Abstract
A side strut ( ) for a lower steering arm of a tractor has a single-action hydraulic cylinder with a cylinder housing ( ) and a piston ( ). The piston includes a hollow cylinder ( ) with a base ( ). In the hollow cylinder ( ), a rod-shaped element ( ) is adjustable against the force of a spring from a moved-in position into a moved-out position. Because the piston ( ) and the setting element ( ) move in the same direction, it is possible to achieve a telescopic design which leads to a short installation length which, in turn, results in a more advantageous buckling strength.
