  • Patent number: 9140372
    Abstract: A pressure valve includes a spring plate configured to be displaced by a setting spindle. The setting spindle includes an adjustment screw configured to axially displace a spindle shaft on which the spring plate is provided. The adjustment screw and the spindle shaft are configured in such a way that virtually no torque is transmitted to the spindle shaft via the adjustment screw.

  • Patent number: 6843508
    Abstract: A hydraulic device having a nut part with a threaded hole which has an internal screw thread with a defined nominal diameter and with a defined, uniform pitch, and having a screw part which has an external screw thread with the same nominal diameter as the threaded hole and with a defined, uniform pitch, which is screwed into the threaded hole. (In hydraulic devices, screw parts, in particular nozzle bodies, are generally adhesively bonded in place, in order to prevent them from becoming detached. Adhesive bonding has certain drawbacks, since the screw threads have to be free of grease, and in the case of nozzles there is a risk of blockages, adhesive can enter the hydraulic circuit and also process reliability is not ensured during application.) There is provided a slight difference between the pitch of the internal screw thread of the nut part and the pitch of the external screw thread of the screw part.

  • Publication number: 20030103832
    Abstract: The invention is based on a hydraulic device having a nut part with a threaded hole which has an internal screw thread with a defined nominal diameter and with a defined, uniform pitch, and having a screw part which has an external screw thread with the same nominal diameter as the threaded hole and with a defined, uniform pitch, which is screwed into the threaded hole. In hydraulic devices, screw parts, in particular nozzle bodies, are generally adhesively bonded in place, in order to prevent them from becoming detached. Adhesive bonding has certain drawbacks, since the screw threads have to be free of grease, and in the case of nozzles there is a risk of blockages, adhesive can enter the hydraulic circuit and also process reliability is not ensured during application.

  • Patent number: 5996615
    Abstract: Disclosed is a 2-way flow control valve whereby a constant hydraulic fluid volume flow may be adjusted by serial arrangement of a restrictor orifice and a control orifice. In the case of a reverse flow through the flow control valve of the present invention, a check actuating element of the flow control valve may be displaced against the bias of its own check spring in such a way that a bypass channel which bypasses the restrictor orifice can be controlled open.

  • Patent number: 5868160
    Abstract: A two-way insert valve having an insert assembly which can be installed in a receiving bore hole and having a valve cover for closing the receiving bore hole, the insert assembly consisting of two parts, has a bush with several radial passages and with an axial passage and a ring arranged between the bush and the valve cover and has a valve piston by which a connection between the radial passages and the axial passage can be controlled and which is displaceable in opening direction up to a stop. A closing spring urges the valve piston in closed direction. The valve piston in its closed position is guided by the bush at least approximately up to the first end of the bush facing the ring.

  • Patent number: 5857479
    Abstract: A precontrolled three-way pressure reduction valve having essentially vibration-free operation is encased in a cartridge and has a hollow control piston wherein a working fluid space is formed as a T-shaped cavity within the control piston. In the cavity, there are axial and transverse bores of approximately the same diameter. A groove encircles the control piston, and has a width which is slightly larger than a diameter of the transverse bore, the transverse bore communicating with the groove.
