Hydraulic Work Tool with a Device for Impact Damping
11 Jan 24
The invention relates to a hydraulic cylinder (6) with a hydraulically actuatable working piston (10) movable therein for transferring a working force to an object (20) to be processed outside of the hydraulic cylinder (6) accompanied by the buildup of a counterforce, wherein the working piston (10) has an actuation surface (12), the actuation surface (12) borders an actuation space present between the working piston (10) and the hydraulic cylinder (6) in a working direction (R) in which the working force is transferred, and for executing an operation, hydraulic fluid can act for moving the working piston (10) in the working direction (R) toward the actuation surface (12), accompanied by an enlargement of the actuation space.
