Fluid Cylinder For High Temperature Applications

View page
US Patent:
20080053306, Mar 6, 2008
Filed:
Aug 29, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/511888
Inventors:
Robert William Lofink - Pickens SC, US
International Classification:
F16J 1/00
US Classification:
92172
Abstract:
A fluid cylinder for high temperature applications is disclosed. The fluid cylinder includes an extensible member that moves between a retracted position and an extended position by forcing a fluid, such as a pneumatic fluid or a hydraulic fluid, into the cylinder. In order to seal the extensible member against an internal surface of the cylindrical housing, the extensible member includes a sealing member defining a plurality of grooves. A corresponding plurality of metallic sealing rings are placed in each of the grooves. The sealing rings include a gap that allow for thermal expansion. The sealing rings are positioned in the grooves so that the gaps on the rings are in a staggered arrangement in the axial direction. Further, a metal alloy coating may be applied to at least certain parts of the fluid cylinder. Through the above configuration, the fluid cylinder can be made without any polymeric sealing rings, composite bearings, or lubricants that may degrade during high temperature applications.
