  • Patent number: 4716727
    Abstract: The hydraulic device is provided, by way of example, with a pump (10) being driven by a Diesel motor (13) feeding pressure medium through wayvalves (18 to 20) to consumers. The speed regulator (14) of the injection pump of the Diesel motor is influenced with the assistance of a pressure admitted set cylinder (15) on which the pressure generated in a control line (16) acts for the purpose of increasing the speed of the internal combustion engine. This pressure is controlled in cooperation of one of the wayvalves (18) for a single acting consumer and a pressure control valve (28) in such a manner that when actuating a customary wayvalve a constant pressure is generated in line (16). When actuating the other wayvalve (18) a specific control edge (48) becomes active generating an increasing pressure in line (16) being proportional for the deflection of the control slide.

  • Patent number: 4537218
    Abstract: A hydraulic directional valve for an open circuit and with outwardly adjustable flow regulating valve has a base housing which can be insignificantly changed for different switching of the flow regulating valve so that its adjusting device is always easily accessible, is provided with a bridge passage extending from its central circulating chamber and having two branches with enclosed a feed chamber and extend in auxiliary openings one of which receives a valve insert whereas the other receives a locking plug, and have a transverse opening which connects two constant flow chambers with one another and with an upstream opening of the feed passage from a first embodiment in which a blocking portion obtains the constant stream, and also have a throughgoing feed passage to form a second embodiment in which only one directional valve has the constant stream, and can be provided with different switching options of the flow regulating valve and conversion of the left and right arrangements so that the adjusting devi

  • Patent number: 4503728
    Abstract: Disclosed is a click stop device assembled of three elongated securing units in the form of notched bars. The notched bars are disconnectably mounted to the inner circumference of supporting rings which surround an axially displaceable member provided with radially directed engaging balls. The cross section of the member and the corresponding contour of the supporting rings has hexagonal shape to prevent angular displacement.

  • Patent number: 4436114
    Abstract: A hydraulic valve mechanism has a housing with first and second bores, a control valve element in the first bore, a pressure compensation valve in the second bore, and a non-return valve cooperating with motor parts, wherein control edges for direction control are arranged on the control valve element only at one side of throttle means, the non-return valve is also arranged in the second bore of the housing, and the longitudinal valve element of the pressure compensation valve also forms a closing member of the non-return valve.

  • Patent number: 4246832
    Abstract: A control arrangement for a hydraulic force transmission, especially for a hydraulically operated lifting device on agricultural vehicles comprises, besides a main control slide, a pressure control slide and a blocking device, an auxiliary slide arranged in a bore of the pre-control slide. The hydraulic working fluid is fed from the main slide directly to the blocking device and a special arrangement of the auxiliary slide in the hydraulic control circuit permits a compact and simple construction of the control arrangement, while preventing tight throttling of the fluid in either direction of the flow.
