Abstract: In the vane machine of the invention the wear-causing pressure differences at the opposite ends (16,18) of the vanes (15) are at least partially reduced, especially during the reversing stages of the vanes (15). A compression gate valve (35) without a valve spring integrated in the vane machine is provided for this. It provides a constant pressure ratio of the pressure with which a vane is pressed against the lift ring during a reversing stage to the system pressure. By controlling the pressure ratio in this way an undue amount of friction of the vanes (15) on the lift ring (20) is avoided, also at high system pressure.

Abstract: The simple and economical pressure proportioning regulator valve can maintain a constant pressure ratio of the pressure at its inlet (13) to the pressure in its outlet duct (14), especially during negative pressure changes at the inlet (13). The pressure proportioning regulator valve has a valve housing (11) provided with a throughgoing passage (12) having an inlet (13) and an outlet duct (14); a valve gate (22) in the throughgoing passage (12) having a pressing surface (43) acted on by a pressure at the inlet (13) and another pressing surface (44) acted on by a pressure in the outlet duct (14); a device for reducing both pressures while maintaining their pressure ratio including a first control edge (29) arranged on the valve gate (22) between the inlet (13) and the outlet duct (14) and a device for controlling a flow of a pressurized medium between the outlet duct (14) and the return duct (15) including a second control edge (30) provided on the control member (23) of the valve gate (22).
