  • Patent number: 10570878
    Abstract: An adjusting device for an axial piston machine includes an actuating piston that delimits an actuating space configured to be connected to a control oil source or a control oil drain via a control valve. A control piston of the control valve is loaded firstly by a control spring and secondly by a spring arrangement that is also in active engagement with the actuating piston.

  • Patent number: 10180130
    Abstract: An electroproportionally controlled differential pressure valve cartridge includes actuation and tank ports on an outer circumference, and a pump port on a face-side. A spring preloads a piston into a position that relieves pressure from the actuation port to the tank port. A current increase through an electromagnet opposite the pump port and a pressure increase at the pump port counter the spring to open a connection from the pump port to the actuation port. A concentric opening extends from the pump port to a first piston surface. A duct extends from the first piston surface to a pump chamber. A further duct extends from the pump port to a spring chamber between the pump chamber and electromagnet. In the spring chamber, pressure over a second piston surface counters pressure over the first piston surface.

  • Patent number: 10072654
    Abstract: An electroproportional pressure control valve of cartridge-type construction is screwed into a housing bore of a hydrostatic pump. The cartridge includes an adjusting pressure port, a pump port, and a tank port. The adjusting pressure port is relieved to the tank port in a normal position of a spring-biased valve plunger of the pressure control valve. A connection from the pump port to the adjusting pressure port is opened counter to the force of the spring by increasing a current of an electromagnet and increasing the pump pressure at the pump port. The spring, the electromagnet, and the resultant force of the pump pressure act along a common axis of movement of the valve plunger. A first nozzle connects the adjusting pressure port to an adjusting pressure chamber. A second nozzle connects the adjusting pressure port to the tank port.

  • Patent number: 10054112
    Abstract: An adjustment device for regulating torque of a hydrostatic piston machine includes a piston delimiting a chamber, a regulation valve, feedback and regulation springs, and a member. The valve has a displaceable slide to enable pressure medium to flow into or out of the chamber, a measurement surface acted on by pressure from the piston machine, and a bore open to the chamber, a side facing the chamber acted on by a chamber pressure in a first direction. The feedback spring exerts force on the slide in the first direction, depending on a position of the piston. The regulation spring exerts force on the slide in a second direction opposite the first direction. The member has a surface as large as the side of the bore such that the chamber pressure exerts force on the slide in the second direction.

  • Patent number: 9518569
    Abstract: An adjustment device for a pivoting cradle of a hydraulic machine, in particular of an axial piston machine, is disclosed. Said adjustment device has an actuating piston to which pressure medium for pivoting the pivoting cradle about a pivoting axis is applied via an actuating pressure space. In order to control the feeding in of pressure medium and the relieving of the actuating pressure space, a control valve is provided. Said control valve has a control piston configured to be adjusted by an electric actuator, wherein the electric actuator is controlled by a control device. In this context, the control device controls the electric actuator as a function of a control difference formed from a setpoint pivoting angle and an actual pivoting angle of the pivoting cradle. The actual pivoting angle of the pivoting cradle is fed back electrically to the control device here.

  • Patent number: 9441747
    Abstract: A pressure/flow regulator includes a pressure control valve, a flow control valve, and a first control connection configured to set a variable displacement pump. The control connection is configured to be discharged to a tank by the flow control valve via a control edge of the pressure control valve that is open in the idle position of a valve piston of the pressure control valve.

  • Patent number: 9399985
    Abstract: A hydraulic valve arrangement, in particular a control valve arrangement, of a hydraulic machine, in particular a hydraulic pump, includes at least one valve with a valve body penetrated by a pressure medium passage. The pressure medium passage has a minimum cross section that gives rise, in normal operation, to a control pressure downstream of the minimum cross section in accordance with a pressure acting at a pressure port of the valve. The minimum cross section is arranged close to a pressure medium passage mouth which is arranged upstream or is configured to be subjected to the high pressure. A hydraulic machine arrangement, in particular a pump arrangement, includes the hydraulic valve arrangement.

  • Patent number: 9280160
    Abstract: A regulating valve, in particular an electroproportional pivot-angle regulator for a variable-displacement pump, includes a piston bore formed in a valve housing and a regulating piston guided in the piston bore. The regulating piston is configured to be actuated in an adjusting direction via an actuator, in particular via a lifting magnet. The regulating piston is acted upon in the opposite direction by a spring force of a counterspring. The counterspring is supported via a spring plate on a supporting spring which is supported on the valve housing. The spring plate is tensioned between the supporting spring and an adjusting device by which the spring plate is configured to be displaced in relation to the valve housing in or opposite to the adjusting direction.
