Abstract: A phaser valve for a piston and cylinder assembly helps to keep a pair of pistons in phase with each other. The phaser valve includes a poppet which is slidable between opposing seats of a valve housing. The poppet includes a head and a stem, both the head and the stem having concave portions which facilitate the flow of hydraulic fluid across the valve. The poppet head has two generally conical ends, so that the head makes a fluid-tight seal with a seat when the head is urged towards either seat. Due to its construction, the phaser valve may be built to fit within a very small space, while still allowing a substantial flow of fluid when the head is not in abutment with one of the seats.

Abstract: A main stage in-line pressure control cartridge. The cartridge selectively controls flow in-line in the same direction. The cartridge is mounted inside a body and has a sliding control sleeve that can expose radial holes in the poppet to an open position and to seal the radial holes in a closed position. A retainer collar is located on the opposite end of the control sleeve. Flow is permitted in a direction from the control sleeve to the retainer collar. The body has a mating recess to accommodate a step in the retainer collar which prevents movement of the retainer collar towards the control sleeve. When fluid pressure is applied to the retainer collar in the direction of the control sleeve, the step in the retainer collar presses against the body thereby preventing the fluid pressure from moving the retainer collar. Thus, the cartridge only permits fluid flow in the direction from the control sleeve to the retainer collar but prevents fluid flow in the other direction.

Abstract: A main stage in-line pressure control cartridge. The cartridge selectively controls flow in-line in the same direction as opposed to directing flow at a 90 degree angle like other cartridges. A tubular poppet can be mounted into a body and has a sliding control sleeve that can expose radial holes in the poppet to an open position and to seal the radial holes in a closed position. The cartridge can be configured in numerous ways in order to serve many functions, such as a pressure relief valve, a counterbalance valve, and a flow control valve. The cartridge can also be configured to allow or prevent reverse flow.
