<p>A piston and cylinder unit, such as a shock absorber which can be filled with pressurised gas. The piston rod is hollow and extends through a seal to communicate with the interior of the cylinder via a bore. The outer end of the hollow rod is adapted for connection to a source of pressurised fluid to permit pressurisation from the exterior across the seal. The piston rod may be integral or have a separate hollow portion for temporary connection thereto when the cylinder is to be pressurised.</p> |
