A crosshead () for use as an upper and/or lower beam () in a press (), in particular an open-die forging press or a closed-die forging press, comprises an upper chord () and a lower chord () connected to the upper chord () via a first and a second lateral upright (). The first lateral upright () is arranged in the region of a first distal end () and the second lateral upright () is arranged in the region of a second distal end () of the crosshead (). The crosshead () has a truss support structure () between the two lateral uprights () by which the upper chord () and the lower chord () are additionally connected to one another.

A stretch rolling method and a stretch rolling unit can roll out any gripping ends and uses the narrowest possible installation space. In the stretch rolling method, a workpiece is successively fed to at least two passes of a stretch rolling unit of a gripping device, wherein the workpiece is rotated by 180&#xb0; about an axis of rotation lying perpendicular to the main direction of extent of the workpiece between the first pass of the two passes and the second pass of the two passes.

A hydraulic cylinder comprising a cylinder, a piston element movably guided in the cylinder in a working direction and comprising an active surface, and a first opening for feeding a fluid into a cylinder chamber by the active surface. A working pressure of the fluid acting on the active surface drives the piston element in the working direction. The active surface includes a first partial surface and at least one second partial surface, the cylinder chamber being divided into a first sub chamber with the first opening by the first active surface and a second partial surface with a second opening by the second partial surface, and the partial surfaces are hydraulically separated from each other at least in a selectable operating mode.
