Abstract: A shrouded valve assembly includes a valve with a valve pipe and a valve channel. A valve member in the valve channel can regulate flow of fluid through the valve channel. A valve shroud provides a valve shroud chamber. First and second shrouded pipe assemblies are on opposite sides of the valve, each including a pipe in fluid communication with a respective end of the valve channel, and a pipe shroud providing a pipe shroud chamber. Each pipe shroud chamber is in fluid communication with a respective end of the valve shroud chamber. The pipe assemblies are connected to the valve shroud by first and second connections and to the valve by third and fourth connections, the fourth connection more flexible than both the first connection and the second connection. Load passes between the pipe assemblies via the valve shroud rather than via the valve, protecting the valve from damage.

Abstract: An actuator position control system includes an electronic controller and encoder that control and monitor an actuator's position between its position limits, while mechanically actuated limit switches prevent attempts to exceed the actuator's position limits, even if there is a loss of calibration, software error, or electronic controller failure. When actuated, the limit switches provide position calibrating information to the electronic controller. Embodiments can control linear and/or rotary actuators. The encoder can include intermeshed gears and magnetic Hall-effect position sensors. A mechanically driven position indicator can visually indicate the actuator's position. An electromechanical control system can be included that can transition the actuator between its limits even in the event of electronic controller failure. Embodiments can alert a user if the electronic controller fails.

Abstract: A reservoir for a hydraulic system has a housing with an interior space and a fluid outlet, a hydraulic driving device coupled to a shaft extending in the housing to introduce a torque, and a separating device in the housing, for dividing the interior space into two separate sections. The fluid outlet is fluidically connected to a first section. The separating device extends along the shaft in the housing and sets the size ratio of the two separate sections by pivoting at least one first surface, coupled to the shaft, of the separating device about an axis defined by the shaft. The separating device is coupled to the hydraulic driving device such that the at least one first surface exerts a pressure on a fluid in the first section which is dependent on a surface area of the first surface and the torque.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of a combination valve assembly comprises a valve housing, an overpressure vent valve, a fill valve and a movable liquid overfill seal. The valve housing includes a longitudinal axis. The overpressure vent valve relieves excess pressure from the tank to which the assembly is affixed. The fill valve includes a fill valve pin actuatable between an open and closed configuration. The overfill seal is movable between a fluid sealing position and a fluid releasing position, and is elastically biased toward its fluid sealing position. In its fluid sealing position, the overfill seal prevents liquid from escaping the tank through the dip tube and outward of the valve assembly. Actuation of the fill valve pin toward its open position and movement of the overfill seal toward its fluid releasing position are preferably configured to both occur in the same direction, which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis.
