  • Patent number: 5752426
    Abstract: A pilot pressure operated directional control valve is provided in which a housing is formed therein with a spool having a plurality of ports. The spool bore has a spool fittingly inserted therein so as to be slidably displaceable therein and the spool is slidably displaced both by a spring and under a pilot pressure led into a pressure receiving chamber. Also a spring box is attached to an end surface of the housing in a longitudinal direction of the spool. The spring box is provided with a hollow portion which contains the spring while forming a pressure receiving chamber, as well as a pilot pressure fluid inlet that communicates with the hollow portion and is open in the longitudinal direction of the spool.

  • Patent number: 5622206
    Abstract: A multiple valve includes first and second valve units respectively having first and second valve bodies. The first and second valve bodies have respective spool bores therein; and a respective spool is inserted in the spool bore of each of the first and second valve bodies. The first and second valve bodies of the first and second valve units also have inlet ports, tank ports, and first and second blocks having mounting holes, the blocks and a respective valve body being fixedly coupled together by means of stud bolts. The first block has a first threaded hole on one side surface thereof for receiving the stud bolt, and a second threaded hole on another side surface thereof for receiving a cover bolt. A pump passage, a main passage and a tank passage extend between the one side surface and the another side surface of the first block, and a stud bolt extends through the second block and is engaged with the first threaded hole.

  • Patent number: 5533334
    Abstract: A pressurized fluid supply system, in which a plurality of pressure compensation valves are connected to a pump discharge line of a hydraulic pump in parallel, and direction control valves are provided at the outlet side of each pressure compensation valve to supply a discharged pressurized fluid from the hydraulic pump to a plurality of actuators. The pressure compensation valves include a check valve portion establishing and blocking communication between the pump discharge line and the inlet port of the direction control valve, and a pressure reduction valve portion for supplying a reduced pressure from the pump discharge line. The check valve portion shifts in a valve opening direction in response to an inlet pressure and shifts in a valve closing direction in response to an outlet pressure. The pressure reduction valve portion has a first and a second pressure chamber.
