Description HYDRAULIC CYLINDER SNUBBING RETENTION ARRANGEMENT
Technical Field The present application relates generally to hydraulic systems such 5 as those used on work machines including excavators, trucks, or other heavy equipment for construction, farm implements, and other machines adapted for performing work. More particularly, the present application relates to a snubbing system for a hydraulic cylinder that slows the speed of the piston within the cylinder as the piston approaches a cap end of the cylinder. Still more 10 particularly, the present application relates to a retention system for a snubbing element arranged on a piston within a hydraulic cylinder.
Background Hydraulic cylinders generally include a cylinder with a piston arranged therein that is configured to articulate back and forth within the cylinder 15 based on the flow of hydraulic fluid into and out of the cylinder. A rod may be secured to the piston and be adapted to do work based on movement of the piston. For example, the rod may extend out an end of the cylinder and be secured at an opposite end to an implement such as an excavation tool, a truck bed, or another actuatable element. In an effort to cushion or control the speed of 20 the piston as it approaches a cap end or a rod end of the cylinder, or both, snubbing features may be provided. In some cases, snubbing may be provided outside of the cylinder and may be in the form of restricted orifices in a hydraulic valve used to control the cylinder, for example. The restricted orifices may slow the exit of hydraulic fluid from the cylinder and, thus, slow the speed of the 25 piston. In other cases, snubbing may be provided within the cylinder by restricting the flow of hydraulic fluid leading to a port on the cylinder, for example.
In some particular designs, snubbing within a hydraulic cylinder may include a sleeve placed over the rod on one or both sides of the piston.

In other cases, snubbing may be provided within the cylinder by restricting the flow of hydraulic fluid leading to a port on the cylinder, for example.
In some particular designs, snubbing within a hydraulic cylinder may include a sleeve placed over the rod on one or both sides of the piston.
The
-2-sleeve may extend away from the piston for a relatively short distance along the rod and may provide an increased diameter of the rod The cap end and rod end of the cylinder may include a snubbing bore that the sleeve is inserted into as the piston approaches a respective end of the cylinder. A hydraulic port may be 5 provided in the snubbing bore and the relatively tight fit of the sleeve in the snubbing bore may restrict the flow of hydraulic fluid through the reduced annular area around the sleeve a to the port.
The sleeves placed over the rod may be secured in place with snap rings, retainer rings, and other securing mechanisms. Side loading, vibration, 10 and/or impact loading of the hydraulic cylinder can dislodge the snap rings, retainer rings and other securing mechanisms. Once dislodged, the securing mechanisms can become broken apart within the cylinder and can contaminate the hydraulic fluid and damage the inner workings of the cylinder.

A throttling device is arranged on an end face of one end of the cylinder sleeve close to the piston, and a throttling member is arranged in the throttling orifice. A buffering sleeve is sleeved on the piston rod, a first stair is arranged at a position on the outer circumference of the piston rod, the buffering sleeve is sleeved on the position, 20 and a second stair is arranged on the inner circumference of the buffering sleeve.
The outer circumference of one end of the buffering sleeve close to the cylinder sleeve is a cone face. The high-pressure oil cylinder has the advantages of being capable of achieving gradually throttling, remitting the impact of the piston to the cylinder barrel, lowering the starting pressure during starting of the oil cylinder 25 and the like.
Summary In one or more embodiments, a hydraulic cylinder may include a housing having a rod end and a cap end and the cap end may include a snubbing bore. The cylinder may also include a rod having a working end outside the 30 housing and extending through a rod end of the cylinder to a piston end.

Detailed Description FIG 1 is a perspective view of a work machine 100. As shown, 10 the work machine 100 may be an excavator that is well suited for digging and/or lifting material and loading trucks, for example. Still other types of work machines including trucks with articulating truck beds, skid steers, or other work machines having hydraulic systems may be provided. The work machine 100 may include a plurality of ground supporting traction elements 102 (e.g., wheels, 15 tracks, skid feet, etc.) for translating the work machine 100 relative to a supporting surface. The traction elements 102 may include a pair of tracks and a bridge may extend between the tracks and pivotally support a machine deck 104.
The machine deck may include an engine house 106 for providing power to machine, a cab 108 for interacting with an operator to control the work machine, 20 and a lift arm base 110 for pivotal attachment of a primary or inner lift arm 112.
The primary or inner lift arm may be a pivoting lift arm extending away from the machine deck 104 to a knuckle 114, where a secondary or outer lift arm 116 may pivotally extend. The secondary or outer lift arm 116 may extend away from the primary or inner lift arm 112 to an opposite end where a bucket 118 may be 25 pivotally secured.
As shown, the work machine 100 may include a hydraulic system for operating the lift arms 112/114 and bucket 118. For example, the hydraulic system may include a pair of hydraulic cylinders 120 arranged on either side of the primary lift arm 112. This pair of hydraulic cylinders 120 may extend to 30 pivot the primary lift arm 112 upward and retract to pivot the primary lift arm 112 downward. An additional hydraulic cylinder 120 may be arranged on the primary lift arm 112 and secured to a lever 122 on the secondary lift arm 116.
This hydraulic cylinder 120 may extend to cause the outer lift arm 116 to curl inward relative to the primary lift arm 112 and may retract to straighten the outer 5 lift arm 116 relative to the primary lift arm 112. Still a third hydraulic cylinder 120 may be arranged on the outer lift arm 116 and may be secured to a lever of the bucket 118. This hydraulic cylinder 120 may extend to cause the bucket to curl inward relative to the outer lift arm 116 and may retract to straighten the bucket relative to the outer lift arm 116. The hydraulic system may include a 10 hydraulic fluid tank, a pump for delivering fluid to the system, and a control valve for controlling the routing of the hydraulic fluid to and from the cylinders from the pump and back to the tank.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a cross-section of a hydraulic cylinder 120, such as one of the hydraulic cylinders 120 of the work machine 100 of FIG.
15 1, is shown. The hydraulic cylinder 120 may be configured to extend and retract a rod to perform work such as pivoting a lift arm or a bucket of the work machine. As shown, the hydraulic cylinder may include a housing 126, a rod 128, a piston 130, and one or more ports 132 for delivering and/or receiving hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic cylinder 120.
20 With continued reference to FIG. 2, the housing 126 may be configured to contain and withstand relatively high fluid pressures and guide the piston 130 along a pathway allowing the piston 130 to articulate back and forth through a stroke length based on fluid flow on one more sides of the piston The housing 126 may include a cylinder wall 134 defining a longitudinally 25 extending cylinder. The housing may also include a cap end 136 and a rod end 138. The cap end 136 may be a substantially closed end of the cylinder having a port 132 for the introduction or ejection of hydraulic fluid.

The
FIG. 8 is a diagram of a method of manufacturing the hydraulic cylinder of FIG. 2, according to one or more embodiments.
Detailed Description FIG 1 is a perspective view of a work machine 100. As shown, 10 the work machine 100 may be an excavator that is well suited for digging and/or lifting material and loading trucks, for example. Still other types of work machines including trucks with articulating truck beds, skid steers, or other work machines having hydraulic systems may be provided. The work machine 100 may include a plurality of ground supporting traction elements 102 (e.g., wheels, 15 tracks, skid feet, etc.) for translating the work machine 100 relative to a supporting surface. The traction elements 102 may include a pair of tracks and a bridge may extend between the tracks and pivotally support a machine deck 104.
The machine deck may include an engine house 106 for providing power to machine, a cab 108 for interacting with an operator to control the work machine, 20 and a lift arm base 110 for pivotal attachment of a primary or inner lift arm 112.
The primary or inner lift arm may be a pivoting lift arm extending away from the machine deck 104 to a knuckle 114, where a secondary or outer lift arm 116 may pivotally extend. The secondary or outer lift arm 116 may extend away from the primary or inner lift arm 112 to an opposite end where a bucket 118 may be 25 pivotally secured.
As shown, the work machine 100 may include a hydraulic system for operating the lift arms 112/114 and bucket 118. For example, the hydraulic system may include a pair of hydraulic cylinders 120 arranged on either side of the primary lift arm 112. This pair of hydraulic cylinders 120 may extend to 30 pivot the primary lift arm 112 upward and retract to pivot the primary lift arm 112 downward. An additional hydraulic cylinder 120 may be arranged on the primary lift arm 112 and secured to a lever 122 on the secondary lift arm 116.
This hydraulic cylinder 120 may extend to cause the outer lift arm 116 to curl inward relative to the primary lift arm 112 and may retract to straighten the outer 5 lift arm 116 relative to the primary lift arm 112. Still a third hydraulic cylinder 120 may be arranged on the outer lift arm 116 and may be secured to a lever of the bucket 118. This hydraulic cylinder 120 may extend to cause the bucket to curl inward relative to the outer lift arm 116 and may retract to straighten the bucket relative to the outer lift arm 116. The hydraulic system may include a 10 hydraulic fluid tank, a pump for delivering fluid to the system, and a control valve for controlling the routing of the hydraulic fluid to and from the cylinders from the pump and back to the tank.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a cross-section of a hydraulic cylinder 120, such as one of the hydraulic cylinders 120 of the work machine 100 of FIG.
15 1, is shown. The hydraulic cylinder 120 may be configured to extend and retract a rod to perform work such as pivoting a lift arm or a bucket of the work machine. As shown, the hydraulic cylinder may include a housing 126, a rod 128, a piston 130, and one or more ports 132 for delivering and/or receiving hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic cylinder 120.
20 With continued reference to FIG. 2, the housing 126 may be configured to contain and withstand relatively high fluid pressures and guide the piston 130 along a pathway allowing the piston 130 to articulate back and forth through a stroke length based on fluid flow on one more sides of the piston The housing 126 may include a cylinder wall 134 defining a longitudinally 25 extending cylinder. The housing may also include a cap end 136 and a rod end 138. The cap end 136 may be a substantially closed end of the cylinder having a port 132 for the introduction or ejection of hydraulic fluid. The cap end 136 may include a lug 140 for securing the hydraulic cylinder 120 to the work machine 100. In one or more embodiments, the lug 140 may include an eye for receiving 30 a pin or bolt allowing the hydraulic cylinder 120 to pivot relative to its connection to the work machine 100 or implement of the work machine 100. The
-6-rod end 138 may close off of the end of the cylinder with respect to the piston 130 and the hydraulic fluid, but may include a sealed opening 142 for passing through of the rod 128. Like the cap end 136, the rod end 138 may include a port for the introduction or ejection of hydraulic fluid. As may be appreciated, as 5 fluid flows into the hydraulic cylinder at the cap end 136 and out of the hydraulic cylinder at the rod end 138, the piston 130 may articulate within the housing to drive the rod 128 from cylinder and extend the overall length of the hydraulic cylinder 120. As fluid flows out of the cap end 136 and fluid flows into the rod end 138, the piston 130 may articulate within the housing 126 to retract the rod 10 128 into the cylinder and shorten the extension of the overall hydraulic cylinder 120.
With continued reference to FIG. 2, the rod 128 may be secured to the piston 130 and may include a longitudinal element having a diameter smaller than the housing and adapted for sleevably articulating within the housing based 15 on articulation of the piston 130. The rod 128 may be secured to the piston 130 at one end, may extend through the rod end 138 of the housing 126, and may include a lug or other attachment feature 144 on an opposite end. The lug or other attachment feature 144 may allow the rod to be secured to the work machine 100 or an implement of the work machine 100 and the lug may provide 20 for pivoting motion of the connection by way of a pinned or bolted connection, for example.
At the piston end of the rod 128, as shown in FIG. 3, the rod 128 may include coupling features for coupling the rod 128 to the piston 130 and for interacting with a snubber 146, described in more detail below. For example, the 25 piston end of the rod 128 may include a threaded region 148 and be adapted for insertion into and/or through the piston 130 for threadably engaging the piston 130 and the rod 128. In one or more embodiments, the rod 128 may include a piston shoulder 150 that acts as a stop for the piston 130 and against which the piston may be forced to tighten the piston 130 onto the rod 128. The rod 128 30 may also include an extension portion or mandrel 152 that extends through and beyond the piston 130 when the piston 130 is secured to the rod 128. The
With continued reference to FIG. 2, the rod 128 may be secured to the piston 130 and may include a longitudinal element having a diameter smaller than the housing and adapted for sleevably articulating within the housing based 15 on articulation of the piston 130. The rod 128 may be secured to the piston 130 at one end, may extend through the rod end 138 of the housing 126, and may include a lug or other attachment feature 144 on an opposite end. The lug or other attachment feature 144 may allow the rod to be secured to the work machine 100 or an implement of the work machine 100 and the lug may provide 20 for pivoting motion of the connection by way of a pinned or bolted connection, for example.
At the piston end of the rod 128, as shown in FIG. 3, the rod 128 may include coupling features for coupling the rod 128 to the piston 130 and for interacting with a snubber 146, described in more detail below. For example, the 25 piston end of the rod 128 may include a threaded region 148 and be adapted for insertion into and/or through the piston 130 for threadably engaging the piston 130 and the rod 128. In one or more embodiments, the rod 128 may include a piston shoulder 150 that acts as a stop for the piston 130 and against which the piston may be forced to tighten the piston 130 onto the rod 128. The rod 128 30 may also include an extension portion or mandrel 152 that extends through and beyond the piston 130 when the piston 130 is secured to the rod 128. The
-7-mandrel 152 may be adapted to receive and hold the snubber 146. In particular, the mandrel 152 may have a diameter slightly smaller than the threaded region 148 of the piston rod 128. The diameter of the mandrel 152, for example, may range from approximately 72 mm to approximately 76 mm, or from 5 approximately 73 mm to approximately 75 mm, or a diameter of approximately 74 mm may be provided. The smaller diameter of the mandrel may provide a shoulder 154 against which the snubber 146 may be seated to prevent longitudinal motion of the snubber 146 upward or longitudinally into the piston 130. The shoulder 154 between the mandrel 152 and the rod 128 may be 10 positioned relative to the piston shoulder 150 and relative to the longitudinal length of the piston 130 such that the shoulder 154 is arranged within the piston 130 when the piston is secured to the rod 128. As shown in FIG. 5, the narrower size of the mandrel 152 relative to the through bore of the piston 130 may establish an annular recess 156 in the cap side of the piston 130 when the rod 15 is positioned therein. This annular recess 156 may be adapted for connection of the snubber 146. While a threaded connection between the piston 130 and the rod 128 has been described, still other connection or coupling techniques may be used such as a two-part piston that clamps over the rod, laterally extending through bolts or dowels, set screws, a flanged and bolted connection, or other 20 attachment techniques.
As shown in FIG. 2, the piston 130 may be arranged within the housing 126 and may be adapted to articulate through the housing 126 based on fluid flow into and out of the housing 126 on either side of the piston The piston 130 may sealingly engage the inner wall of the housing 126 so as to avoid, 25 reduce, or minimize fluid flow passed the piston 130 within the housing 126. As such, as fluid pressures build up on one side of the piston 130 and exceed fluid pressures on the opposite side of the piston 130, the piston 130 may propagate toward the lower pressure side. In one or more embodiments, the piston 130 may be a cylindrical element having an outer diameter only slightly smaller than the 30 inner diameter of the cylinder wall of the housing 126. One or more seals 158
As shown in FIG. 2, the piston 130 may be arranged within the housing 126 and may be adapted to articulate through the housing 126 based on fluid flow into and out of the housing 126 on either side of the piston The piston 130 may sealingly engage the inner wall of the housing 126 so as to avoid, 25 reduce, or minimize fluid flow passed the piston 130 within the housing 126. As such, as fluid pressures build up on one side of the piston 130 and exceed fluid pressures on the opposite side of the piston 130, the piston 130 may propagate toward the lower pressure side. In one or more embodiments, the piston 130 may be a cylindrical element having an outer diameter only slightly smaller than the 30 inner diameter of the cylinder wall of the housing 126. One or more seals 158
-8-may be arranged on the piston 130 to provide the sealing engagement with the inner surface of the housing 126.
With reference to FIG. 4, the piston 130 may include a through bore 160 for receiving and engaging the rod 126. That is, as mentioned, the 5 piston 130 may threadably engage the rod 126 and, as such, may include a threaded through bore 160 adapted to threadably secure the piston 130 to the rod 128. In one or more embodiments, the through bore may have a diameter ranging from approximately 95 mm to approximately 99 mm, or from approximately 96 mm to approximately 98 mm, or a diameter of approximately 97 mm may be 10 provided. In one or more embodiments several different diameters may be provided. In one or more embodiments, and as described in more detail below, the piston 130 may include a snubber 146 on one or both sides of the piston allowing for snubbing or cushioning of the piston 130 as it approaches the cap end 136 and rod end 138 of the cylinder 120. For purposes of engaging the 15 snubber 146, the bore 160, at the cap side of the piston 130, may include a retainer lip 162 adapted to secure the snubber 146.

In one or more embodiments, the retainer lip 162 may define a reduced bore diameter ranging from approximately 88 mm to approximately 90 mm, or a reduced bore diameter 20 of approximately 89 mm may be provided. In one or more embodiments, a circumferential groove 164 extending radially into the inside surface of the bore 160 may also be provided just longitudinally inside or adjacent the retainer lip 162 to provide room for lateral play or movement of the snubber_ In one or more embodiments, the groove depth beyond the inner bore diameter may range from 25 approximately 2mm to approximately 8 mm, or from approximately 3 mm to approximately 6 mm, or a groove depth of approximately 4 mm may be provided.

The ports 132 may provide for
With reference to FIG. 4, the piston 130 may include a through bore 160 for receiving and engaging the rod 126. That is, as mentioned, the 5 piston 130 may threadably engage the rod 126 and, as such, may include a threaded through bore 160 adapted to threadably secure the piston 130 to the rod 128. In one or more embodiments, the through bore may have a diameter ranging from approximately 95 mm to approximately 99 mm, or from approximately 96 mm to approximately 98 mm, or a diameter of approximately 97 mm may be 10 provided. In one or more embodiments several different diameters may be provided. In one or more embodiments, and as described in more detail below, the piston 130 may include a snubber 146 on one or both sides of the piston allowing for snubbing or cushioning of the piston 130 as it approaches the cap end 136 and rod end 138 of the cylinder 120. For purposes of engaging the 15 snubber 146, the bore 160, at the cap side of the piston 130, may include a retainer lip 162 adapted to secure the snubber 146. The retainer lip 162 may reduce the diameter of the bore 160 at the cap side edge. In one or more embodiments, the retainer lip 162 may define a reduced bore diameter ranging from approximately 88 mm to approximately 90 mm, or a reduced bore diameter 20 of approximately 89 mm may be provided. In one or more embodiments, a circumferential groove 164 extending radially into the inside surface of the bore 160 may also be provided just longitudinally inside or adjacent the retainer lip 162 to provide room for lateral play or movement of the snubber_ In one or more embodiments, the groove depth beyond the inner bore diameter may range from 25 approximately 2mm to approximately 8 mm, or from approximately 3 mm to approximately 6 mm, or a groove depth of approximately 4 mm may be provided.
As shown in FIG. 2, the port or ports 132 of the hydraulic cylinder 120 may be adapted to deliver or receive hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic cylinder 120 and may be arranged at opposite ends of the housing 126 (i.e., one at 30 the cap end 136 and one at the rod end 138). The ports 132 may provide for
-9-connection of hydraulic fluid lines and may provide the pathway for hydraulic fluid to enter and exit the hydraulic cylinder 120.
Referring now to FIG. 5, a close up view of the interaction between the piston 130 and the cap end 136 of the cylinder 120 is shown. The 5 cap end 136 of the cylinder 120 may be adapted for securing the cylinder 120 to the work machine 100 or an implement thereof, containing cylinder pressure, and providing a port 132 for hydraulic fluid. As shown, the cap end 136 may include a bulkhead casting 166 adapted for securing to the housing 126. As shown, the bulkhead casting 166 may be welded to the cylinder wall 134 at a
Referring now to FIG. 5, a close up view of the interaction between the piston 130 and the cap end 136 of the cylinder 120 is shown. The 5 cap end 136 of the cylinder 120 may be adapted for securing the cylinder 120 to the work machine 100 or an implement thereof, containing cylinder pressure, and providing a port 132 for hydraulic fluid. As shown, the cap end 136 may include a bulkhead casting 166 adapted for securing to the housing 126. As shown, the bulkhead casting 166 may be welded to the cylinder wall 134 at a
10 circumferentially extending weld 168. The bulkhead casting 166 may include a piston stop surface 170. A snubbing bore 172 may extend through the piston stop surface 170 defining the piston stop surface as an annular surface. The snubbing bore 172 may be smaller in diameter than the inner diameter of the cylinder wall 134 and may be sized and adapted to receive a snubber 146 on a cap side of the 15 piston 130. In one or more embodiments, the snubbing bore 172 may have a diameter similar to the reduced bore diameter of the piston created by the retainer lip 162. In one or more embodiments, the snubbing bore may have a diameter ranging from approximately 88 mm to approximately 90 mm, or a reduced bore diameter of approximately 89 mm may be provided.
20 With continued reference to FIG. 5, the port 132 for introducing and receiving hydraulic fluid into the and out of the cylinder may include one or more pathways within the bulkhead casting 166. For example, as shown, the port 132 may include a main fluid filling bore 174 extending from a hose nipple on an outer surface of the bulkhead casting 166 up to and through the annular stop 25 surface.
This bore 174 may be relatively large and may allow for generally free flow of fluid into the hydraulic cylinder when the rod 128 is being extended.
However, this relatively large fluid filling bore may include a check valve such as a ball valve that closes when fluid is flowing out of the cylinder. In this situation, fluid flow out of the cylinder may flow into the snubbing bore 172 and 30 out of an exit bore 176 extending from the snubbing bore 172 to the hose nipple on the outside surface of the bulkhead casting 166.

11 With continued reference to FIG. 5, a snubber 146 is shown on the cap side of the piston 130. As shown and as mentioned above, the rod 128 may extend through the piston 130 and create a mandrel 152 for receiving the snubber 146 on a cap side of the piston 130. The snubber 146 may be adapted to 5 sleevably engage the mandrel 152. During operation, the snubber 146 may be adapted to substantially fill the snubbing bore 172 of the cap end 136 as the piston 130 approaches the cap end 136 of the cylinder 120 and, as such, restrict fluid flow to the exit bore 176 causing the travel speed of the piston toward the cap end 136 to slow down. The snubber 146 may include a sleeve portion 178 10 and a flange portion 180 and is shown in detail in FIGS. 6 and 7.
As shown, the sleeve portion 178 of the snubber 146 may include a cylindrical sleeve wall extending longitudinally along the mandrel portion of the rod 128 extending beyond the piston 130. The cylindrical sleeve wall may have an inner diameter 182 slightly larger than the mandrel 152 and may be 15 adapted for a loose or slipping engagement with the rod. For example, the inner diameter 182 of the cylindrical sleeve wall may range from approximately 73 mm to approximately 77 mm, or from approximately 74 mm to approximately 76 mm, or a diameter of approximately 75 mm may be provided. This may be compared to the mandrel diameter of approximately 74 mm providing for a small 20 gap providing for a loose fit of the snubber 146 on the mandrel 152. The cylindrical sleeve wall 178 may have an outer diameter 186 adapted to substantially fill the snubbing bore 172. For example, the outer diameter may range from approximately 86 mm to approximately 90 mm, or from approximately 87 mm to approximately 89 mm, or an outer diameter of 25 approximately 88 mm may be provided. When compared to the snubbing bore diameter of approximately 89 mm, a small gap between the outside of the snubber 146 and the snubbing bore 172 may be provided. It is to be appreciated that to allow for sleeving the piston 130 over the snubber 146 during assembly, the outer diameter of the cylindrical sleeve wall 178 may be slightly smaller than 30 the reduced bore diameter provided at the retainer lip 162 on the bore of the piston. It is to be further appreciated that as cylinder size and capacities change, the housing, rod, and piston size may change and, as such, the snubbing bore and snubber may be increased or decreased in size accordingly. The sleeve wall 178 may include a free end and a piston end. The free end may include a chamfered nose 184 extending around the circumference of the sleeve wall. The chamfered 5 nose 184 may create a tapered end on the snubber 146 and provide a centering function as the snubber 146 approaches and engages the snubbing bore 172. The piston end of the sleeve wall 178 may be secured to the flange portion 180 of the snubber 146.
The flange portion 180 of the snubber may be adapted for engagement with the piston 130 to secure the snubber 146 to the piston 130 and about the rod 128 or mandrel portion 152 of the rod 128. The connection to the piston 130 may be a relatively loose fit connection to maintain the snubber free to rotate about the mandrel 152 and free to move slightly longitudinally.
As shown, the flange portion 180 may include a radially outward extending plate 15 forming a circumferential edge 188, a mandrel side annular face 190 and a piston side annular face 192. The diameter of the circumferential outer edge 188 may be selected for sleevingly passing through the bore 160 of the piston 130 (e.g., smaller than the bore), but for catching on the cap side retainer lip 162 of the bore of the piston 130. The groove 164 on the inside surface of the piston 130 may be 20 slightly larger than the diameter of the circumferential outer edge 188 (e.g., the groove haying a diameter larger than the bore) and may allow for lateral play in the snubber 146 relative to the piston 130. In one or more embodiments, the circumferential outer edge 188 may have a diameter ranging from approximately 93 mm to approximately 97 mm, or approximately 94 mm to approximately 96 25 mm, or a diameter of approximately 95 mm may be provided. The larger diameter of the (e.g., 95 mm) flange of the snubber as compared to the reduced bore diameter of the piston (e.g., 89 mm), may place the mandrel side annular face 190 in bearing with the inside surface of the retainer lip 162 when the piston is sleeved over the snubber 146.
30 It is to be appreciated that the piston 130 and the snubber 146 may be considered a snubbing assembly. In one or more embodiments, the rod 128
As shown, the sleeve portion 178 of the snubber 146 may include a cylindrical sleeve wall extending longitudinally along the mandrel portion of the rod 128 extending beyond the piston 130. The cylindrical sleeve wall may have an inner diameter 182 slightly larger than the mandrel 152 and may be 15 adapted for a loose or slipping engagement with the rod. For example, the inner diameter 182 of the cylindrical sleeve wall may range from approximately 73 mm to approximately 77 mm, or from approximately 74 mm to approximately 76 mm, or a diameter of approximately 75 mm may be provided. This may be compared to the mandrel diameter of approximately 74 mm providing for a small 20 gap providing for a loose fit of the snubber 146 on the mandrel 152. The cylindrical sleeve wall 178 may have an outer diameter 186 adapted to substantially fill the snubbing bore 172. For example, the outer diameter may range from approximately 86 mm to approximately 90 mm, or from approximately 87 mm to approximately 89 mm, or an outer diameter of 25 approximately 88 mm may be provided. When compared to the snubbing bore diameter of approximately 89 mm, a small gap between the outside of the snubber 146 and the snubbing bore 172 may be provided. It is to be appreciated that to allow for sleeving the piston 130 over the snubber 146 during assembly, the outer diameter of the cylindrical sleeve wall 178 may be slightly smaller than 30 the reduced bore diameter provided at the retainer lip 162 on the bore of the piston. It is to be further appreciated that as cylinder size and capacities change, the housing, rod, and piston size may change and, as such, the snubbing bore and snubber may be increased or decreased in size accordingly. The sleeve wall 178 may include a free end and a piston end. The free end may include a chamfered nose 184 extending around the circumference of the sleeve wall. The chamfered 5 nose 184 may create a tapered end on the snubber 146 and provide a centering function as the snubber 146 approaches and engages the snubbing bore 172. The piston end of the sleeve wall 178 may be secured to the flange portion 180 of the snubber 146.
The flange portion 180 of the snubber may be adapted for engagement with the piston 130 to secure the snubber 146 to the piston 130 and about the rod 128 or mandrel portion 152 of the rod 128. The connection to the piston 130 may be a relatively loose fit connection to maintain the snubber free to rotate about the mandrel 152 and free to move slightly longitudinally.
As shown, the flange portion 180 may include a radially outward extending plate 15 forming a circumferential edge 188, a mandrel side annular face 190 and a piston side annular face 192. The diameter of the circumferential outer edge 188 may be selected for sleevingly passing through the bore 160 of the piston 130 (e.g., smaller than the bore), but for catching on the cap side retainer lip 162 of the bore of the piston 130. The groove 164 on the inside surface of the piston 130 may be 20 slightly larger than the diameter of the circumferential outer edge 188 (e.g., the groove haying a diameter larger than the bore) and may allow for lateral play in the snubber 146 relative to the piston 130. In one or more embodiments, the circumferential outer edge 188 may have a diameter ranging from approximately 93 mm to approximately 97 mm, or approximately 94 mm to approximately 96 25 mm, or a diameter of approximately 95 mm may be provided. The larger diameter of the (e.g., 95 mm) flange of the snubber as compared to the reduced bore diameter of the piston (e.g., 89 mm), may place the mandrel side annular face 190 in bearing with the inside surface of the retainer lip 162 when the piston is sleeved over the snubber 146.
30 It is to be appreciated that the piston 130 and the snubber 146 may be considered a snubbing assembly. In one or more embodiments, the rod 128
-12-may be part of the snubbing assembly as well. It is to be further appreciated that while the snubber 146 has been shown and described as being arranged on the cap side of the piston 130, the snubber 146 may alternatively be arranged on the rod side of the piston 130.
Still other variations of the system and/or 5 combinations of parts of the system may be provided.
The presently disclosed snubbing system may involve a new method of assembly 200 as shown in FIG. 8. For example, a method of assembling a hydraulic cylinder 200 may include sliding a gland over a hydraulic rod 201. The method may also include placing a snubber on a mandrel of a 10 hydraulic rod 202. The snubber may include a relatively loose fitting sleeve portion providing for generally free rotation about the mandrel when seated thereon. The rod may include a snubber shoulder and the snubber may include a flange portion and placing the snubber on the mandrel may include advancing the flange against the snubber shoulder 204. The method may also include slipping 15 or sleevably sliding a piston over the assembled mandrel and snubber 206 and threading the piston onto a piston end of the hydraulic rod 208. The threading may include advancing the piston by threading until a rod end of the piston is tightly seated against a piston shoulder of the rod. A retainer lip on the cap end of the rod bore of the piston may pull the flange portion of the snubber into 20 juxtaposition with the snubber shoulder, but may avoid pinching the flange portion of the snubber such that the snubber remains generally free to rotated on the mandrel and to move laterally slightly. The relatively loose fit of the snubber on the mandrel, the groove inboard of the retainer lip relative to the circumferential edge of the flange portion of the snubber, and the inner diameter 25 of the retainer lip relative to the outer diameter of the snubber sleeve portion may all participate in providing clearance for the snubber to move laterally relatively freely within defined tolerances. As such, when the piston approaches the cap end of the cylinder, the snubber may engage the snubber bore of the cap, the chamfered nose on the free end of the sleeve portion of the snubber may provide 30 a centering function allowing the snubber to align with the snubber bore and enter the snubber bore to cushion the approach of the piston.
Still other variations of the system and/or 5 combinations of parts of the system may be provided.

-13-The method of assembly may also include welding a lug or other connection feature onto the exposed end of the rod 210 and welding the cap end of the cylinder to the housing 212. The method may also include inserting the piston end of the rod, with the piston and snubber arranged thereon, into the rod 5 end of the housing and advancing the piston toward the cap end 214. The method may also include sliding the rod end of the cylinder over the rod and seating the rod end of the cylinder against the housing. 216 The method may also include bolting or otherwise fastening the gland onto the housing 218 at the rod end.
Further assembly method steps may include flooding the cylinder and purging it 10 of air or other gases, for example.
Industrial Applicability In operation and use, the present hydraulic cylinder may provide for cushioning of the motion of the articulating arms of an excavator, for example, as the cylinders moving the arms are retracted and the piston within the 15 cylinder approaches the cap end of the cylinder. In situations where the cylinder travel has a relatively high speed, this may be advantageous to avoid abrupt stops of the travel, which can cause spillage of material, dropping of material, long term wear or even immediate damage to the hydraulic system due to impacts and pressure spikes, for example. The nature of the presently described snubber 20 assembly may be advantageous by avoiding free floating or loosened or released parts that may get damaged during operation of the hydraulic cylinder and contaminate the hydraulic fluid system. That is, with the absence or reduction of one or more rings, retainer rings, snap rings, and the like in the presently disclosed design, these elements of the system may not be available to break free 25 and get pulverized by the piston and rod motion and contaminate the hydraulic fluid.
The above detailed description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. The scope of the disclosure should, therefore, be determined with references to the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to 30 which such claims are entitled.
