- mounting holes 61 and 62 into which the holding spring 60 is inserted are formed in at least one of the first piston 41 and the second piston 42 so as to face the lock chamber 44. It is preferable.
- the depth of the mounting hole formed in at least one of the first piston and the second piston can be used as a mounting space for the holding spring, the height of the housing can be lowered to make the cylinder device more compact.
- a plurality of mounting holes are provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction, a single annular mounting hole is provided, and a plurality of annular mounting holes are provided concentrically. You could think so.
- the first piston is inserted into the large diameter hole of the cylinder hole and the second piston is inserted into the small diameter hole of the cylinder hole.
- the pressure fluid supplied to the first release chamber can powerfully release drive the output rod via the large-diameter first piston.
- the present invention preferably adds the following configuration.
- the output rod 27 has a low load stroke and a high load stroke.
- the second piston 42 is received by the housing 4 via the engagement ball 69 to prevent the second piston 42 from rising. Then, when the first piston 41 and the output rod 27 are lowered by a predetermined low load stroke in a state where the rise of the second piston 42 is prevented, the second piston 42 is moved to the engagement ball 69.
- a high load stroke of the output rod 27 is started.
- the present invention preferably adds the following configuration.
- the pressure fluid supplied to the lock chamber 44 between the first piston 41 and the second piston 42 is The output rod 27 is boosted downward via the second piston 42 and the engagement ball 69, and the output rod 27 is driven downward via the first piston 41.
- the output rod is strongly driven downward by the resultant force of the push-down force by the boost drive and the push-down force by the first piston.
