Some Aspects Concerning The Impact Of The End Of Stroke On Hydraulic Cylinders

The increase of speeds for mechanical systems operated with hydraulic cylinder raises risks of mechanical impact of the end of the race. We are considering a number of measures to limit the impact intensity. Its size is estimated according to the masses in motion, to work pressures and to the geometry of the mechanism. Elasticity of the components is also an important variable. This paper presents a method which combines the classical calculation with numerical simulation systems.
