An actuating cylinder for a magnetic rail brake unit on a vehicle has a piston slidable within a cylinder and the piston has an end position at the head end of the cylinder. A pair of concentric conical mating surfaces are provided on the piston and cylinder head end so as to be engageable with each other to stop the piston in the end position.
