Abstract

See full text

A railcar cushioning device has a hydraulic cylinder holding pressurized fluid. The cylinder has a cylinder body with an inner chamber and a reservoir chamber. A piston is movably positioned in the inner chamber. The cylinder body has a bleed opening allowing bleed flow from the inner chamber to the reservoir chamber. A bleed orifice valve in the bleed opening has a valve housing and a poppet received in the valve housing that moves to allow and restrict fluid flow through a bleed flow path based on the pressure of the fluid. The poppet has an orifice channel allowing a restricted fluid flow through the valve housing when the pressure in the inner chamber is greater than the pressure in the reservoir chamber.
