Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for receiving cylindrical bodies (1; 1, 16). In the method according to the invention, the receiving utilises tight, self-restoring pressure elements (7), in which by adjusting the inflow and/or outflow of compressed air, the motion speed of the cylindrical body (1; 1, 16) is decelerated. The apparatus according to the invention includes a pressure element (7) within the elastic and tight material of which is installed self-restoring porous material (10). Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the method and the apparatus for receiving a cylindrical body.
