Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9511777A1] Method for controlling a pressurised fluid-actuated double acting cylinder in an assembly such as a hydraulic tightening spanner (1) with a control unit therefor, wherein a piston (5) may be reciprocated repeatedly, firstly with an active stroke (arrow 4) providing a desired maximum force, and then with an opposed so-called passive stroke (arrow 7) returning the piston (5) to its starting point to enable repetition, and wherein said method comprises selecting a set fluid pressure corresponding to the desired maximum force (Fr) and measuring the time elapsed (Te) between the beginning and the end of the passive return stroke to determine that said force has been achieved. A device for implementing said method is also disclosed.
