Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a processing method of a tube body wherein thickness of an end portion of the tube body is reduced by plastic working so as to finish in a predetermined dimension, a manufacturing method of a cylinder device using the processing method, and the cylinder device manufactured by the same.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] For example, as regards a hydraulic damper (shock absorber) of a twin tube type, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, an inner cylinder 1 slidably housing a piston 8 is introduced into an outer cylinder 2 with a base. One end of a piston rod 3, opposite to the other end connected to the piston 8, is inserted into a rod guide 4 and an oil seal 5 both installed in an open end of the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 so as to extend outside. According to extension and compression movement of the piston rod 3, damping force will be generated by flow resistance of hyd...
