Abstract: A hydraulic unit, in particular for lifting and lowering loads in stacking trucks, has at least one working cylinder (10). The piston/rod unit (12) of the cylinder is guided movably in a housing (22). By a hydraulic pump (25), the piston/rod unit can be extended in its one drive direction (30) and can be retracted in its other opposite drive direction (32). A control device (20) actuates the displacement movements to that effect. A storage device (38) is fed energy in one drive direction (32). The energy fed in can be called up from the storage device (38) to assist a displacement movement in an opposite drive direction (30).

Abstract: A pressure accumulator, especially a pulsation damper, includes an accumulator housing (10) and a piston element (28) disposed in it. A bellows-type separative element (30) is supported on the piston part (28) with its one end (32) and with its other end (34) on the accumulator housing (10). The separative element (30) separates two working chambers (26, 40) within the accumulator housing (10) from each other, especially a gas chamber (26) from a fluid chamber (40), in a fluid-tight, especially gas-tight manner. To one working chamber (26), in addition to a defined volumetric proportion of a working gas, is filled with a fluid. In this manner, the working gas allows for a compression to a certain degree and for a dampening and smoothening of the pulsations of the fluid medium migrating to and occurring on the fluid side of the accumulator.

Abstract: The invention relates to an attenuation device, particularly a pulsation attenuator, having a casing (1) defining a fluid chamber (11) through which a fluid may flow along a flow axis (7), and having an attenuation element made of a resilient material located within the casing (1). Said attenuation device is characterized in that the attenuation element has at least two annular bodies (15, 17) that are disposed in an at least partially overlapping manner, surrounding the flow axis (7) at least partially.

Abstract: A hydraulic accumulator, in particular a bladder accumulator, includes two at least partially adjacent plastic casings (12, 14). The first plastic casing (12) has a collar part (16) at least at one end thereof. To produce a leakproof accumulator arrangement economical to produce, a gap opening (24) between the casings (12, 14) extends up to a point at which the casings (12, 14) are positioned together in a coaxial manner, and a disk valve (50) is provided as a valve for controlling the supply and discharge of the medium in the opening (10).

Abstract: A hydraulic accumulator, especially a piston accumulator includes an accumulator housing (10) and a separating piston that can be longitudinally displaced in the accumulator housing (10) and divides two working chambers (12) inside the accumulator housing (10). The housing is sealed on each end by one cover part (16). At least one cover part is fixed, on one side (32) by a free longitudinal edge (34) of the accumulator housing (10). The edge is arranged against the cover part (16). By connecting the free longitudinal edge (34) of the accumulator housing (10) to the associated cover part (16) by a peripheral weld seam (46) for sealing at least one working chamber (12) from the environment in a gas-tight and/or fluid-tight manner, a reliable sealing is obtained by the weld seam (46). The weld seam also connects the free longitudinal edge (34) of the accumulator housing (10) to the associated cover part (16).

Abstract: A piston-type accumulator includes a separating piston (24) axially displaced inside an accumulator housing (10) and separating two spaces from one another inside the accumulator housing (10), particularly a gas side (22) from a liquid side (20) of the accumulator. Due to the fact that the separating piston (24) is predominantly or completely made of a plastic material, it can be provided with a very light weight reducing the overall installation weight of the piston-type accumulator.

Abstract: A valve, especially a gas safety valve includes a fluid-guiding path (32) that can be sealed by a sealing device (30) provided with a sealing surface (34). The sealing surface can be brought against an abutment surface (36) of an abutment part (38), and is at least partially inserted into a receiving region (40) of a receiving part (42). As the sealing device (30) is fixed inside the receiving region (40) in such a way that a counter-holding part (54) can be brought into contact with the sealing device (30) by connection to the receiving part (42), the sealing device is arranged inside the receiving region of the receiving part and is securely held in the receiving region.

Abstract: A filter element (8), especially for use in backwash filtering systems, includes a filtering element through which a contaminated fluid flows in at least one direction (24). An intercepting device (62) has at least one rod-shaped permanent magnet or electromagnet (64) that at least partially removes magnetizable, especially ferritic portions from the fluid, before the fluid flows through the filtering element. A detaching device (68) removes the magnetizable portions from the intercepting device (62). The detaching device (68) is configured by a stripper ring (70) that travels along the rod-shaped magnet (64) and removes the portions retained by the intercepting device (62). When the filtering element is backwashed, the stripper ring (70), moved by the fluid flow, detaches the portions retained by the intercepting device (62).

Abstract: A piston-type accumulator includes an accumulator housing provided in the form of a cylinder tube (1). A separating piston (15) separates two working spaces (5) and (6) from one another in the housing and can be displaced in an axial direction within a piston stroke area (19) of the cylinder tube (1). The cylindrical tube is closed at one axial end by a closure part (7). The closure part is defined by deforming a deforming area (9) of the wall of the cylinder tube (1). The deforming area adjoining the piston stroke area (19) is provided in the form of part that exists as a single piece with the housing. A stop body (25), which limits the movement of the separating piston (15) before reaching the deforming area (9), is provided inside the cylinder tube (1) at the location where the piston stroke area (19) transitions into the deforming area (9).

Abstract: A hydraulic accumulator includes a piston (3) capable of moving in an accumulator housing (1) in its axial direction and separating a gas side (5) from a liquid side (7) of the accumulator housing (1). Guide elements (9, 17) designed to co-operate with the accumulator housing wall (1), as well as at least one sealing element (15), are arranged at the periphery of the piston. The sealing element is arranged offset in the axial direction relative to the guide elements (9, 17), and is located between the guide elements. In the piston (3), a pressure compensating channel (19) forms, at the piston periphery, a liquid flow path between the liquid side (7) and a space (2) located between the guide element (17) nearest to the liquid side (7) and the sealing element immediately next in the axial direction. A device (25) reducing the cross-section of the passage of the pressure compensating channel (19) is located in it.

Abstract: A device for damping pressure surges in a fluid with a housing (10) and a piston (14) that can be longitudinally displaced inside the housing (10) against the pretensioning force of a spring energy store (12). The piston (14) interacts with another piston (24), which is guided in a connecting piece (26) of the housing (10) in a manner that enables it to be longitudinally displaced. During the operation of the device, the piston (14) exerts a pressure force onto the other piston (24) when the other piston is in any displacement position. Even pressure surges occurring with a high frequency can be reliably controlled in a functionally reliable manner.

Abstract: A device damps water hammers in hydraulic accumulators, in particular in piston accumulators. The device is embodied in the form of the accumulator component which operates as a throttle on a fluid flow and is inserted between internal elements (12) of the accumulator and a hydraulic network (14) to which the accumulator is connectable. The throttle is formed by at least one transfer area (24) having a predetermined cross-section in a valve element (16) which interrupts the fluid flow up to the transfer area (24) at one of the valve positions and releases it at its other position. The transfer area (24) has at least one free end with a funnel-shaped enlargement (26,28) oriented towards the inside of the accumulator (12) or towards the hydraulic network (14), thereby substantially improving damping such that noise emission is reduced to the greatest possible extent.
