Abstract: A valve has a control slide (4) guided in a valve housing (6) so as to be longitudinally movable. The control slide selectively connects a plurality of fluid connection points (P, T, A, B) in the valve housing (6) to each other in a fluid-conducting manner or disconnects the fluid connection points from each other, and can be electrically controlled by a stepper motor (2). The control slide (4) can be actuated by an emergency device (34, 52) in the event of a malfunction or failure.

Abstract: A control device, in particular for hydraulically controlling components of mobile working machines, has a pressure supply connection (P) and a tank or return connection (T) in addition to two user connections (A, B). Control and/or regulating valves (10, 14, 16, 18) are connected between the individual connections (P, T, A, B). Two control lines (C, Z) can control at least one of the control and/or regulating valves. A modular-type functional block (24, 26) is connected to at least one of the control lines (C, Z).

Abstract: The invention relates to a valve, having a control slide (4) guided in a valve housing (6) so as to be longitudinally movable, which control slide selectively connects a plurality of fluid connection points (P, T, A, B) in the valve housing (6) to each other in a fluid-conducting manner or disconnects said fluid connection points from each other and can be electrically controlled by means of a stepper motor (2). Said valve is characterized in that the control slide (4) can be actuated by means of an emergency device (34, 52) in the event of a malfunction or failure.

Abstract: A connecting apparatus connects to a main component (10) having a plurality of mutually adjacent fluid passage points (P?1, P?2, P?3, P?n . . . P?x). The connecting apparatus has a main body (12) controlling a fluid flow by a valve. A plurality of further fluid passage points (P1, P2, P3, Pn . . . Px) can be connected to each other in a fluid-conducting manner via the functional component (14) with assignable fluid passage points in the main component (10). One shut-off part, which shuts off the respective fluid passage point (P?2, P?3, P?n . . . P?x?1) in the main component (10) and/or in the fluid passage point remains unaffected by the functional component (14). In each case a fluid-conducting connection line (30, 32) is inside the main body (12) between the further fluid passage points (P1, P2, P3, Pn . . . Px) and the functional component (14) and can be shut off by a separate shut-off part, as long as the associated connection to the functional component (14) remains unused.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting apparatus, provided for fluid-conducting connection to at least one main component (10), which component has a plurality of mutually adjacent fluid passage points (P?1, P?2, P?3, P?n . . . P?x), said connecting apparatus having a main body (12), which serves to control a fluid flow by means of at least one functional component (14), such as a valve device; a plurality of further fluid passage points (P1, P2, P3, Pn . . . Px), which can be connected to each other in a fluid-conducting manner via the functional component (14) with assignable fluid passage points in the main component (10); and at least one shut-off part, which shuts off the respective fluid passage point (P?2, P?3, P?n . . . P?x?1 in the main component (10) and/or in the main body, said fluid passage point remaining unaffected by the functional component (14).

Abstract: A discharge arrangement of an agricultural harvesting machine comprises a retaining arrangement, a housing removably mounted onto the retaining arrangement, and a measuring device mounted within the housing. The measuring device is adapted to detect properties of the harvested crop. A cover arrangement is pivotably mounted onto the retaining arrangement to enclose the housing and the measuring device such that the housing and the measuring device are positioned between the cover arrangement and the discharge arrangement.

Abstract: A discharge elbow for a forage harvester. The discharge elbow includes a frame-shaped support assembly and at least one locking element attached to the inside of the support assembly.

Abstract: A harvesting machine with a discharge assembly for the transfer of harvested crop to a transport vehicle includes an actuator that is adapted to move the discharge assembly about a horizontal axis, thereby adjusting the height of the outlet end of the discharge assembly. A stop element can be moved between an active position and an inactive position. In the active position, the stop element limits the range of movement of the actuator such that the discharge assembly cannot be moved to a position that is lower than a lowest active position. In the inactive position, the stop element does not limit the range of movement of the actuator, thus the discharge assembly can be moved to a position that is lower than the lowest active position. Therefore, the discharge assembly remains above the lowest active position during the harvesting operation.

Abstract: The invention concerns the discharge arrangement of an agricultural harvesting machine with a lower ejection tower connected to the frame of the harvesting machine and an ejection elbow that includes the outlet end of the discharge arrangement supported in bearings, free to rotate, relative to the ejection tower by a slewing rim about a substantially vertical axis of rotation. A removable intermediate element is removably inserted between the ejection tower and the ejection elbow, the surface of the intermediate element that is in contact with the ejection tower and the surface in contact with the slewing rim extend at an angle to each other.

Abstract: A drive arrangement for selectively repositioning a discharge spout of an agricultural harvesting machine by rotating it about a substantially vertical axis includes a drive motor coupled to a driveline incorporating a slip clutch operable for interrupting power flow to the spout in response to the driving torque exceeding a predetermined threshold value so as to prevent damage to the spout and/or drive motor when the spout impacts or is driven against an obstacle. The overload clutch is constructed so as to resist spout movement after the clutch has interrupted the flow of power through the driveline and to automatically reestablish power flow once the cause for the overload no longer exists.
