Pressure-Drop Coefficients for Cushioning System of Hydraulic Cylinder With Grooved Piston: A Computational Fluid Dynamic Simulation

Cushioning is an important aspect in hydraulic cylinder performance. The piston has to be decelerated before it strikes the end cap in order to avoid stresses in the cylinder components and reduce vibration that can be transmitted to the machine. One of the least-studied methods is internal cushioni...
