ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention relates to belt cylinders, i.e. piston- rodless operating cylinders in which steel belts, in particular, are used in transferring force; even during production, belts of this kind have the negative property of not being suffici- ently straight, instead they are bowed and this leads to break- downs in that the belts either destroy the flanges on the deflecting rollers in a very short time or, if there are no flanges, they run off the rollers; for this reason in spite of the technical advantages, belt cylinders have not been successful in practice; satisfactory operation of these belt cylinders may be achieved if, and only if, the belts which transfer force from the piston to the force pick-up are in absolute alignment; in order to achieve this, the invention provides that the piston - belt - force pick-up - piston system be pre-loaded, and that the ends of the belt be secured pivotably in a turnbuckle, so that they may automatically align themselves; moreover, the relationships between diameter, deflecting rollers and belt dimensions are optimized according to the driving force, from the point of view of fatigue strength.
