  • Patent number: 5315828
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a valve assembly for the supply of users in hydraulic control systems with pressurized fluid for the load pressure (LS) independent control of several simultaneously actuated hydraulic users wherein the ratio of the partial flows once set is maintained at undersupply of the system with the pressurized fluid. When the demand of the users exceeds the maximum output flow of the variable displacement pump, the (high) priority users receive the demanded quantity whereas the low priority users receive a reduced quantity by switching the control pressure for the low (i.e. no) priority users via a directional control valve and a pressure relief valve to a lower pressure level. Only when undersupply of the entire system occurs, i.e. when the maximum output flow of the variable displacement pump is no more sufficient despite the limitation of the control pressure for the low priority users, then the presently flowing partial flows of all users are reduced proportionally.

  • Patent number: 5311974
    Abstract: A valve arrangement for a hydraulic transmission circuit, in particular for a change-under-load transmission with a clutch valve arrangement for controlling at least one clutch and/or start-up clutch with the aid of a pressure-regulating valve whose normal position can be influenced mechanically by a clutch pedal. The pressure-measuring area of the pressureregulating valve is connected to a control valve whose piston, acted on by the clutch pedal, can be brought, against the force of a spring placed between the pressure-regulating valve and the control valve, first of all out of a position that relieves the pressure-measuring area of load into a floating position in which the pressure-measuring area is connected to the pressure-regulating valve outlet. Then, and after traversing a certain path, it can be brought into contact with the valve body of the pressure-regulating valve.

  • Patent number: 5309881
    Abstract: An engine brake for a multicylinder internal combustion engine includes valves that can be periodically opened briefly, in each case outside the exhaust stroke. In the vicinity of the applicable valve drive, a hydraulic piston is provided that is triggered synchronously with the engine rpm via an associated control line by a hydraulic pressure distributor fed by a pump. To improve the accuracy of control over the entire engine rpm range, the various valves are assigned a central positive displacement pump that runs synchronously with the camshaft rpm and whose outlet line leads to the hydraulic pressure distributor, which has a distributor disk. In engine braking operation, an alternating connection of the applicable control line to either the pump outlet line or a low-pressure region of the hydraulic control circuit is effected synchronously with the engine rpm by means of the distributor disk.

  • Patent number: 5291915
    Abstract: A pressure relief valve system is provided that makes it possible to provide numerous varied pressure relief functions with a minimum of structural changes. For this purpose, a standard distributing valve housing is equipped with a valve core that makes it possible to construct a double-acting pressure relief valve with an individually adjustable pressure system on each valve side. However, there is also the possibility of completely shutting off the pressure system on one side. The valve core and/or the valve elements are preferably exchangeable, and the valve elements can be separately controlled by an adjusting device, for example in the form of a proportional magnet, to generate a pressure output signal corresponding to an input signal in each of the independent pressure systems independent of one another.

  • Patent number: 5236319
    Abstract: A vane pump or a vane motor is here specified, having a variable displacement volume. The vane pump has a vane rotor and an annular stator that surrounds the rotor eccentrically and that is stabilized by means of a piston arrangement for adjusting the eccentricity that determines the displacement volume. The piston arrangement includes at least one pendulum piston that is acted upon by a pressure medium, the pendulum piston being guided in a sealed manner in a housing bore by a piston head that delimits a control space. To simplify the assembly and to decrease manufacturing costs while simultaneously improving the sealing action and increasing the peripheral life of the guide surfaces, plastic rings, which are composed of wear resistant, sliding material, or are prestressed radially, to guide the piston in the piston bore and to seal the control space are embedded, inserted or emplaced in the piston head.
