Abstract: In a screed with a basic screed and at least one extendable screed movable relative to the basic screed with a hydraulic cylinder and an electro-hydraulic control comprising a magnet-actuated directional control valve for at least controlling the direction of the hydraulic cylinder, the directional control valve for changing the rate of motion of the hydraulic cylinder is guided by an operator or automatically and is a proportional directional control valve (W) with proportional-electric direct actuation or proportional-electric-hydraulic pilot control. The proportional directional control valve for the hydraulic cylinder is connected on the actuation side with an electro-hydraulic control of a hydraulic system of the road finishing machine.

Abstract: In a paving screed E for a road paver F, the paving screed E comprises a base screed G and extension screeds A at the front side of the base screed, the extension screeds A being extendable and retractable and pivotable relative to the base screed G, a base guiding structure 18 pivotable relative to the base screed G, a guiding sub-structure 17 slidably guided in the base guiding structure 16, an extension guiding structure 16 slidably guided in the guiding sub-structure 17, and a sole plate frame structure 14 mounted to the extension guiding structure 16 and carrying an extension screed sole plate 11, substantially vertical guidances 20 and elevation adjustment assemblies 21 between the sole plate frame structure 14 and the extension guiding structure 16, the vertical guidances 20 and the elevation adjustment assemblies 21 facilitating to adjust the elevation of the sole plate frame structure 14 and the extension screed sole plate 11 parallel to itself and relative to the extension guiding structure 16.

Abstract: According to a method for laying a paving mat with a paving screed, the paving mat comprising a lane and a downwardly inclined slope beginning at a transition to the outside, the paving screed comprising a base screed and at least one extension screed which is extendable and retractable by a sliding motion in a sliding direction parallel to the base screed for varying the working width of the paving screed, the base screed and the extension screed having sole plates at the lower sides, with the sole plate of the extension screed being inclined laterally for forming the slope with the angle of the slope, a lateral position of the transition is first set relative to the base screed, during or after setting the lateral position a height difference is measured perpendicular to the planum between a fixed measuring location at the base screed and a location along a reference line extending parallel to the sole plate of the extension screed, the measured height difference being converted into a target value, and in

Abstract: A paving screed comprises a base screed and extension screeds each of which is support via an extension guiding structure at a guidance fixed in the base screed such that each extension screed can be extended and retracted. A multiple point suspension is provided between the extension guiding structure and the guidance. A frame carrying the sole plate of the extension screed A is arranged below the extension guiding structure. Substantially vertical adjustment assemblies make it possible to adjust the height position of the frame via drives. A lateral inclination adjustment assembly is provided structurally separated from the adjustment assemblies either for the frame or within the frame for the sole plate of the extension screed.

Abstract: A road paver F has a paving screed E the working width of which can be adjusted continuously. In order to further enlarge the working width in steps at least one paving screed extension can be mounted. A distributing auger is supported in a distributing auger support. Distributing auger extensions can be mounted to the distributing auger. Scraper blades are arranged in casting travelling direction behind distributing auger. At least a scraper blade section functionally associated to a mounted paving screed extension is carried by a channel sheet steel plate being part of the mounted distributing auger extension. The scraper blade section can be adjusted in height direction together with the distributing auger support via a drive which can be remotely controlled during a casting process.

Abstract: A wheel suspension for a vehicle, in particular for utility and agricultural vehicles, has a hydro-pneumatic spring system arranged between a vehicle body and a wheel support that includes at least one hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic accumulator arrangement and an intervening valve arrangement. The hydro-pneumatic spring system contains at least two hydraulic accumulators. The hydraulic accumulators can be connected individually or in groups of more than one with the one or more hydraulic cylinders selectively by means of the valve arrangement. Preferably at least two of the hydraulic accumulators are provided with differing pre-loads. In addition load-sensitive damping, a blocking valve and a level control valve that can be controlled by a level control linkage with switches are provided.
