  • Patent number: 6315268
    Abstract: A solenoid for a hydraulic valve has an armature chamber having chamber walls. A pole core forms one of the chamber walls and has an axial central bore. An armature is slidably arranged in the armature chamber. The armature has a central receptacle. An armature piston is arranged in the central receptacle of the armature and extends through the axial central bore of the pole core. The armature piston consists of a nonmagnetic material. The armature piston acts on a valve member when moved by the armature piston. The armature piston is a tubular member formed of a piece of planar sheet metal and has a radially outwardly projecting anti-stick disc that defines a minimal axial spacing between the armature and the pole core. The radially outwardly projecting anti-stick disc is formed as a monolithic part of the tubular member by parts of the sheet metal being bent radially outwardly relative to the tubular member.

  • Patent number: 6223763
    Abstract: A hydraulic system for a vehicle including a distributor, or switch, valve for actuating at least two operational areas and supplying the two areas with sufficient amounts of hydraulic medium is provided. The distributor, or switch, valve preferably comprises a flow regulator valve and a solenoid valve, which function so that the supply of hydraulic medium to the steering system always has priority, ensuring that the vehicle is steerable in any situation. When the steering system is operational, the supply of hydraulic medium to other operational areas, such as the clutch and transmission systems, is completely blocked by operation of the switch valve. If, however, the clutch and transmission systems should require hydraulic medium during operation of the steering system, the switch valve allows a small portion of hydraulic medium to be supplied to the clutch and transmission as well.

  • Patent number: 6209497
    Abstract: The system according to the invention for the relative rotating position change of a shaft with respect to a driving wheel has an adjusting device with two pressure spaces which act against one another and which can be acted upon by a pressure medium pump. In order to achieve a uniform controlled adjusting operation and a secure position fixing, the pressure space connected with the pressure medium pump is acted upon by pressure at the start of the adjusting movement before the opposite pressure space connected with the pressure medium tank is relieved.

  • Patent number: 6205964
    Abstract: A damping device for an electromagnetic valve control of an internal combustion engine has a pressure chamber, a hydraulic supply line communicating with a first pressure chamber and supplying the pressure chamber with a hydraulic medium. A damping piston is positioned at one side of the pressure chamber and is moveable relative to the pressure chamber. A moveable mass acts on the damping piston. When the damping piston is moved in a first direction by the moveable mass from a rest position into the first pressure chamber, the hydraulic medium is initially displaced from the pressure chamber into the hydraulic supply line until the hydraulic supply line is closed off by the damping piston and a hydraulic pressure is generated in the pressure chamber to create a force acting counter to the movement of the moveable mass.

  • Patent number: 6085708
    Abstract: A device for relative rotational angle changing of the camshaft of an internal combustion engine relative to its drive wheel has an inner part connected with ribs or vanes that is located rotationally movably in a compartmented wheel. This driven compartmented wheel has a plurality of compartments distributed around the circumference divided by ribs or vanes into two pressure chambers each, and with the change in rotational angle being produced by their pressurization. To minimize the influence of overlapping alternating torque influences from the valve drive of the internal combustion engine, damping structure is integrated into this device to damp the change in rotational position change hydraulically.

  • Patent number: 6053138
    Abstract: A device for hydraulic rotational angle adjustment of a shaft to a drive wheel, especially the camshaft of an internal combustion engine, has ribs or vanes that are nonrotatably connected with the shaft, said ribs or vanes being located in the compartments of a compartmented wheel. The compartments of the compartmented wheel and the ribs and/or vanes produce pressure chambers by whose hydraulic pressurization the two structural elements can be rotated relative to one another. In order to secure the two structural elements against undesired rotation when an insufficient adjusting or retaining pressure is present, a common end face of the compartmented wheel and of the ribs and/or vanes cooperates with an annular piston that exerts a releasable clamping action on the parts that are rotatable relative to one another.

The piston has a length of approximately 13 mm and a diameter of approximately 2 mm. The wire for eroding of the piston as well as the sleeve bushing has a diameter of approximately 2/10 mm. Longitudinal sides of a multiple edged groove base or bottom of the oil groove of the piston and control edges therewith are formed in a first working step procedure and the remaining longitudinal edges of the oil groove and the remaining control edges are formed in a further working step. The piston occupies one position and another working position displaced by 900.degree. from each other.

  • Patent number: 5323809
    Abstract: A hydraulic solenoid valve includes a valve housing with bores for receiving a hydraulic medium and having at least one consuming device connection and a return connection connected to the bores. A piston is connected within the valve housing and has at least one piston bore. A first valve with a corresponding valve seat is connected to the piston for opening and closing the piston bore. The first valve in its open position provides communication between the consuming device connection and the reservoir connection. A magnet housing has connected therein an armature. When the armature is displaced during normal operation in both directions, it rests at the first valve and forces the first valve into its valve seat. A return spring is positioned between the piston and the valve housing. The armature is displaceable by the force of the return spring. The piston is displaceable by the armature against the force of the return spring.

  • Patent number: 5120278
    Abstract: An internal-combustion engine has a camshaft drive in which the outlet camshaft driven by the crankshaft drives the inlet camshaft via a chain. For the tensioning of the chain, two hydraulic pistons are pressed in opposite directions with respect to one another against the loose end and the load end of the interior side of the chain. For adjustment of the relative camshaft rotating position, the unit consisting of the hydraulic piston and the chain is shifted transversely to the camshafts so that the loose end is shortened and the load end is lengthened, or vice versa.
