  • Publication number: 20050205337
    Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic steering with a steering initiator, a steering unit with feedback properties, which can be activated by the steering initiator, the steering unit having a supply connection arrangement with a pressure connection (P) and a tank connection (T) and a working connection arrangement with two working connections (L, R), an auxiliary-force operated steering valve, which is located in parallel with the steering unit between the supply connection arrangement (P, T) and the working connection arrangement (L, R), and a feedback suppressing device, which is active, when the steering valve is active. It is endeavoured to find a simple manner of ensuring the priority of the steering initiator over the steering valve. For this purpose, the steering initiator interacts with an activation sensor, which deactivates the feedback suppressing device on an activation of the steering initiator.

  • Publication number: 20050180873
    Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic machine with a set of teeth, having a toothed ring with an inner toothing and a gear wheel with an outer toothing, the gear wheel rotating and orbiting in the toothed ring, the inner toothing and the outer toothing touching each other in contact areas, thus separating pressure chambers, and with a valve arrangement controlling a connection between a connection arrangement having a high pressure connection and a low pressure connection, and the pressure chambers. It is endeavoured to achieve a stable operation, particularly with low speeds. For this purpose, each contact area is provided with an opening, which, at the time when a pressure chamber reaches an extreme value of its volume, produces a short-circuiting with the neighbouring pressure chamber.

  • Patent number: 6868863
    Abstract: The invention concerns a pressure reduction valve (1) with a housing (2a, 2b), a valve element (6) being displaceable in the housing and acted upon in one direction by a pressure in a low-pressure chamber connected with an outlet (11) and in the opposite direction by the force of a spring (16), which is arranged in a spring chamber (17) in the housing (2a). It is endeavoured to improve the dynamic behaviour of the pressure reduction valve. For this purpose, a pilot flow path (7, 23, 21) connects the low-pressure chamber (5) and the spring chamber (17) with each other.

  • Publication number: 20050022522
    Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic steering arrangement with a steering motor, a supply path between a pressure source and the steering motor, in which supply path a throttling device and a measuring motor are located, a return path between the steering motor and a pressure sink, in which return path a return throttle is located, and a bypass path, which connects the supply path and the return path on the pressure source end or the pressure sink end, respectively, and which has a bypass throttle. It is endeavoured to make such steering arrangements suitable for fast motorboats. For this purpose it is ensured that with a load on the steering motor the pressure drop over the bypass throttle is larger than the sum of the pressure drops between a point before the first throttle and a point after the last throttle of the throttling device.

  • Patent number: 6832903
    Abstract: A valve member includes an axially movable spool valve rotatably mounted in the valve member to cause the way that fluid is communicated between the inlet and outlet ports of the device and the volume chambers thereof. An outer surface of the spool has a configuration to react to fluid pressure to effect the timing between the gear set and the valving of valve member and that the timing therebetween will be adjusted when the spool valve is moved axially. A valve actuator comprising a spring loaded plunger controlled by fluid pressure at the inlet and outlet ports is in physical contact with one end of the valve spool.
