Patent number: 7168192Abstract: The invention concerns a driving device, particularly a lifting device for a working vehicle, with a hydraulic drive, in the form of a motor with a first connection and a second connection, a pump, a control valve arrangement between the pump and the drive, and an operating device with at least one operating element with a setting area, with which at least one parameter of the drive can be set. It is endeavoured to provide a simple manner of extending the functionality of the lifting device. For this purpose, it is ensured that the control valve arrangement is optionally controlling the drive to be single-acting or double-acting and the setting area has a first section, in which the drive is controlled to be single-acting and a second section, in which the drive is controlled to be double-acting.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2004Date of Patent: January 30, 2007Assignee: Sauer-Danfoss (Nordborg) A/SInventor: Martin Raadkjaer Joergensen

Patent number: 6739849Abstract: A gerotor motor has a housing located adjacent a port plate. The housing has two fluid chambers on opposite sides of a disc valve. The disc valve is in sealing surface engagement with the port plate to prevent fluid from moving between the fluid chambers. The valve assembly has forward and rearward sides and has substantially equal volumes of material removed therefrom so as to balance the port plate against any torsional forces imposed on the valve assembly which might otherwise deflect the valve assembly to interfere with its sealing relationship with the port plate.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2003Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Sauer-Danfoss (Nordborg) A/SInventors: Kim Rene Hansen, Claus Johansen, Rene Andersen
