  • Patent number: 9063545
    Abstract: A pressure-regulating arrangement includes a main line through which a flow can pass from an intake to an output and in which an adjustable nozzle is arranged. The pressure-regulating arrangement further includes a pressure-regulating valve having a pressure connection which is connected to the main line downstream of the nozzle. A valve body of the pressure-regulating valve is movable from a basic position in an opening direction to increase an outlet pressure of an outlet connection. A first pressure which is tapped off from the main line upstream of the nozzle acts in the opening direction. The outlet pressure and a second pressure, which is tapped off from the main line downstream of the nozzle, act in a closing direction, which is opposed to the opening direction, in order to reduce the outlet pressure.

  • Publication number: 20090133761
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control valve unit (9) for a variation device of a hydrostatic piston engine. The control valve unit (9) comprises a valve housing (34), in which a valve element is disposed in a longitudinally displaceable manner. The valve element is adjustable from a neutral position in the direction of a first end position and an oppositely directed second end position. With increasing adjustment of the valve element a first or a second output port (35a, 35b) is increasingly connected to an input port (12). The respective other output port (35b, 35a) is at the same time increasingly connected to a relief line (13). The valve element comprises a first valve piston (32a) and a second valve piston (32b), which act upon one another via an elastic element (27).

  • Patent number: 7131630
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnet for actuating a valve. To this end, the electromagnet (28) comprises an armature (58), which can be axially displaced in an armature space (57, 77) and whose axial motion displaces a tappet (29) to the valve. The electromagnet is provided with reflux channel (71.1), which is connected to the armature space (57, 77) and via which the armature space (57, 77) is connected to a tank volume (25) in order to lead away a pressure medium leakage flow that is flowing out of the valve and into the armature space (57, 77).

  • Patent number: 6601602
    Abstract: A pressure-control valve (1) comprises a first control piston (1), which is disposed between a first pressure chamber (6), which adjoins the first control piston (1) and is connected to at least one working line (A, B), and a second pressure chamber (7), which adjoins the first control piston (1) and is pushed against a stop (3) by a first preloading spring (4). A throttle (8) connects the first pressure chamber (6) and the second pressure chamber (7). The second pressure chamber (7) is connected to a second control piston (11), which is preloaded by a second preloading spring (17) and which, when a predetermined pressure in the second pressure chamber (7) is exceeded, is displaced to an extent such that a control edge (12) of the second control piston (11) clears a connection of the second pressure chamber (7) to a hydraulic fluid discharge point (23).
