  • Patent number: 11754096
    Abstract: A pilot device for a hydraulic directional valve includes a displacement sensor, a pilot valve, an actuating device, a coil assembly, and a circuit board. The displacement sensor has a sensor axis and the pilot valve has a valve axis. The valve axis and the sensor axis are arranged substantially parallel to one another so as to lie in a reference plane. The actuating device and the coil assembly are arranged adjacent to one another. The circuit board is arranged parallel to the reference plane. In each case, to establish an electrical contact, the coil assembly, the actuating device, and an electrical plug connection are either soldered directly to the circuit board or are in breakable electrical contact with a respectively associated, rigid contact assembly. The contact assembly is soldered directly to the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 10544877
    Abstract: A pressure regulating valve includes a housing, control slide valve, coupling rod, armature, outlet port, and pressure transmission pin. The armature demarcates a first fluid space and a second fluid space from each other. The rod extends with a constant first outer cross-sectional shape in a direction of a longitudinal axis, and at least partially demarcates a third fluid space that fluidically connects the first fluid space to the outlet port. The pin extends with a constant second outer cross-sectional shape in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and at least partially delimits the third fluid space. The pin is positioned so that one end facing toward the armature projects into the control slide valve, and another end facing away from the armature is at least indirectly supported against the housing. A hydraulically effective area of the second shape is larger than a hydraulically effective area of the first shape.

  • Patent number: 9437955
    Abstract: A connector for electrical supply of a unit of the hydraulics which can be arranged or is arranged at a casing of such unit. Thereby at least one current path penetrates a connector bottom of the connector and the connector bottom is sealed with a silicone-containing compound against penetrating moisture in an area of this passage. The compound is an adhesive having high adhesive forces. A casing of a unit of the hydraulics can include such connector. A method of sealing a connector bottom of a connector penetrated by a current path is disclosed via which connector a unit of the hydraulics is adapted to be electrically supplied, the method includes a step of sealing a passage of the current path through the connector bottom with silicone-containing adhesive.

  • Patent number: 9027598
    Abstract: A steplessly adjustable hydraulic insert valve has a housing defining a radial direction and an end side in an installation direction. An inflow connector on the end side is connectable to a pressure medium source. First and second working connectors and a return connector are arranged in the radial direction. The return connector is connectable to a pressure medium tank. The housing has an axial bore and an actuator guided movably therein. The actuator can be held in an axial center position by at least one spring and is adjustable steplessly axially out of the center position by controllable actuation. At least one of the working connectors is fluidically connectable to the return connector by axial adjustment of the actuator. The actuator has a radial widened portion with first and second control edges for steplessly opening and/or closing first and second radial openings, respectively, of the return connector.

  • Publication number: 20140291563
    Abstract: An actuating device for a control body of a valve includes an armature guide configured to receive a magnetic armature and an armature plunger in such a manner that the magnetic armature and armature plunger can move in relation to a longitudinal direction. An outer thread is located on a longitudinal end of the armature guide that is remote from the armature plunger. The outer thread includes a first cross-sectional profile forming a thread tip that points towards an exterior. A holding nut having an inner thread is screwed onto the outer thread of the armature guide and lies at least indirectly on the synthetic material casing of the electrical coil. The inner thread includes a second cross-sectional profile that is complementary to the first cross-sectional profile, and a thread base configured in a clamping region in a gap free manner with respect to the first cross-sectional profile.
