Abstract
Provided is a swing-back preventing apparatus capable of preventing a hydraulic actuator in a stop state from operating by undesired load. The swing-back preventing apparatus includes a housing, a piston, and a pair of biasing members. First and second spaces are formed between the piston and the housing, and the piston includes a pair of communication passages that are communicable with first and second spaces. When the piston is located at a first offset position, the first space is blocked from a first port. When the piston separates from the first offset position, the first space is connected to the first port. When the piston is located at a second offset position, the second space is blocked from a second port. When the piston separates from the second offset position, the second space is connected to the second port. When the piston is located at a position on the first offset position side of a neutral position, a first communication passage is connected to the first space. When the piston is located in a range from the neutral position to the second offset position, the first communication passage is blocked from the first space. When the piston is located at a position on the second offset position side of the neutral position, a second communication passage is connected to the second space. When the piston is located in a range from the neutral position to the first offset position, the second communication passage is blocked from the second space.
