  • Patent number: 7354252
    Abstract: A pressure intensifier for fluids has an intensifier piston with a high-pressure piston and a low-pressure piston having a greater diameter than the high-pressure piston. The pistons are moveable in a high-pressure cylinder and a low-pressure cylinder, respectively, and move together. The high-pressure cylinder is connected to a high-pressure connection. A first control line is connected to a supply connector. A second control line is connected to a control valve having first and second switching positions. A first connection connects the control lines. The low-pressure cylinder is connected via the control valve in the first switching position to a supply connector and in the second switching position to a return connector. The switching positions are controlled by the intensifier piston. The intensifier piston opens or closes the first connection between the control lines. The first connection is arranged completely within a movement stroke of the high-pressure piston.

  • Patent number: 6866485
    Abstract: A double-acting hydraulic pressure intensifier includes a supply connection, a return connection, a high-pressure connection. An intensifier piston assembly includes a low-pressure piston arranged in a low-pressure cylinder and two high-pressure pistons connected to the low-pressure piston each arranged in a high-pressure cylinder. A switching valve assembly includes a displace able, hydraulically controlled valve element which on its two opposite sides in the direction of displacement has control pressure chambers with pressure application areas of different sizes, namely, a first control pressure chamber with a smaller pressure application area and a second control pressure chamber with a larger pressure application area. A stop plug is arranged between the second control pressure chamber and the supply connection.

  • Patent number: 6776080
    Abstract: A hydraulic pressure intensifier includes a supply connection, a return connection, and a high-pressure connection. An intensifier piston assembly includes a high-pressure cylinder with a high-pressure piston displaceable therein and a low-pressure cylinder having a greater cross-section than the high-pressure cylinder, with a low-pressure piston which is displaceable therein. The low-pressure piston is connected to the high-pressure piston and divides the low-pressure cylinder into a first low-pressure chamber on the side of the high-pressure piston and a second low-pressure chamber. A switching valve acts on the second low-pressure chamber with pressure from a pressure source or relieves it of pressure.
