Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022122063A1] The invention relates to a piston unit (2) of a working cylinder (1), wherein: - a piston rod (3) has an outer thread (5) on a piston-side coupling portion; - a piston (4) has an axial bore which comprises an inner thread (6) and in which the piston rod (3) is received; - the outer thread (5) and the inner thread (6) form a common thread portion (7); - the outer thread (5) and the inner thread (6) have a complementary conicity and a complementary thread geometry; - the conicity has a conicity angle alpha of 0.3 to 5 degrees; - the outer thread (5) and the inner thread (6) abut one another in a coupling end position in the thread portion in a gap and form a sealing plane; - the outer thread (5) and the inner thread (6) have, in the thread portion in the coupling end position, an elastic deformation within the elastic limit of the piston rod (3) and the piston (4); - the elastic deformation is brought about by a surface pressure via a tightening torque; - the piston rod (3) and the piston (4) are radially and axially fixed to one another without play in the coupling end position by means of the elastic deformation, and - the elastic deformation is within the elastic limit both with and without an application of pressure by a pressure medium in the working cylinder (1).
