Damping device for the piston of a brake cylinder, in particular of the spring brake cylinder of a combined service brake and spring brake cylinder

摘要

In the case of a brake cylinder, in particular a spring brake cylinder (5) of a combined service brake cylinder and spring brake cylinder (combination cylinder 1), a damping device composed of a damping element (33) is provided for the piston (9) of the spring brake cylinder (5); the damping element is located in the region of the dead space on the intermediate flange between the service brake cylinder (3) and the spring brake cylinder (5). The damping element is capable of damping the piston (9) as it moves in the direction of the intermediate wall (7) between service brake cylinder and spring brake cylinder when the mechanical quick-release device provided on a combination cylinder (1) of this type is actuated. The damping element (33) can have the form of a continuous ring element or can be composed of a plurality of segments. <IMAGE>
