Abstract
A cushion ring which is used between a rod-side cylinder head and a piston rod of a fluid-pressure cylinder and which is externally fitted on the piston rod to cushion a shock in the vicinity of the farthest extended end of cylinder includes a throttling groove that has a V-shaped cross section. The throttling groove extends from an appropriate position of the cushion ring to a rod-side end part and functions to throttle the flow of a working fluid flowing from a rod-side fluid chamber to an input/output port provided in a rod-side cylinder head. The throttling groove is provided at the outer periphery of the cushion ring. The throttling groove terminates at a rod-side end part with an end guide face that guides the working fluid toward a slantwise outward direction of the cushion ring.
