Patent number: 11307599Abstract: A device includes a regulating piston (12) guided longitudinally movably in a housing (10) and interacting with a control edge (56), at a pressure supply port (P) that supplies a utility port (A) in regulating positions of the regulating piston (12) with fluid. The pressure can be preset via a fluid connection, pulling the regulating piston towards a closed position blocking this fluid connection due to occurring flow forces. The regulating piston (12) has a change of shape (60) from its general outer basic shape in the area of the control edge (56) of the housing (10) for a flow force compensation. A flow contact surface for fluid is provided causing a compensating force acting against the flow force to be introduced into the regulating piston (12), which flow force pulls the regulating piston (12) into an open position opposite from the blocked position.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2018Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: HYDAC FLUIDTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Markus Bill, Frank Schulz

Patent number: 10871177Abstract: A discharge pressure scale (30) includes a valve housing (41) having a functional connector (A), a return flow connector (T) and a user connector (28). A valve piston (52) is guided such that it moves longitudinally against the effect of an energy accumulator (42), moving from a respective opening or regulating position, against a valve seat (94), into a closed position. The user connector (28) and return flow connectors (T) are separated from one another. The fluid pressure present at the user connector (28) can be guided onto a pressure-active surface (A1*) of the valve piston (52) by a pressure compensation device (70) in such a way that it moves into its respective opening or regulating position in a pressure-compensated manner due to the force of the energy accumulator (42).Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: HYDAC FLUIDTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Philipp Hilzendegen, Markus Bill, Maximilian Felix Hess

Patent number: 10678273Abstract: A pressure-regulating valve has a valve piston (10) subjected to the action of an energy store and guided longitudinally in a valve housing (12). The valve housing has a supply port (14), a utility port (16) and a tank port (18) actuated by a control part (20) closing with a sealing action. In connecting from the supply port to the utility port, a pressure reduction function is realized. In a fluidic connection from the utility port to the tank port, a pressure-limiting function is realized. The control part (20) has a control rod (22) with two control bodies (24, 26) spaced apart from one another. One control body (24) controls the connection between supply port (14) and utility port (16). The other control body (26) controls the connection between utility port (16) and tank port (18).Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2016Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: HYDAC FLUIDTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Maximilian Felix Hess, Markus Bill

Patent number: 10519988Abstract: A pressure retaining valve (1) has a main control piston (39) guided longitudinally displaceably in a single-piece or multiple-piece valve housing (29) and a non-return piston (43). In a pressure retaining position, a fluid-conducting connection between connection points (37a, 37b, 21) is shut off by the two pistons (39, 43). Connection point (37a) serves to feed media. Connection point (37b) discharges media. Connection point (21) leads to a hydraulic consumer. In a load-raising position, the two pistons (43) move relative to one another into a release position, in which the connection between the medium feed (37a) and the consumer is established. In a load-reducing position, the two pistons (39, 43) assume a spacing from one another such that the connection between the medium discharge (37b) and the consumer is established. A monitoring device (75) determines the individual switching positions of the pistons (39, 43) to ensure reliable functioning of the pressure retaining valve (1).Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2014Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: HYDAC FLUIDTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Gerd Schneider, Markus Bill
