  • Patent number: 10786845
    Abstract: An actuator device includes two drive units for an actuator output element. The first drive unit has a first piston chamber and a first piston displaceable therein and also first hydraulic means for displacing the piston. The second drive unit has a second piston chamber and a second piston displaceable therein and also second hydraulic or pneumatic means for displacing the piston. The second piston is joined to the actuator output element for conjoint movement therewith and can be coupled to the first piston for thrust, so that the second piston is displaceable in an outward direction by the first piston. The first drive unit is configured for a larger thrust force than the second drive unit, while the second drive unit is designed for a greater stroke speed than the first drive unit.

  • Patent number: 6205780
    Abstract: The invention related to a drive system with at least two hydraulic actuators, which are supplied with a hydraulic fluid by means of at least one pump. The drive system comprises at least one further second pump (15′) arranged parallel to the first pump (15), wherein the pumps are bi-directionally speed-regulated, and a valve arrangement (59) with one inlet per pump (61.1, 61.2), wherein each one of the inlets is connected to a pump (15), and with a number of outlets (63.1, 63.1′, . . . 63.4, 63.4′) which are connected to the actuators (1.1 . . . 1.4), wherein the inlets (61) can be connected to the outlets (63) in a pre-determined manner.

  • Patent number: 6006783
    Abstract: The invention deals with a magnetically actuatable valve, in particular a hydraulic valve, with a piston guided inside of a body for establishing at least one flow-through connection, with the piston being effectively connected with two electromagnets with electric junctions and disposed on both sides of the basic body, and with the electric connection of the electromagnets being established by a sole central junction plug which is electrically connected and mechanically fixed with contact pins disposed on the electromagnets.
