  • Patent number: 10974936
    Abstract: A hydraulically actuated liftable and lowerable hook of a crane has a hydraulic system comprises at least one working machine with a hydraulic motor driving a winch. At least one drive machine comprising a pump is connected directly or indirectly to at least one of the working machines by means of two connections via corresponding working lines, which serve as a feed or return depending on the operating state of the working machine. A lowering brake valve is provided in one working line and is connected to the other working line via a control line such that the lowering brake valve is displaceable against a restoring force by pressure, which prevails in the other working line and is forwarded via the control line, from the blocking position of said valve into a through-flow position for lowering the hook by means of a primary winch.

  • Patent number: 9759317
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a closed hydraulic circuit between a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor that are connected to one another via working lines, a flushing pump being provided in order to feed a pressure medium into the working lines, and an output connection being provided in order to discharge excess pressure medium from the working lines. At least one hydraulic consumer, which is provided to convert at least some of the volume flow discharged from the hydraulic circuit into mechanical power, is connected downstream of the output connection.

  • Patent number: 9114787
    Abstract: A pressure generating device generates a hydraulic pressure as a result of a tensile or compressive load. The device has connections, one of which can be rigidly connected to a frame by way of a mechanism for introducing a mechanical tensile or compressive load, a pressure cylinder and a piston unit extending at least partially and flexibly in the pressure cylinder and bounding a hydraulic chamber filled with hydraulic fluid jointly with the pressure cylinder. The chamber has a simple and inexpensive construction. The connections are connected to the pressure cylinder or the piston unit by way of a coupling device that is configured such that the same hydraulic chamber has pressure applied thereto under tensile load and under compressive load.

  • Patent number: 8915553
    Abstract: A braking device for braking a moving mass includes a movably guided coupling member for pressing a brake lining against a braking surface, a brake cylinder, filled with a hydraulic liquid, a brake piston which is movable inside the brake cylinder and which is connected to the coupling member. At least one hydraulic line can be connected to the brake cylinder. The device ensures the moving masses to be reliably decelerated. For that purpose, a fluidic-mechanical safety brake device is used to connect the brake cylinder to the one or more hydraulic lines.

  • Patent number: 8857472
    Abstract: A compact and light-weight hydraulic accumulator configuration for a hydraulic brake includes a high-pressure storage chamber, a medium-pressure storage chamber and an atmospheric-pressure storage chamber. The high-pressure storage chamber, the medium-pressure storage chamber and the atmospheric-pressure storage chamber are disposed in a common housing which delimits the high-pressure storage chamber along with a high-pressure piston movably guided within the housing while delimiting the medium-pressure storage chamber along with a medium-pressure piston movably guided within the housing. A high-pressure spring located in the housing rests on the high-pressure piston outside the high-pressure storage chamber and a medium-pressure spring located in the housing rests on the medium-pressure piston outside the medium-pressure storage chamber.

  • Publication number: 20130220749
    Abstract: Fall-back prevention press of a crane in the form of a gas pressure cylinder, with a piston rod engaging in a cylinder space of the gas pressure cylinder configured as piston-type accumulator, with gas in the bottom space of the cylinder being in exchange with the gas in the piston rod and the ring space in surrounding relationship to the piston rod. A seal arrangement in a rod guide of the cylinder seals the piston rod against the cylinder. The seal arrangement includes a lubricant groove which extends around the rod guide and via which the piston rod is lubricated on the outside. The lubricant is acted upon by gas pressure prevailing in the cylinder with interposition of a pressure transmitter.

  • Publication number: 20120217104
    Abstract: An economical, light and reliable hydraulic braking system for braking a moving mass includes a pressure element or press part for pressing onto a brake surface under frictional contact, a brake actuator filled with hydraulic fluid for producing pressure in the pressure element and a spacing device for adjusting play between the pressure element and the brake surface when the brake system is in a released or non-active position. The spacing device includes a hydraulic accumulator for accumulating a predefined volume of hydraulic fluid at a minimum pressure. The hydraulic accumulator can be connected to the brake actuator, thus avoiding the use of mechanical stopping or blocking devices.

  • Patent number: 8201668
    Abstract: A device for decelerating or braking a moving mass includes a movably guided coupling member for pressing a brake lining against a braking surface and a brake actuator, filled with hydraulic liquid and connected to the coupling member, for generating a pressure force that can be passed into the brake lining through the coupling member. The brake lining is connected to a pressure transducer that can be fastened on a frame of the mass to be decelerated or braked through a connecting device. The pressure transducer has a hydraulic liquid-filled supporting cylinder and a supporting piston interacting therewith. The supporting cylinder communicates with a brake cylinder through hydraulic lines. This allows an improved adjustment of deceleration or braking. For this purpose, a regulating device adjusts the brake force depending on a predetermined theoretical value.
