| Zwangszylinder (Druckzylinder in the given context) thrust cylinder, hydraulic ram Explanation: under http://www.hewlett.co.nz/documents/PTH_speedgrader_GB_000.pd... you will find a speed grader with a yellow control box and German inscriptions and indicators for Strasse (green), Arbeit (red), Links (white), Rechts (white), Automatik (yellow), knobs for Lenkung, Druck, Zusatz, etc.) According to one form of this invention there is provided a grader having at least two grader blades, each blade being positioned to effect grading of a part only of a being graded surface, each blade being supported by a respective leg for each blade each of which is joined to a support frame by a pivot connection, the position of the blade being maintained in a forward most position by an hydraulic ram the pressure of which is governed by hydraulic pressure of fluid within the ram which fluid is hydraulically connected for each of the rams to an accumulator so that the hydraulic pressure in the ram is substantially the pressure within the accumulator. http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6206106/description.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2009-02-19 01:08:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A lot of German terms are dubious, e.g. Konsole, Graderschare (Planierschild), Zwang (Druck). As German I would use other words. Straßenhobel (Grader [Abb. 12]) werden mit ihrem universell beweglichen Planierschild zum Verteilen von Material und für die Oberflächenbearbeitung eingesetzt. http://www.munichre.com/publications/302-00960_de.pdf |
