Patent ID: 11149764

Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydraulic cylinder comprising a body (1) having a wall (3) that defines a cylindrical cavity (2), with a cylindrical cavity axis (X), in which a piston (4) is movably mounted, said piston (4) separating said cylindrical cavity (2) into two tight chambers (5, 6) that are isolated from each other, the wall (3) of the body comprising at least two passages (7, 8) for introducing or discharging a fluid into each of said two chambers (5, 6). The cylinder also comprises two end walls (17, 18) and a rigid rod (32) which is secured to the piston (4) and coaxial with the cylindrical cavity (2), said rod (32) passing through a passage opening (20) provided in one of the two end walls (17, 18). The cylinder is characterised in that it comprises a position sensor (38) comprising a sensor head (39), a sensor rod (40) which is secured to the sensor head (39) and around which a magnet (41) is fitted, and a connector (42) connected to said sensor head (39).
