A piston is provided displaceably in the interior of a cylinder tube that constitutes a fluid pressure cylinder, and a piston cover made from an elastic material is disposed so as to cover one end surface of the piston. The piston cover comprises a main body portion confronting a head cover of the cylinder tube, a guide portion covering an outer circumferential surface of the piston and disposed in sliding contact with an inner circumferential surface of a cylinder hole, and a hook portion folded toward an inner circumferential side with respect to the guide portion. Upon displacement of the piston toward the head cover, shocks are absorbed by abutment of the main body portion against the head cover. When the piston is displaced along the cylinder tube, the guide portion serves to guide the piston in the axial direction by sliding contact with the cylinder hole.

Fluid pressure cylinder

A pair of stopper members are mounted on shafts of an actuator in such a manner that stopper members sandwich a table. By making the table come into contact with these stopper members, a stop operation and a determination of a stop position of the table are carried out. To be more specific, the stop operation and the determination of the stop position of the table is carried out by using adjusting bolts which are respectively mounted on the stopper members. Furthermore, an impact which occurs when the adjusting bolts and the table come into contact with each other is attenuated by shock absorbers which are respectively mounted on said stopper members.
