  • Patent number: 11307599
    Abstract: A device includes a regulating piston (12) guided longitudinally movably in a housing (10) and interacting with a control edge (56), at a pressure supply port (P) that supplies a utility port (A) in regulating positions of the regulating piston (12) with fluid. The pressure can be preset via a fluid connection, pulling the regulating piston towards a closed position blocking this fluid connection due to occurring flow forces. The regulating piston (12) has a change of shape (60) from its general outer basic shape in the area of the control edge (56) of the housing (10) for a flow force compensation. A flow contact surface for fluid is provided causing a compensating force acting against the flow force to be introduced into the regulating piston (12), which flow force pulls the regulating piston (12) into an open position opposite from the blocked position.

  • Patent number: 11268544
    Abstract: A valve, in particular for use as a pressure compensator or maintenance-type component (38) in hydraulically actuated hoisting devices (2), has a valve housing (54) with a control port (40), a fluid inlet (64) and a fluid outlet (66). A regulating piston (68) is longitudinally displaceably in the valve housing (54) and acts against an energy storage device (70) in the form of a compression spring, bringing the regulating piston (68) into positions forming a fluid-conveying connection between the fluid inlet (40) and the fluid outlet (66) or blocking this connection by a control pressure existing at the control port (40). A first orifice (88) in the regulating piston (68) connects the control port (40) to a receiving space (62) for the energy storage device (70) in a fluid-conveying manner. A second orifice (90) is in an intermediate part (72) in the valve housing (54).

  • Patent number: 10865891
    Abstract: A control piston (12) is longitudinally displaceable in a housing (10) having two connection points (P, A) for fluid, and cooperates with a metering edge (34) of the housing (10) at a connection point (P). Point (P), in control positions of the control piston (12), supplies the connection point (A) with fluid via a fluid connection. The piston, as a result of occurring flow forces, tends to be drawn in the direction of a closing position that blocks one of these fluid connections. To compensate the flow force, the control piston (12) has, in the region of the control edge (34) of the housing (10), a shape modification (48) of its cylindrical exterior basic form (50), such that a flow contact surface (52) for fluid is created. The contact surface transfers a compensating force that acts against the flow force to the control piston (12) and that seeks to pull the control piston (12) into an opening position opposed to the closing position.

  • Patent number: 10458556
    Abstract: A valve device has a valve housing and a main piston (4) arranged in an axially slidable manner in a piston bore of the valve housing (2). A first consumer connection (A) and a second consumer connection (B) can be alternately connected to a pressure connection (P) and a tank connection (T1, T2) by the action of a first magnetic actuating system (6) and a second magnetic actuating system (8) with two pilot pistons (14, 16). In an actuated state of the respective pilot piston (14, 16), the main piston (4) follows the movement of the pilot piston (14, 16) due to the force ratio adjusting itself to actuate the fluid-carrying connection between the pilot chamber (10, 12) of the pilot piston (14,16) and the assignable tank connection (T1, T2) such that pilot oil flows.

  • Patent number: 10146235
    Abstract: A proportional pressure regulating valve has a valve piston (12) longitudinally movable in a valve housing (10) and connecting a utility connection (A) to a pressure supply connection (P) or to a tank or return flow connection (T) dependent on the displacement position of the valve piston. The valve piston is actuated by an actuation magnet (48) that can be supplied with current. A control device (50) is between the valve piston (12) and the actuation magnet (48), and allows the valve piston (12) to become pressureless on the valve piston side (52) facing the actuation magnet (48). The valve piston (12) is displaced in the direction of the actuation magnet (48) under the supply and/or utility connection pressure when the actuation magnet is not actuated.
