Abstract: Using the described method it is possible to manufacture an armature housing of a slide valve integrally including the connection sockets. The method makes use of two forging processes, which are both carried out in the same forging mould (1): The first forging process is designed as a forward flow pressing process, in which the blank (3) is forced into the lower region of the mould cavity (2) with the aid of a first mandrel (4) and thereby also fills the cylindrical recesses (2b) of the mould cavity (2), which correspond to the subsequent connection sockets. The second forging process is designed as a return flow pressing process, in which, by means of a second mandrel (5) having corresponding dimensions, the entire interior (12) of the subsequent armature housing is formed with the exception of the supply and outflow ducts which penetrate the connection sockets.

Abstract: A disk valve for a fluid under pressure, inside a housing (10), and comprising one, fixed plate cam (26), which has one port (32). A second, rotatable plate cam (34) which also has a port (36) is mounted above the fixed disk cam (26). The ports (32, 36) are eccentric to the axis of rotation of the rotating disk cam (34) such that they can be brought from an aligned open position into a misaligned closed position by rotating the rotating plate cam (34). A pressure relief surface (44, Ae), concentric to the axis of rotation, is provided on the rotating plate cam (34) and this surface is in contact with the outlet pressure of the fluid, in the closed position at least.

Abstract: A disc valve, in which the rotatable control disc (34) is securely held against the fixed control disc (26) with limited forces even when the pressure differences are great. For that purpose, a piston (44) is integrally formed on the rear side of the rotatable control disc (26), which piston is acted upon via a housing channel (66, 72) by the pressure prevailing at the valve outlet (14). The effective pressure-loaded surface area of the piston (44) is slightly smaller than the surface areas of the rotatable control disc (34) that are acted upon by pressure passing through the fixed control disc (26).

Abstract: Arrangement for damping linear movements intended for use on a safety valve. An arrangement for damping linear movements of the valve spindle (10) of a safety valve of small amplitude and high frequency comprises two counter-rotatable damping parts (18, 36) with intermeshing wall (22, 24, 32) which delimit narrow working gaps (44, 46) containing a high-viscosity silicone grease. The linear intake movement is converted by a threaded drive (12, 40) into a rotary movement during which the silicone grease (47) in the working gaps (44, 46) is subjected to shear forces and eliminates the unwanted energy by virtue of its internal friction.

Abstract: The ON behavior of a pressure switch or a valve (134) differs from its reset behavior by virtue of the fact that the movable pressurized part (126) is connected to one of the parts of a magnet assembly (112, 114) which are movable in relation to one another.

Abstract: In a servo-valve, a metal bellows (70) is fitted onto an end section (66) of valve stem (26,42) lying at a distance from the seal (22), one end of said metal bellows (70) being supported rigidly in housing (72), while its other end engages the end of the stem. The metal bellows (70) are located in a pressure chamber (62) which is connected by a condensate coil (74) to the valve intake (12), whereby the cross-sectional area of the metal bellows (70) is made to match the area of the passageway of the valve seat (16). In this way, it is possible to achieve an overall compensation of the forces at the seal (22) or a desired additional load in the closed or open direction.
