Patent number: 5975233Abstract: A hydraulic system for a motor vehicle includes a hydraulic pump which has a hydraulic steering device including a steering motor and a steering valve which is movable from an intermediate position in opposing directions and by which hydraulic fluid lines to and from the steering motor are controlled. A ventilator motor with the bypass line are placed in series with the steering device between the latter and the hydraulic pump. The bypass valve aids the distribution of fluid flow through the ventilator motor and the bypass line for adjustment of the fluid flow in accordance with required cooling power. The bypass valve can be adjusted to allow more hydraulic fluid to flow through the bypass line during actuation of the steering valve, thereby to lower the system pressure for reduced cost and complexity of the hydraulic pump.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1997Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Mannesmann Rexroth AGInventor: Egon Eisenbacher

Patent number: 5829335Abstract: A control for a hydraulic drive or actuator is provided, wherein the actuator has pressurized operating fluid applied thereto, and wherein the operating fluid is directed through an electrically controlled valve for establishing the amount of operating fluid to be fed to the actuator. An electrical signal for controlling the valve is provided by a computing device. In the computing device, a predetermined desired value for the position (or travel), force, or pressure of the actuator or drive is continuously calculated based, at any given time, at least on one measured or simulated state variable indicative of a condition of the drive or actuator at the time of calculation. The calculated desired value determines the amplitude of the electrical signal directed to an electrical actuating device of the valve. The computing speed of the computing device for determining the respective desired value is faster than the actuating velocity or speed of the valve.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1996Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Mannesmann Rexroth GmbHInventors: Roland Ewald, Andreas Grimm
