Abstract: A leveling system for vehicles has at least one pressure-fluid-actuated work cylinder disposed between the vehicle body and the wheel suspension, a pressure fluid source and a pressure fluid sink for supplying pressure fluid to the actuator, and a proportional pressure regulating valve for controlling the flow of pressure fluid. The proportional pressure regulating valve has a main valve and a pilot control valve for controlling the main valve control slide into at least three slide positions; in the middle slide position the three controlled valve connections of the main valve are blocked off.

Abstract: An electrically controlled fuel injector unit for fuel injection in internal combustion engines, in which an injection pump, an injection nozzle, and between them a control valve and control magnet are fastened in a fuel injector unit housing. The control valve and the control magnet, including requisite conduits, are combined in a magnet valve housing to form a structural unit that is inserted as a whole into the fuel injector unit housing. The control valve and control magnet are disposed eccentrically in the magnet valve housing, and a high-pressure conduit that connects the pump work chamber to the injection nozzle extends on a side of the magnet valve housing having a greater accumulation of material resulting from the eccentricity.

Abstract: A fuel-injection nozzle for internal combustion engines having plurality of lip elements on a nozzle tube, the edges are adjacent to each other. The lip elements form an obtuse cone and are held together under a high pre-stressing pressure by a clamping sleeve and an end cap. Pressure build-up in the interior chamber of the nozzle tube elastically expands the lip edges, in which case gaps are created, which form flat spray streams through which fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber of the engine. When the fuel pressure in the interior chamber subsides the lip edges close to prevent any dirt from entering the slits.

Abstract: An apparatus for damping pressure fluctuations in hydraulic motor vehicle systems with an anti-skid and/or traction control system, the apparatus comprises a throttle and a pressure limiting valve. The apparatus comprises a sleeve-like housing with a screen-like throttle body received in it along with a prestressed compression spring with which the throttle body is supported on the bottom of the housing. The housing and the throttle body are embodied as molded sheet-metal parts. On its bottom, the housing has an opening, with a valve seat, made by stamping without metal cutting, of a pressure limiting valve, which is engaged by the throttle body, which has a stamped bulge of rounded shape. A throttle opening of the throttle body, located in the bulge, is disposed coaxially with the larger-diameter opening of the housing. The apparatus can be used in hydraulic motor vehicle brake systems with an anti-skid and/or traction control system.

Abstract: A shock absorber damping system including at least one cylinder including a compensation chamber which is made to communicate with a pressure source. Thus the load-bearing capacity of the shock absorber can additionally be arbitrarily adjusted and varied within wide limits, independently of a damping of the shock absorber.

Abstract: A hydraulic valve control apparatus in an embodiment for multi-cylinder internal combustion engine having a reservoir chamber, assigned to a pressure chamber of a valve tappet and having a reservoir piston that serves as a valve, with which the reservoir chamber can be separated from the pressure chamber. The reservoir piston is shifted out of its position of repose to a reservoir function by a hydraulic thrust that is conducted in the reservoir chamber under the control of a magnet valve, via a control line in which a check valve is disposed. Displacement of the reservoir piston occurs only whenever a valve actuation takes place via the drive cam and as a result the working pressure adequate for the displacement of the reservoir piston prevails in the pressure chamber.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve and method in which a valve part consisting of a valve seat body and a support body with injection holes is pushed into a longitudinal orifice of a housing and firmly connected to a wall of the housing with the insertion depth determining the presetting of a valve needle lift. The precise setting of the valve needle lift is made on a fully assembled valve by deforming the valve part between fixing areas of the support body. The injection valve and the method of manufacture of the injection valve are particularly suitable for fuel injection units of mixture compressing engines with externally supplied ignition.

Abstract: An overpressure valve for a packaging container, which prevents air from the atmosphere from getting into the package and, in the case of gas-emitting material being packaged, reduces a resultant overpressure by venting gas. The overpressure includes a valve membrane stuck to a wall of the container on top of through holes. The membrane is secured to the wall with peripheral adhesive strips, leaving an adhesive-free zone above the through holes; the adhesive-free zone forms a valve member, and the congruent part of the wall forms a valve seat. The adhesive strips have a wedge shape, so that the transitional regions of the adhesive-free zone toward the adhesive strips, rest on the wall, and the raised peripheral regions form spacers for adjacent packages to permit operation of the overpressure valve while stacked one on the other.

Abstract: A valve for metering a fluid including a small upper plate, a small middle plate and a small lower plate. The small middle plate has a closing element with a diaphragm region surrounding the closing element. The stroke of the closing element is limited in an axial direction by the small upper plate and by a valve seat of the small lower plate. As a result, very accurate metering of the fluid is possible. The valve is especially suitable as an injection valve for injection systems of mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.

Abstract: A leveling system for motor vehicles, having two work actuators each assigned to one vehicle axle, between a respective wheel suspension in the vehicle body and having a proportional pressure control valve associated with each actuator. The pressure control valves have three switching positions for alternatingly connecting the pressure chambers of the associated actuators to a pressure fluid source and a pressure fluid tank, and for blocking off the pressure chambers. To prevent unstable driving conditions if the leveling system should fail, it is assured by structural provisions that in the pressure chamber blocking phase of the two actuators their two pressure chambers communicate with one another via a throttle. As a result, greatly different pressures in the two actuators at the moment they are blocked can be equalized, so that the unstable behavior of the vehicle is avoided.

Disposed on one of the bodies is a coil and a structured material that influences the inductance of the coil is disposed on the other body. The influence of the material varies along a travel distance to be measured. This serves to ascertain the control position. The travel measuring system according to the invention may be used in a shock absorber to ascertain a stroke.

Abstract: A potentiometer, which avoids problems caused when abraded material collects on the surface of the potentiometer track as a result of friction between the wiper contact and the potentiometer track, causing an undesirable increase in the contact resistance. Potentiometer track and wiper contact wear is also speeded up by this abrasion, which shortens the service life of the potentiometer. The novel potentiometer has a magnet, on a movable extension arm, that removes the abraded material from the surface of the potentiometer track in a contactless manner, thus preventing increased deposition of abraded material on the potentiometer track that would otherwise occur with increased time in operation. The novel potentiometer is especially suitable for air flow rate meters of mixture-compressing, externally ignited or air-compressing, self-igniting engines.
