  • 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: 10012219
    Abstract: A hydrostatic axial piston machine includes a swashplate with an oblique surface formed thereon. Working pistons, which revolve and are supported by the oblique surface, are axially positioned on the swashplate with respect to a drive shaft. An adjusting cylinder, coupled to the swashplate, is configured to produce a pivoting moment and pivot the swashplate about a pivoting axis. Displacement of the working cylinders per revolution around the drive shaft is adjustable by adjusting a pivoting angle of the oblique surface. The adjustment of the pivoting angle is configured to pass beyond zero degrees, such that the direction of rotation of the drive shaft is changeable. The pivoting axis is at a distance from an axis of rotation of the drive shaft, such that an internal counter pivoting moment counteracting the pivoting moment is produced during operation of the axial piston machine when the working pistons are subjected to pressure.

  • Publication number: 20170058877
    Abstract: A hydrostatic axial piston machine defines an adjustable displacement volume and includes a housing, a cylinder drum, a plurality of working pistons, a pivot cradle, and a plain bearing. The working pistons are received in the cylinder drum so as to be axially displaceable, and are supported on a sliding surface of the pivot cradle. The pivot cradle is configured to adjust the displacement volume, and is pivotably mounted on the plain bearing. The plain bearing is fixed with respect to the housing. The hydrostatic axial piston machine is configured to form at least one first hydrostatic relief pressure field between the plain bearing and the pivot cradle.

  • 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: 9268339
    Abstract: A hydraulic valve arrangement, in particular a control valve arrangement of an axial piston machine, includes at least two valves that have springs supported in each case on a spring seat. The two spring seats are connected to one another with a material-to-material fit in one or more of a non-positive manner and a positively locking manner.
