby fluid pressure introduced to a second chamber reduction depresses the cushion seals and flows into the selected work chamber. When the piston is moving into the second chamber reduction portion, the annular cushion seals channel fluid present in the work chamber to the second chamber reduction portion thereby providing a variable cushioning fluid pressure.
