  • Patent number: 7770687
    Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic steering with a steering motor arrangement having at least one steering motor, and with at least two steering circuits, each having a steering valve that interrupts a path from a pressure supply to the steering motor arrangement in the neutral position and releases a path from the pressure supply to the steering motor arrangement on a movement out of the neutral position. It is endeavored to simplify the embodiment of such a steering. For this purpose, the steering valve (5a, 5b) has two end positions, one on each side of the neutral position, in which positions a path from the pressure supply (15, 21) to the steering motor arrangement (2) is interrupted.

  • Patent number: 7353744
    Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic control (1) with a supply connection arrangement (7) having a high-pressure connection (P) and a low-pressure connection (T), a working connection arrangement having two working connections (A, B) connectable with a consumer, a control valve (8) with a valve element (9) between the supply connection arrangement and the working connection arrangement and a compensation valve (11), which is located between the high-pressure connection (P) and the control valve (8) and is acted upon in the closing direction by a pressure between the compensation valve (11) and the control valve (8). It is endeavoured to ensure the most favourable energy consumption possible. For this purpose, in the opening direction the compensation valve (11) is acted upon by a pressure of a selection device (29, 30, 30?, 38), which optionally supplies the compensation valve (11) with a pressure control pressure or a flow control pressure.

  • Patent number: 6499505
    Abstract: A hydraulic valve arrangement includes 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 that is fixed to the housing thereby improving control accuracy.

  • Patent number: 5857331
    Abstract: A hydraulic system with a pressure source controllable via a load sensing signal, a pressure sink, at least two working sections, each having a hydraulic consumer and a control valve with a load sensing signal connection and at least one back-pressure valve arranged in a tank pipe between the control valve and the pressure sink. In such a system the pressure required from the pump in the neutral position must be as low as possible. On the other hand, however, oscillations should not occur, when an external force acts on another hydraulic consumer in the neutral position of a control valve. In the neutral position of the control valves the load sensing signal connection is therefore connected with the pressure sink via an auxiliary tank pipe by-passing the back-pressure valve.

  • Patent number: 5852935
    Abstract: The invention concerns a control valve with a housing, having a pump connection, a tank connection device, a working connection device and a load pressure connection device, each connected with an opening device in a control surface, and with a slide, arranged movably in the housing and co-operating with the control surface, the slide having grooves and/or channels, so that it connects or separates predetermined opening devices with/from each other. In such a control valve the tightness must be improved. For this purpose an additional auxiliary tank connection device is provided, which is connected with an auxiliary tank opening device in the control surface. The slide has an auxiliary tank pipe or groove, which, in its neutral position, connects the auxiliary tank opening device with the load pressure opening device.
