Abstract: For a load independent control of a plurality of simultaneously actuable hydraulic users, a throttle valve (pressure compensator) is assigned to the control valve of each user at a location downstream with respect to the metering orifice formed by said control valves; said throttle valve is subjected in opening direction to the pump pressure and in closing direction, via a shuttle valve, either to a load pressure of the respective user or to a pressure which is determined by the highest load pressure occurring for one of said users. Said highest load pressure which is reported by a shuttle valve chain is supplied as control pressure to a pressure reducing valve, the input side thereof being connected with the pressure line of the pump and the output side thereof being connected to control lines leading to the throttle valves assigned to the individual control valves and to the control line for the pump control.

Abstract: A pilot controlled sequence valve having a pilot valve and a main valve is provided. This sequence valve is preferably used for switching on and switching off a charging operation of a hydraulic accumulator. The displacement volume of the main spool of the main valve is directed via an orifice to the tank when the switching into the pressureless circulation occurs.

Abstract: An automatic control including a memory is provided to be loaded with positional data for the automatic control of a cycle of motions of preferably a plurality of power members. The speed reading the data in and out is freely selectable. Accordingly programming a cycle of motions may be performed in a slow motion process, whereas the speed of reading out the data is selected such that an optimum operational speed is obtained. In addition to the automatic speed control a manual control is provided to interrupt the cycle motion of the automatic control to manually adjust the position or the power member. In returning to the automatic control the further cycle of motion is taken up again where it has been interrupted.

Abstract: A process is described for application of pressure on setting mechanisms of transmission elements, e.g., band brakes or disk clutches, of an automatic transmission, particularly of the transmission system of a vehicle. In the process the control pressure applied to the setting mechanism is varied in dependence on the operating conditions. In order to eliminate transition errors and improve adaptation of the meshing behavior of the switching element, the slide of the switching element is regulated at a value adapted to the operating condition involved of the transmission and/or the vehicle. Apparatus for the implementation of the process is also described, as well as a hydraulic control system for supplying the operational chamber of a setting mechanism at a transmission element, which operational chamber has a continual leakage.

Abstract: Described is a control circuit for a hydraulic power lift driven by a displacement pump which has a check valve releasable at least for lowering movements of the power lift, a actuation means switching the check valve off and on to control the flow from a pump line into an operating line leading to the power lift and vice-versa, and a load-sensing line carrying the load pressure and connected to the operating line, by which the variable-displacement pump is capable of being activated. The actuating means has an actuating unit switching the check valve off and on and a servo valve, activated simultaneously and controlling the flow to and from the power lift, with at least three switch positions. In the starting position of the actuating means, the latter connects the load-sensing line and the operating line, by way of the servo valve, with the tank and, after passage through a central position, the operating line with the pump line.

Abstract: The invention relates to a radial piston engine, particularly a radial piston motor comprising a cylinder block within which a plurality of pistons and rollers are reciprocally mounted for cooperation with a cam path provided by a cam disc. Detent means are used to releasably locate the cylinders and rollers in a position corresponding with the lower dead point position of the pistons.

Abstract: A proportional directional control valve in combination with a pressure compensator flow rate control valve opening towards a reservoir and a pressure unloading valve in the load- pressure- carrying control line for the compensator valve are provided to actuate the telescopic cylinder of a tipper truck. The valve device is connected to a pump of constant displacement. The operating speed of the telescopic cylinder is independent from the load to be lifted and the driving speed of the pump. Upon reaching a predetermined load pressure the pressure unloading valve is activated and the load pressure engaging the compensator valve towards closing direction is reduced via the reservoir such that the compensator valve opens and the pump displacement volume returns to the reservoir.

Abstract: For the relief of a highly pressurized hydraulic liquid in a working chamber of pilot controlled 2/2 poppet valve is used. The working chamber is further connected to a pressure relief valve, the output of which is connected to a control conduit extending between a control chamber of the 2/2 poppet valve and the pilot valve. The apparatus of the invention requires a shorter period of time for the pressure relief without the danger of relief noise.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pilot operated pressure reducing valve in which the pilot liquid (generally the pilot fluid) is taken from the low pressure side, wherein two pilot liguid connections (or conduits) from the low pressure side to the pilot valve are provided which the separate from each other. The one connection takes the pilot liquid (or fluid) from the control area of the control spool while the other connection takes the pilot liquid (or fluid) from outside the control range (or area) of the control spool. A check valve is provided to seperate said two connections and closes to the low pressure side. Thus, even for large volume flows and large pressure differentials, between the high pressure side and the low pressure side, good control- and stability characteristics are obtained.

Abstract: Disclosed is a preferably electrohydraulic control for a load-dependently operating variable displacement pump, which is equipped with a differential pressure control device for ensuring a predetermined pressure drop at the control edge of a directional valve integrated into the consumer supply line. The differential pressure control device has a servo valve, the valve spool of which can be brought out of a first position, increasing the output volume of the variable displacement pump, against the compressive force of a spring and of a control pressure led off from the supply pressure upstream of the directional valve, by the pump pressure into a second position, reducing the output volume.

Abstract: A hydrostatic drive system consists respectively of an adjustable primary and secondary unit which are connected together via a conduit train with impressed pressure. The volume flow of the primary unit is regulated in dependence upon the impressed pressure and the volume flow of the secondary unit as a function of the speed. To avoid pronounced dropping of the impressed pressure the power of the secondary unit is limited. For this purpose a circuit is provided in which the volume flows of the primary and secondary units are compared. The power limitation intervenes when the volume flow of the secondary unit exceeds the volume flow of the primary unit.

Abstract: In the neutral position of a directional control valve in which the connection of the constant pump to the consumer is interrupted the entire delivery of the constant pump is led via a bypass valve to the tank. According to the invention the regulating range of the bypass valve is increased by an additional connection which is controlled by a further piston which in the neutral position of the directional control valve is displaced by a weak spring into the open position and thus ensures a pressureless circulation of the pump working medium to the tank.

Abstract: A control device transmits hydraulic pressure from a continuously circulating pump to a hydraulic device. A pressure limiting valve communicates with the pump to exhaust the pump to reservoir when the system is in a stand-by mode. The control device includes a servo valve and a directional control valve. Movement of the latter relative to the former is possible in order to create a pressure back-up in a load indicating line which closes the pressure limiting valve, thereby increasing the pump pressure supplied to the servo valve when it is desired to initiate a working mode. Subsequent actuation of the servo valve causes hydraulic pressure to be supplied to or exhausted from the hydraulic device. Actuation of the servo valve is produced by hydraulic pressure which also communicates with the load indicating line via a one-way valve.

Abstract: A hydraulic lift is raised by hydraulic fluid which passes through a servo valve and is lowered when the servo valve exhausts the hydraulic lift to a reservoir. The hydraulic fluid travels to and from the lift through a service line in which a blocking valve is disposed. A control unit opens the blocking valve against a spring bias in response to the application of a control pressure to a control element disposed on one side of the control unit. The control pressure is supplied via a control line which also actuates the servo valve. A branch control line branches from the control line and applies pressure to another control element which acts counter to the first-mentioned control element. The branch control line includes tow throttles between which a discharge line is connected and communicates with the reservoir.

Abstract: The invention refers to a pilot controlled pressure relief valve comprising a pair of fluid ports to be operable in both directions of flow. The pressure relief valve is provided with a single pilot control valve 24 which allows for an equal actuating pressure in both flow directions.
