Abstract

A cutting tool with blade parts having an application surface for a driving force, which essentially extends orthogonal to a cutting plane, is provided. A cutting force acting upon the blade parts causes a counterforce. A line of action of the cutting force extends differently from a line of action of the counterforce. Each application surface has an end facing the cutting plane and an end facing away from the cutting plane. The ends are located on the same side of the cutting plane. In order to reduce a cutting gap between blade edges, the end facing the cutting plane defines a first distance and that the first distance and/or a second distance are chosen such that an intersecting point lies in front of a line of action of the cutting force referred to a clockwise direction.

Abstract

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. The invention further relates to a hydraulic work tool (1) with a hydraulic cylinder (6), and to a shock absorption method using such a hydraulic cylinder (6). In order to achieve an effective shock absorption, the invention proposes that an intermediate piston (11) be arranged before the working piston (10) in the working direction (R), that the actuation space be divided by the intermediate piston (11) into an entrance space (14) and a working space (15), wherein the entrance space (14) is formed between a cylinder floor (21) and the intermediate piston (11), and the working space (15) is formed between the working piston (10) and the intermediate piston (11), that the hydraulic fluid can flow out of the entrance space (14) into the working space (15), accompanied by an enlargement of the working space (15), and that a mechanical coupling between the working piston (10) and the intermediate piston (11) can compensate for an actuation emanating from the hydraulic fluid located in the working space (15) given a loss in counterforce.

Abstract

The described solution pertains to a method for operating a motor-actuated tool and to a motor-actuated tool, wherein a certain working process requires an increase of an applied force to a certain working force, wherein a hydraulic medium located in a piston/cylinder arrangement of the tool is used for applying the force and the working process no longer requires any higher force after the certain working force has been reached, wherein the tool allows an increase of the force to a general working force that exceeds the certain working force, and wherein reaching the certain working force results in a characteristic change of the pressure increase in the hydraulic medium. In order to advantageously carry out the method and to achieve an advantageous design of the tool, the solution proposes that, upon reaching the characteristic change, the return valve (21) is initially opened and a pressure drop in the hydraulic medium, which occurs as a result of opening the return valve (21), is used as a signal for deactivating the motor (11), wherein a control of the tool is designed accordingly.

Abstract

A hydraulically activatable working device includes a hydraulic cylinder and at least one first and one second partial piston provided therein. The partial pistons can be moved under pressurization by a hydraulic medium to perform a working operation. Each partial piston has an impact surface at its lower end against which the hydraulic medium may act. A piston rod is coupled to the hydraulic cylinder and has an impact surface at its lower end against which the partial pistons may act. The impact surface forms a first partial impact surface against which the first partial piston acts, and forms a second partial impact surface against which the second partial piston acts. The first and second partial impact surfaces do not overlap each other in direction across to the traversing direction.

Abstract

The disclosure relates firstly to a hydraulic cylinder (6) with a hydraulically loadable work piston (10) movable therein, for transmitting a work force to an item to be worked outside the hydraulic cylinder (6), with build-up of a counter-force, wherein the work piston (10) has a loading face (12), the loading face (12) limits a loading space, provided between the work piston (10) and the hydraulic cylinder (6), in a work direction (R) in which the work force is transmitted, and,for carrying out a work process, hydraulic liquid for moving the work piston (10) in the work direction (R) can act on the loading face (12) to increase the size of the loading space. The disclosure also relates to a hydraulic work tool (1) with a work head (17) and with a hydraulically loadable work piston (10) movable in a hydraulic cylinder (16). Moreover, the disclosure also relates to a method for impact damping of a hydraulically loadable work piston (10) movable in a hydraulic cylinder (6). To achieve effective impact damping, the disclosure proposes that, as the counter-force declines, the work piston (10) is mechanically retainable in order to prevent a further movement of the work piston (10), possible without the decline of the counter-force, in the work direction (R) when the counter-force is absent. As regards the hydraulic work tool (1), it is essential that the latter has a hydraulic cylinder (6). As regards the method for impact damping, it is essential that, in the event of a sudden decline of the counter-force, a further movement of the work piston (10) in the work direction (R), which is possible without the decline of the counter-force, is impeded by a mechanical retention of the work piston (10).
