Patent number: 6430905Abstract: A hydraulic reel drive wherein the reel motor is driven by a hydraulic pump, which is adjustable in a continuous manner and operates therewith in a closed oil circulating system. The advantage of this arrangement is that the reel always rotates uniformly independently of the instantaneous load thereon. Another advantage thereof is that by using a hydraulic pump, which is adjustable in a continuous manner, only that amount of oil is ever circulated as is required to drive the reel at a predetermined rotational speed.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2001Date of Patent: August 13, 2002Assignee: CLAAS Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen GmbHInventors: Günter Eis, Norbert Strieker

Patent number: 6290599Abstract: A control unit for an agricultural harvesting machine is arranged so that the width of a passage or opening between two machine elements can be precisely adjusted as simply as possible. Adjustable stops are in the form of plungers are displaceably guided in cylinders. Each cylinder is connected to a multi-chamber pump which contains a displaceable stepped piston. Individual chambers of the multi-chamber pump and the steps of the piston are mutually matched so that the same quantity of hydraulic fluid is squeezed out from the two chambers of the multi-chamber pump and the plungers move in and out in synchronism. The control unit is particularly suitable for use in foragers, combines other agricultural harvesting machines.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1999Date of Patent: September 18, 2001Assignee: Claas Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen GmbHInventors: Günter Eis, Heinrich Isfort

Patent number: 6151874Abstract: A device for the control and adjustment of hydraulic cylinders on work attachments and assemblies of work machines, preferably self-propelled harvesting machines. Increasing the performance of harvesting machines for bringing in crops efficiently and without loss requires rapid, uncomplicated adaptation of the harvesting machines and front harvesting attachments to the respective load and operating conditions. The front harvesting attachments and wheel carriages are connected to the hydraulic circuit of the harvesting machine and driven automatically by means of the electronic control system as a function of the respective working and operating conditions.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 1999Date of Patent: November 28, 2000Assignee: Class KGaAInventor: Gunter Eis
