Abstract: A magnetic valve that switches at high differential pressures and furnishes a large flow cross section. The magnetic valve has an armature, which when current is supplied to a coil is movable toward a pole core counter to the force of a restoring spring. The armature is capable of opening an auxiliary valve of small sealing diameter directly and a main valve of large sealing diameter indirectly. The auxiliary valve and the main valve have a common closing body, which is movable relative to the armature with a limited stroke. The auxiliary valve communicates through a bore of the closing body with the outflow side of the magnetic valve. In the open position of the magnetic valve, the closing body is held in a position that blocks the auxiliary valve by the action of the second restoring spring. The magnetic valve is suitable in particular for slip-controlled hydraulic brake systems of motor vehicles.

Abstract: A valve assembly with a housing, a master valve and an auxiliary valve and an armature for the auxiliary valve and an electromagnet is proposed. In previous valve assemblies, in which the auxiliary valve, openable via the armature, serves to open the master valve, a master valve closing element is coupled via an idle stroke arrangement to the armature of the auxiliary valve closing element. If the armature traverses a first partial stroke, then the auxiliary valve is opened; if the armature traverses a further partial stroke, then via the idle stroke arrangement it can lift the master valve closing element from a master valve seat, if hydraulic forces are slight enough. Instead of the idle stroke arrangement, the master valve closing element is given its own armature, which is rigidly joined to the master valve closing element and acts in the opening direction. The valve assembly of the invention can advantageously be used in hydraulic vehicle brake systems that are set up for automatic braking.

Abstract: A magnetic valve that furnishes a large flow cross section and switches at high differential pressures. The magnetic valve has an armature, which when current is supplied to a coil is movable toward a pole core counter to the force of a first restoring spring. Guided on the armature is a valve closing member, movable longitudinally relative to the armature, of a seat valve. Also supported in the armature is a second restoring spring, which exerts a force acting in the direction of the pole core upon the valve closing member. The magnetic valve is especially suitable for slip-controlled hydraulic brake systems of motor vehicles.
