  • Patent number: 9851015
    Abstract: A valve includes a housing, in which a first valve body is accommodated so that it is moveable in a direction of a longitudinal axis, a first valve seat configured to be closed by the first valve body and arranged on the housing, a first fluid flow path extending from a first connection via the first valve seat to a second connection, a second valve seat closeable by a moveable second valve body, the second valve body formed separately from the first valve body, a second fluid flow path extending from the first connection via a bypass duct in the first valve body, onwards via the second valve seat to the second connection, so that pressure at the first connection is limited upwardly by the first and the second valve body in that hydraulic fluid is led to the second connection via the first fluid flow path.

  • Patent number: 9512930
    Abstract: A pilot-controlled pressure control valve is disclosed. The pilot-controlled pressure control valve has a pilot control stage, a spool valve, and an overload spring. The pilot control stage includes a pilot control piston which has a pilot control spring. The pilot control spring acts in a closing direction of the pilot control stage. The pilot control spring is supported on the spool valve which can be positioned by a control pressure against the force of the overload spring. The control pressure is configured to set a preload of the pilot control spring. At the same time, in a loaded position, in which the pilot control valve has minimum preload, the spool valve rests against a stop. A preload of the overload spring and a position of the stop can be set independently of one another.

  • Patent number: 7118350
    Abstract: The invention relates to a radial piston pump unit for a high pressure injection system with a pump housing in which a driveshaft with an eccentric section is mounted. A reciprocating ring sits on the above section and drives at least one spring-loaded piston which may be displaced in a direction radial to the drive axis. The driveshaft is embodied to comprise an end region which as a floating mounting and is also the drive for a fuel supply pump.
