  • Patent number: 7591448
    Abstract: A hydraulic control valve system comprising a hydraulic valve block with a plurality of control valve segments arranged in a juxtaposed manner, each control valve segment comprising a first line, for example a pump line, a second line, for example a return line, and a displaceable valve rod adapted to open and close the first line, respectively close and open the second line to varying degrees depending on a position of the valve rod. The valve system further has a plurality of actuators arranged in a juxtaposed manner, one actuator for each valve segment, each actuator comprising an electrical motor connected to a respective said valve rod through a coupling mechanism.
    Type: Grant
