<p>A method of manufacturing a piston for transferring an output force to a member in responsive to pressurized fluid being communicated to a bore in a housing. The piston has a cylinder body made of a plurality of triaxial braided layers (40, 42, 52, 54, 62, 66, 70, 71) of carbon fibers which are placed on a mandrel (24) with spacers (44, 46, 56, 58, 60, 68) located between the layers to form an annular projection of a first end and a taper of a second end. The carbon fibers are impregnated with a thermoset resin and cured to define a unitary solid structure. Thereafter a cone and collar, through which an output force is supplied to member, is attached to the second end and the unitary structure inserted in the bore.</p> |
