A door actuator for opening and/or closing a door, includes a fluid housing with an inner compartment, which is filled with fluid, in particular hydraulic oil, a fluid housing opening in the fluid housing for draining the fluid at thermal overload, a thermally activatable valve for opening, which closes the fluid housing opening, and a collecting device, which is disposed outside the fluid housing opposite the fluid housing opening, forms a collecting space for the fluid, is open towards the fluid housing opening, and includes at least one drain opening for draining the fluid from the collecting space.

A fluid damper is provided including a cylinder filled with a damping fluid, a piston base body shiftably guided in the cylinder along a stroke axis, and a valve disk spaced apart from a shell wall of the cylinder. The piston base body divides an inner space of the cylinder into a front space and a rear space along the stroke axis. In the piston base body, there is at least one channel connecting the front space to the rear space in a fluid-conducting manner. The valve disk is shiftably guided along the stroke axis between an opening position unblocking the at least one channel and a closing position closing the at least one channel. The valve disk has a central area extending radially outward from the stroke axis, the central area being free of apertures.

A pneumatic door closer includes a rotary energy-storing mechanism including a housing and a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism includes a cylinder, a second piston assembly and a sealing element, the sealing element is in an air tight connection with the cylinder and the second piston assembly, to form a closed space filled with high pressure gas in the cylinder. The second piston assembly drives the closed space into a first air chamber and a second air chamber in communication with each other. The driving mechanism also includes a first piston assembly connected to the second piston assembly. The pneumatic door closer also includes a transmission mechanism having one end received in the housing and another end connected to the door frame.

Disclosed is a panic bar with a door closer, the panic bar having a locking device installed at a front end of a case and a door closer provided at a rear end of the case. The locking device is released upon pushing of the push bar provided in the case. An air cylinder is installed inside the case. A guide member is installed in one side of the air cylinder and a cylinder sealing cap is installed in the other side of the air cylinder. One side of a piston rod having a piston for compressing and expanding air inside the air cylinder passes through the guide member. A spring disposed between the piston and the guide member is installed on the piston rod.

An exemplary door closer includes a body, a regulation screw, and an indicator. The body includes a surface and a cavity extending from the surface into the body, and the cavity includes an internal threading. The regulation screw is mounted in the cavity and includes an external threading engaged with the internal threading. The indicator is engaged with the regulation screw and positioned at least partially within the cavity. The indicator is positioned to project beyond the surface when the regulation screw is withdrawn to a reference position relative to the body.

A hinge for the controlled rotatable movement of a closing element anchored to a stationary support structure includes a pivot, a hinge body and a hydraulic damping cylinder. The pivot has a first axis and includes a cam, and the hinge body is engaged to the pivot so as to be rotatably coupled to each other around the first axis. The hydraulic damping cylinder includes a jacket and a plunger element, and the jacket defines a second axis, houses a working fluid and is divided into a first and a second variable volume compartment in fluid communication with each other. The plunger has a first and a second end respectively inserted into the first and second variable volume compartment to slide sealingly in the jacket. The hinge body includes a working chamber defining a third axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis and contains an elastic counteracting member.

A hinge comprising: a first hinge member (110) comprising a cylinder barrel (117) having a longitudinal direction (118); a second hinge member (111) pivotably mounted on the first hinge member (110); and a dashpot interposed between said hinge members (110, 111) and configured for damping a closing movement of said closure member. The dashpot comprises a closed cylinder cavity formed within the cylinder barrel (117); a damper shaft (124) which extends into the cylinder cavity and is connected to the second hinge member (111); and a piston (147) within said cylinder cavity. The hinge members (110, 111) are made of a synthetic material and the damper shaft (124) is made of metal.
