For this purpose, said pressure scale is provided with a valve piston encompassing a first control edge, by means of which a first flow area between a feeding duct and the first metering diaphragm can be controlled. A second control edge which allows a second flow area to be controlled between the feeding duct and a load signaling line is provided on the valve piston of the first pressure scale.

Furthermore, a control arrangement is disclosed in which a load-holding function is integrated in the pressure compensator.

Abstract: What is disclosed is a hydraulic control system for a mobile equipment, in particular for a wheel or backhoe loader, wherein a shovel is linked to a boom. The angular position of the shovel may be kept constant through the intermediary of an orientation control device during a pivoting movement of the boom relative to the axles of the equipment. In accordance with the invention, the orientation control device is realized such that in the event of a change of a pre-set angular position, a control signal is generated through a pilot control device, whereby a shovel control unit may be controlled in such a manner that the shovel is again returned into its predetermined angular position.

Abstract: On a work appliance, an extension arm is held rotatably, and a scoop is held rotatably on the extension arm. Actuation of the extension arm and of the scoop is by means of hydraulic cylinders. Each cylinder is assigned a valve which controls the flow of pressure medium from a pump to the cylinder and from the latter to the tank. A rotational movement of the extension arm is accomplished with the top edge of the scoop maintaining its angular position when the extension arm is being raised or lowered. Valves which control the flow of pressure medium to the cylinders are activated with the ratio of the pressure medium quantities supplied to the cylinders being kept at a constant value independently of the size of the control signal controlling the flow of pressure medium to a cylinder for the actuation of the extension arm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic valve arrangement which is used, in particular, for a mobile machine and which has a valve housing (10) having a feed channel (34), having an outlet channel (42) and having a consumer channel (39) and has a valve bore (11) which cuts into the channels. In the valve bore (11), a valve slide (12) can be moved axially from a neutral position in at least one direction into a working position, by way of which valve slide (12) the fluidic connections between the channels can be controlled. Moreover, there is a pressure-relief and feed valve (45, 47), by way of which the pressure in the consumer channel (39) can be limited by throttled discharge of pressure fluid into the outlet channel (42) and pressure fluid can be fed from the outlet channel (42) into the consumer channel (39). The invention is based on the object of designing a hydraulic valve arrangement of this type in such a way that low manufacturing costs and a small overall size are possible.

Abstract: What is disclosed is a hydraulic control system for controlling a hydraulic consumer actuating a working tool of a mobile equipment that is provided with oscillation damping means for attenuating oscillations during braking of the working tool. In accordance with the invention, the oscillation damping means comprise two pilot-controlled shut-off valves arranged in opposite directions, that are positioned in a connecting line between a pressure medium supply and a pressure medium drain. The shut-off valves are subjected to the pressure in the drain and in the delivery, respectively, in the opening direction, and also to this pressure and to the force of a spring in the closing direction. Following a predetermined initial stroke of a regulator of the control system, the pressure acting on the drain-side shut-off valve in the closing direction may be reduced, so that the latter is opened by the pressure in the drain, and the connecting line between delivery and return is opened.
