Abstract: In a circuit arrangement for the supply of an electrical coil (L), particularly the coil of a solenoid valve, with a predetermined operating current from a voltage source with differing operating voltages (Ub) , the coil (L) is arranged in series with a first controllable circuit element (T2) and a current sensor (R), and the measuring signal of the current sensor (R) being compared with a reference value (Uref) through a first comparator (1). A timed switch (2) is triggered by the output signal (A) of the comparator (1) when the measuring signal exceeds said reference value, the first circuit element (T2), activated by an operating signal (M), being disconnected by the output signal of the timed switch (2), until the measuring signal exceeds the reference value again.

Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic line coupling arrangement of a consumer, with a pump line, a tank line and a safety valve in the pump line, the valve element of the safety valve being acted upon in the opening direction by an opening pressure from the pump line and in the closing direction by a closing pressure of a closing pressure connection. In such an arrangement it is desired to prevent overloading of the consumer. For this purpose, a pilot valve is provided for controlling the closing pressure, the position of the pilot valve being controlled by the pressure in the tank line.

Abstract: The invention concerns a steering arrangement (1) for a vehicle, in particular for an automotive machine, with a steering drive (4) controlled by a steering unit (8). In a steering arrangement of this kind, it is endeavoured to make the steering less straining for the operator. For this purpose the steering unit (8) has a keyboard (9) instead of a steering handwheel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for hydraulic steering, particularly of vehicles, according to which a steering unit (5) is supplied, in dependence of a load signal, with a controlled working pressure from a load signal line (20), the load signal being generated via a load signal fluid with a fluid flow, and to a hydraulic steering arrangement (1) for carrying through this method.

Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic valve arrangement with a control valve (3), which, in a first operating position (5), connects a motor connection (21) with a pump connection, in a second operating position (6), connects a motor connection with a tank connection, and, in a locking position (4), disconnects the motor connection (21) from the pump and tank connection. A locking valve (19) is coupled between the control valve (3) and the motor connection (21), dividing the motor line (22) into a first section (23) allocated to the control valve (3) and a second section (24) allocated to the motor connection (21). For the locking valve (19), a pressure release valve (20) in the shape of a seated valve is provided. The operating element (32) of said pressure release valve (20) is loaded in the closing direction by the pressure in the first section (23) and a spring (36) and in the opening direction by a constant control pressure (V) acting in dependence of the position of the control valve (3).
