Abstract: A method for providing a hose pipe connection is disclosed. Embodiments of the method start with a pipe having an enlarged end portion. A sleeve is introduced into the end of the flexible hose. The sleeve has an inner diameter that is equal to the inner diameter of the hose. In an embodiment, the inner diameter of the sleeve is increased while the end of the hose is already placed on the sleeve. The hose fitted with the sleeve is then introduced into the enlarged end of the pipe. Crimping of the enlarged end will then secure the sleeve and the hose and provide a fluid tight and mechanically sturdy connection.

Abstract: A connecting device for connecting a hose in a fluid-conveying system including a nipple and a compression sleeve. The nipple has a rotation-symmetrical hose-receiving section and, at a distance therefrom, an anti-twist section that is configured in a non-circular manner, at least after a connection has been established between said hose and the nipple. The compression sleeve is configured to extend over the hose-receiving section and over the anti-twist section. The compression sleeve is further configured for a positive-locking engagement with respect to a relative rotation in the anti-twist section. The anti-twist section is configured as a non-circular deformation of at least part of the nipple. A method for establishing an anti-twist connection between a nipple and a hose using a compression sleeve is also disclosed.

Abstract: A hydraulic connection comprises a connecting nipple, preferably of steel or of another metal, whereby, on said nipple's tube-shaped extension, a hydraulic hose is held by compression by means of a fitting. A swelling element is arranged between the extension and the hydraulic hose, said element being swellable in the hydraulic fluid. If hydraulic fluid were to advance through to the swelling element, said element will swell and block the path to more hydraulic fluid. Furthermore, by swelling, said element deforms the hydraulic hose in radially outward direction. In this region, the hydraulic hose is held by a fitting in the form of a metal sleeve so that said hose may not be displaced. In this manner, the force of pressure on the hydraulic hose is increased in an annular zone. A durable seal is achieved.

Another part (17) of the mount (3) firmly holds a section (27) of the covering (11) of the corrugated pipe hose assembly (2) in an axial direction and also with respect to tilting movements such that pivoting movements of the corrugated pipe hose assembly (2) do not result in a relative movement between the corrugated pipe (6) and the mount (3), especially with regard to one part (16).

Abstract: A connecting device for a hydraulic system is provided. In an embodiment, the device includes a valve provided in a passage channel that can be configured to switch flow based on a pressure differential between passage channel pressure and ambient pressure. In an embodiment, the connecting device may include a valve housing provided in the form of a bolt, and the valve housing may be configured for connection to an assembly unit.

Abstract: The inventive sliding valve (8) comprises a slide (18), which is mounted in a manner that enables it to move transversal to the passage channel (11). This valve is provided with an asymmetrical design whereby enabling the pressure prevailing in the passage channel (11) to reach a side of the slide (18) via suitable ducts (25, 26), whereas the other side is not subjected to any pressure or only to a constant low pressure. A pressure spring (29) works counter to the pressure and holds the slide (18) in the open position. In the event the fluid pressure prevails, the slide (18) is displaced into the blocking position in which it remains until the pressure falls below the switching limit once again.

Abstract: A servo drive includes a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder comprises a piston that is mounted in the cylinder and that delimits two working chambers. Relief lines connected to the working chambers via control orifices may aid the definition of the right and left end positions of the piston. The control orifices are exposed by the piston in its respective end positions, thus relieving the pressure in the active working chamber. An end stop, which may be predetermined by the position of the control orifices may be formed by the pressure relief that occurs at the relevant location in the working chamber. Such measure can relieve the pressure in the hydraulic pump, for instance in end stop positions.

Elastomeric seals 24, 25, as well as a soldering joint 34, if desired, can be provided as aids. However, in connection with a preferred embodiment the required sealing is already achieved by the strong pressure against each other of the metallic exterior of the corrugated pipe 6 and the metallic interior of the element 16.

Abstract: Hydraulic systems generally comprise expansion hose lines and other damping elements which are provided with one or several serially connected hose chambers according to the generated pressure pulsation. The damping measures of the inventive hydraulic system are initiated according to the prevailing pressure during operation thereof. The aim of the invention is to keep the loss of pressure low and save a significant amount of energy during continuous operations. Said aim is achieved by a direct line connection between the source of pressure and the user, which bypasses the dampers. Said bypass line is blocked by a valve when the pressure in the system increases.
