  • Patent number: 7575221
    Abstract: There is disclosed an adjusting device for a valve, especially a pressure control valve, comprising an axially displaceable control member on which a control spring acting on a valve body of the valve is supported. The control member is in rotational engagement with a catch connected to a handle for adjusting the control spring biasing. In accordance with the invention, the rotatable handle is connected to the catch such that first a radially projecting locking member is inserted in a recess in axial direction and subsequently is brought into an axial locking position by a relative displacement so as to lock the handle in axial direction with the catch.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6095177
    Abstract: A precontrolled 3-way pressure control valve with a main valve having, in a valve housing, a valve bore with first, second and third control chambers connected with pressure connection, tank connection, and control connection, respectively, a control piston displaceable in a valve bore, wherein the third control chamber is connectable with the first or second control chambers, and subjectable in opposite direction to pressures from the control connection and pressure setting of a pilot valve. With deviation of pressure applied in control connection from pressure setting of the pilot valve, an imbalance of forces develops in the valve. Oblong holes, distributed over circumference of hollow control piston pass through the wall, are located in the wall radially delimiting its hollow chamber, which holes are longer than clearances between two control chambers.

  • Patent number: 5857479
    Abstract: A precontrolled three-way pressure reduction valve having essentially vibration-free operation is encased in a cartridge and has a hollow control piston wherein a working fluid space is formed as a T-shaped cavity within the control piston. In the cavity, there are axial and transverse bores of approximately the same diameter. A groove encircles the control piston, and has a width which is slightly larger than a diameter of the transverse bore, the transverse bore communicating with the groove.
