Abstract

The present invention provides an actuator comprising a hydraulic cylinder whose rod is connected to the shaft driving the controlled device by means of a transmission. The end of the rod of the cylinder penetrates into an accumulation chamber connected to the intake circuit of said cylinder through a distribution circuit comprising at least one non return calibrated valve and a balancing distributor with push rod and spring return which allows the drive fluid of the cylinder to be admitted into said accumulation chamber when the rod of said cylinder is at the end of travel under the effect of the drive fluid.
