Patent ID: 7685925

Claim:
An intensifier for supplying force, the intensifier comprising: a housing defining a cavity; a ram slidably positioned within the cavity and partially extending from the housing, the ram being moveable between retracted and extended positions along a longitudinal axis; first and second links rotatably coupled to one another about an axis of rotation, the links being selectively moveable between retracted positions where the axis of rotation is not axially aligned with the ram and partially extended positions where the axis of rotation is axially aligned with the ram, wherein the first link includes a slot in receipt of a pin fixed to the housing to restrict the first link from rotating when in the partially extended position; and a plurality of power pistons axially aligned with each other and the ram, the plurality of power pistons being selectively operable to provide an output force to the ram when the first and second links are in the partially extended positions.
