APPARATUS FOR GENERATING AND APPLYING LINEAR FORCES

摘要

An apparatus including a piston bore, exhibiting a longitudinal axis, and a piston, including a piston head and a piston shaft. The piston being axially displace-able within the piston bore along the longitudinal axis. The piston bore and a first surface of the piston head form a first working volume and displacement of the piston alters the first working volume. The apparatus also includes a first plurality of injectors coupled to the first working volume and a first common rail. The first plurality of injectors are configured to inject a hydraulic fluid from the common rail into the first working volume. The first common rail is configured to store the hydraulic fluid at an elevated pressure of 1,000 bar or greater. The apparatus includes a flow path between the first working volume and a reservoir for the hydraulic fluid.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a piston bore, wherein said piston bore exhibits a longitudinal axis; a piston, including a piston head and a piston shaft, wherein said piston is axially displace-able within said piston bore along said longitudinal axis, wherein said piston bore and a first surface of said piston head form a first working volume and displacement of said piston alters said first working volume; a first plurality of injectors coupled to said first working volume and a first common rail, wherein said first plurality of injectors are configured to inject a hydraulic fluid from said common rail into said first working volume; said first common rail configured to store said hydraulic fluid at an elevated pressure of 1,000 bar or greater; a pump coupled to said first common rail configured to maintain said hydraulic fluid in said common rail at said elevated pressure; and a flow path between said first working volume and a reservoir for said hydraulic fluid.
