  • Patent number: 8935919
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a load sensing hydraulic system, having a bypass valve (F), which is controlled by a pump pressure (P) and which when the hydraulic system is in operation diverts a pump flow of hydraulic fluid to a tank (E). The bypass valve (F) is pre-stressed towards a closed position and is put on load by the pump pressure (P) towards an open position against the action of the pre-stress. When the hydraulic system operates in a idling operation a first pre-stress element (I) limits the pre-stress to a first pressure and upon activation of the hydraulic system, a pressure regulator (10) increases the pre-stress to a second, substantially higher pressure by applying a hydraulic, constant second pre-stress force, that is added to the first pre-stress force and is substantially greater than this.

  • Patent number: 8833391
    Abstract: A valve arrangement is provided for selectively connecting a source of fluid pressure to a consumer in order to actuate the consumer in a predetermined direction. The valve arrangement utilizes a valve cone arranged in the valve body which connects the valve ports with each other when the valve cone is in its open position, and is actuated by a holding force which is greater than the force acting on the pressurized fluid side of the valve cone and dependent on the medium pressure in the input port.

  • Patent number: 8800426
    Abstract: A hydraulic load control valve (10) accommodated between a hand valve (H) and a hydraulic engine (D) has got at least one proportional load control valve (E), controlled by the pump pressure independent of the flow of hydraulic fluid to the engine. The flow to the engine (D) flows via a non-return valve (12), that is prestressed to open at a pump pressure above the upper limit before a given pressure interval, within which the load control valve (E) is adjusted between completely closed and completely open position of the pump pressure.

  • Patent number: 7128088
    Abstract: A backflow assembly including a housing with a passage having at least one check valve positioned therein to permit fluid flow in one direction while preventing fluid flow in the reverse direction. The check valve includes a valve head connected to a stem having an outer surface. A hump extends radially outward from the outer surface of the stem. The stem is guided by a bushing during opening and closing of the valve. The bushing includes at least one retention member that moves along the outer surface of the stem during opening and closing of the valve. The interaction between the retention member and the hump on the outer surface of the stem causes a higher friction loss during opening and closing of the valve than other portions of the outer surface.
