  • the force-transmitting member at least partially overlaps the side surfaces of the cylinder tube in an area in which wedge-like guide grooves are incorporated into these side surfaces.
  • the force output member carries guide strips which engage the keyways with correspondingly roof-like guide surfaces. The guide strips can be adjusted perpendicularly to the central plane by means of adjusting screws arranged at right angles to the central plane in the force output member.
  • the guidance of the force-transmitting member on both sides of the slot within the guide groove has one guideway and the other guideway on the outer surface, one guideway being non-adjustable and inclined to The central plane runs, and the other guideway runs parallel to the outer surface and has the guide strip that is adjustable in the direction perpendicular to the outer surface.
  • the guide strips have to be guided so as to be able to move transversely to the center plane in the force output member in order to be able to adjust them by means of the adjusting screws.
  • the transversely displaceable guidance of the guide strips requires play between them and the force output element, which cannot be adjusted by means of the adjusting screws.
  • the pressure medium cylinder has a cylinder tube 1, which is closed at the end by cylinder cover 2.
  • the cylinder covers 2 convey the pressure medium feeds to the pressurization chambers 4 and 5 located on both sides of a piston 3.
  • the cylinder tube 1 has an approximately square cross-section on the outside, it is provided with an eccentrically arranged cylinder bore 6, in which the piston 3 is guided.
  • a plurality of mounting and guide grooves 7, which are of no further interest here, are incorporated.

  • the piston 3 is provided with a web-like connecting means 16 which extends through the slot 10 and firmly connects the piston 3 to a driver 17 located in front of the slot 10 on the outside of the cylinder tube.
  • the driver 17 is facing away from the slot and overlapped laterally by a bow-like force output member 18 which is guided on both sides of the slot 10 by means of guide arrangements to be described later in detail on the cylinder tube 1.
  • the slot 10 is covered on the inside of the cylinder tube in the area of the pressurized spaces 4 and 5 by a sealing tape 19 in a pressure-tight manner; in the area of the piston 3 between its piston seals 15, the sealing tape 19 is lifted from the slot 10 and guided through a guide channel 20 of the piston 3 such that the slot 10 is free for the connection means 16 to pass through.
  • the slot 10 is covered outside the area of the piston 3 by a shroud 21, which is also lifted from the slot 10 in the area of the piston 3 and is guided through a space 22 located between the driver 17 and the force output member 18, such that the connecting means 16 can pass through the slot 10 and can be firmly connected to the driver 17, can optionally be made in one piece with the latter.
  • magnetic tapes 23 are inserted into the cylinder tube 1 on both sides of the slot, which magnetically hold the shroud 21 made of a suitable material outside the area of the piston 3.
  • the tape holder can also be made in another known manner.
  • the driver 17 For coupling the driver 17 to the force output member 18, the driver 17 has a transverse groove 24 approximately in the middle of its longitudinal extent on its side facing away from the slot, to each of which a groove-like recess 25 in the force output member 18 adjoins the transverse groove 24.

  • each of the extensions 33 is adjoined by a section 34 of the force-transmitting member 18, the sections 34 cover the outer surface 11 until their transition into the side surfaces 12 and 13.
  • a guide bar 35 or 36 is vertically displaceable in the sections 34, So slidably inserted parallel to the central plane 14.
  • the guide strips 35 and 36 like the guide strips 31 and 32, extend parallel to the cylinder axis 9.
  • the undersides of the guide strips 35 and 36 lie displaceably on flat edge strip sections of the outer surface 11.
  • Set screws 37, 38 are adjustably screwed to the two sections 34, the set screws 37 and 38 have axial directions which run parallel to the central plane 14 and cross the cylinder axis 9 at right angles.
  • a plurality of adjusting screws 37 and 38 are arranged at uniform intervals in each section 34 over the longitudinal extent of the force output member 18 in the direction of the cylinder axis 9.
  • the screwing of the set screws 37 and 38 to the sections 34 can be designed to be self-locking, but lock nuts can also be provided in a manner not shown for securing the respective adjustment position.
  • the ends of the set screws 37 and 38 on the outer surface lie on support strips 39 on the sides of the guide strips 35 and 36 facing away from the outer surface; the support strips 39 extend parallel to the cylinder axis 9 and, together with the guide strips 35 and 36, are displaceably guided parallel to the central plane 14.
  • the guide strips 35 and 36 thus form, together with the outer surface 11, adjustable guide tracks 11, 35 and 11, 36, respectively, which lie in a plane perpendicular to the central plane 14.
  • the height of the guide strips 35 and 36 can be adjusted such that the guide tracks 29, 31; 30.32; 11, 35 and 11, 36 a desired play possibility or sliding mobility remains, the force output member 18 is thus adjusted in the desired manner relative to the cylinder tube 1 and guided displaceably.
  • the guideways 29, 31 and 30, 32 take over the lateral guidance of the force output member 18 and preclude its lifting up from the cylinder tube 1.
  • Possible side play of the guide strips 35 and 36 relative to the sections 34 have no influence on the quality of the lateral guidance of the power output member 18 relative to the cylinder tube 1.
  • the force output member 18 overlaps the upper sections of the side surfaces 12 and 13 of the cylinder tube 1 with guide legs 40 on the side of the guide tracks 11, 35 and 11, 36.
  • guide grooves 41 and 42 extend from the side surfaces 12 and 13 , which is inclined substantially obliquely in the direction of the outer surface 11 Extend cylinder tube 1.
  • the outer surface walls of these guide grooves 41 and 42 form guide surfaces 43 and 44, respectively, which correspond to the guide surfaces 29 and 30 of the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 2 and 3 and against which the guide strips 31 and 32 rest, which are firmly attached to the guide grooves 41 and 42 engaging portions of the guide leg 40 are connected.

  • FIGS. 1-10 a modification of the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS.
  • the cover band 21 may be expedient to design the cover band 21 with a width that is greater than the distance between the mutually facing mouth edges of the two guide grooves 27 and 28; the space 22 and thus the entire force output member 18 are then designed to be correspondingly wide in order to carry out the shroud 21 through the force take-off member 18.
  • This modification ensures that the shroud 21 not only covers the slot 10 outside the force output member 18, but also the two guide grooves 27 and 28 and thus protects against contamination.
  • a pressure medium cylinder designed in this way is particularly well suited for operation in an environment where there is a risk of contamination.
  • the guide strips 35, 36 do not have to interact directly with the outer surface 11, which extends over the entire width of the cylinder tube, to form the guide tracks 11, 35 and 11, 36; rather, they can also rest on outer surface sections which are vertically offset from the remaining outer surface 11; the vertical offset facilitates the machining of the surface sections of the cylinder tube 1 which cooperate with the guide strips 35, 36.
  • the guide strips 31, 32, 35 and / or 36 can be mounted from an end face of the power output member 18, even if the power output member 18 is already on the cylinder tube 1. This enables a simple replacement of worn guide rails.
  • a piston (3) is only coupled to a force output member (18) for axial force transmission.
  • the force output member (18) has a guide on the cylinder tube (1), which is designed as a mirror image of a central plane (14) through the cylinder axis (9) and the slot of the cylinder tube (1).
