Abstract: A pressure-control valve device for a fluid, having at least one inlet area and first and second outlet areas that can be flow-connected to one another by two seat valves coupled to one another, in which a fluid flow from the inlet area to the first and second outlet areas can be adjusted by the first seat valve and a fluid flow between the first and second outlet areas can be adjusted by the second seat valve. The first seat valve is designed as a valve aperture with a valve opening and a valve control edge and with a ball-shaped closing element that co-operates with the valve control edge. The valve opening and the ball-shaped closing element are designed such that the ratio of the diameter of the valve opening to the diameter of the ball-shaped closing element is equal to at least 0.75.

Abstract: A valve device having at least one inflow area and first and second outflow areas, which are connected with one another with regard to the flow through two poppet valves. Through the first poppet valve, a fluid inflow from the inflow area to the first and second outflow areas can be adjusted and a fluid outflow, through the second poppet valve between the first and the second outflow areas can be adjusted. The second poppet valve is designed as a cone poppet valve with a cone shaped closure body. Located upstream of the second poppet valve, between the first and the second outflow area, is a flow guide device which is designed to provide the fluid, which flows in the direction of the second poppet valve, with a swirl. The closure body of the second poppet valve has a cone angle of 60°+/?10°.

Abstract: A pressure control valve unit (10) for a fluid with at least one inlet area (P) and first and second outlet areas (A, T) which can be connected for fluid flow with one another by two mutually coupled seat valves (23, 24).

Abstract: A pressure control valve device with at least one inlet area and first and second outlet areas which can be connected by two poppet valves. A flow guide device (21), with inflow and outflow areas (22, 23) for guiding the fluid flowing from the inlet area in a defined manner in the direction of the second poppet valve, is located upstream of the second poppet valve, between the first and second outlet areas.

An actuating element (11) cooperates with the armature, actuating the spherical closing mechanism (7).

According to invention, the ratio of the length of the valve (L) to the diameter of the valve (d) is less than 2.0.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and a device for machine diagnosis and, in particular, for transmission diagnosis in a machine or motor vehicle. The measurement system, according to the invention, comprises a coil (2) wound on a coil core (11), on the surface of which ferritic wear particles (3) to be detected accumulate. Opposite the coil (2) a rotating toothed wheel (6) is arranged which influences the inductance of the coil (2). The output signal of the coil (2) is pulsed with a constant amplitude, the pulse frequency depends on the rotation speed of the toothed wheel (6). Deviations of the amplitude are attributable to the accumulation of ferritic wear particles (3) on the coil (2) and therefore provide a measurement of the condition of the machine or transmission.
