Abstract: Disclosed is a valve device, comprising at least one valve piston arranged in a valve housing in a longitudinally displaceable manner, which valve piston is moved by means of a drive in conjunction with the assigned drive train and interconnects individual fluid ports present in the valve housing in a fluid-conveying manner or separates them from one another. A sensor device monitors the respective positions of the drive train and thus the respective positions of the valve piston in the valve housing.

Abstract: A hydropneumatic suspension system for vehicles, at least consisting of an axle suspension (10) and a cabin suspension (12), which for supplying them with pressurized fluid, can be connected to a pressure supply source, is characterized in that both the axle suspension (10) and the cabin suspension (12) can be actuated jointly by means of an control device (14), and in that, by means of a priority detection system (16) involving a sensor device (18) for the respective suspension (10, 12), the supply with pressurized fluid of the one suspension (10, 12) takes precedence depending on demand over the other suspension (12, 10).

Abstract: A control device for an oscillating axle suspension, in particular a front axle suspension, includes at least of one hydraulic accumulator device (10), a suspension device (12) and a proportional valve (14) having a valve piston (26). The proportional valve (14) is connected to the accumulator and suspension devices (10, 12) via fluid ports (16, 18, 20, 22). The valve piston (26) is actuatable by an electric motor (28), is longitudinally guided in a valve housing (24) of the proportional valve (14) and controls the fluid ports (16, 18, 20, 22) such that, in at least one functional position of the valve piston (26), the axle oscillation is provided while the suspension is blocked and, in at least one further second functional position of the valve piston (26), the suspension is provided while the axle oscillation is blocked.

Abstract: A spring-damper system includes at least a differential cylinder (4), a hydraulic accumulator (26) and a control valve device (1, 2). By at least one motor-pump unit (22), pressure fluid can be supplied to the annular end (6) or both the annular end (6) and the piston end (8) of the differential cylinder (4) in a closed circuit using the control valve device (1, 2).

Abstract: A control device for controlling a hydraulic consumer (2), such as a working cylinder, has at least one control valve (18) having a control spool (20). Control spool (20) is guided in a valve housing (22) in a longitudinally movable manner and is actuated by an electric motor (24). Electric motor (24) can be controlled by control electronics (MC), which receive input signals from a sensor device (58, 60, 62) detecting at least one operating state of the consumer (2).

Abstract: A valve arrangement for supplying pressure medium to a hydraulic consumer has two utility ports (A, B) for fluid connection to the consumer and has a first control valve. The first control valve (20) has a first intake (24) via which a first intake flow from the first utility port (A) to the consumer (10) is controllable, has a first return control orifice (26) via which a first return flow (28) from the consumer (10) via the second utility port (B) is controllable simultaneously with the first intake (24), has a second intake (34) via which a second intake flow from the second utility port (B) to the consumer (10) is controllable, and having a second return control orifice (36), via which a second return flow (38) from the consumer (10) via the first utility port (A) is controllable simultaneously with the second intake (34). A second control valve (40) has an intake control orifice (42) used to control the respective intake (24, 34) of the first control valve (20).
