Abstract

A piston ( 1 ) of a hydraulic piston machine is described, the piston ( 1 ) having a hollow ( 2 ) surrounded by a wall ( 3 ) and an insert ( 4 ) arranged in the hollow ( 2 ). Such a piston is used to have a piston machine with high efficiency at low costs. To this end at least two pliable rings ( 12, 13 ) are arranged between the insert ( 4 ) and the wall ( 3 ).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A piston of a hydraulic piston machine, the piston having a hollow surrounded by a wall and an insert arranged in the hollow, wherein at least two pliable rings are arranged between the insert and the wall, wherein a gap is formed between the insert and the wall, and wherein at least a first ring of the at least two rings comprises at least one thin section having a radial extent smaller than a largest radial extent of the first ring and forming a passage for a fluid.

2. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein the first ring is located on one side of a center of mass of the insert and a second ring of the at least two rings is located on another side of the center of mass.

3. The piston according to claim 2 , wherein the first ring secures an axial position of the insert in the piston and the second ring secures a radial position of the insert in the hollow only.

4. The piston according to claim 2 , wherein the second ring rests against a bottom of the hollow.

5. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein the first ring secures an axial position of the insert in the piston and a second ring of the at least two rings secures a radial position of the insert in the hollow only.

6. The piston according to claim 5 , wherein the first ring is located adjacent an open end of the hollow.

7. The piston according to claim 6 , wherein the first ring is arranged in an inner groove in the wall and in an outer groove in the insert.

8. The piston according to claim 5 , wherein the second ring rests against a bottom of the hollow.

9. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein one ring of the at least two rings rests against a bottom of the hollow.

10. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein the insert comprises a conical section near an end remote from an open end of the hollow and one pliable ring of the at least two rings is arranged around the conical section.

11. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein the first ring comprises a number of blocks separated by a thin section of the at least one section.

12. The piston according to claim 11 , wherein the blocks are spaced equidistantly.

13. The piston according to claim 11 , wherein the thin sections have an axial extension smaller than an axial extension of the blocks.

14. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two pliable rings have the same form.

15. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein the insert is of a ceramic material or of fiber reinforced plastics material.

16. A hydraulic piston machine comprising the piston according to claim 1 .
