Publication number: 20240125396Abstract: A valve section for a hydraulic system includes at least a first hydraulic port and a second hydraulic port, a spool, a pressure channel, a collector channel, an inlet pressure compensator disposed between the pressure channel and the spool, and an outlet pressure compensator disposed between the spool and the collector channel. The spool selectively connects the first hydraulic port to the pressure channel and the second hydraulic port to the collector channel or connects the first hydraulic port to the collector channel and the second hydraulic port to the pressure channel. The inlet pressure compensator and the outlet pressure compensator are controllable via a signal pressure device. An external additional force component dependent on an operating state of the hydraulic system acts on the hydraulic port connected to the collector channel on the signal pressure device such that the inlet pressure compensator blocks the pressure channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Thomas WECHSEL, Martin HEUSSER

Patent number: 9618016Abstract: In a solar generator, comprising a reflector and an electrohydraulic sun-position tracking device with at least one hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic control seat valve, the reflector can be guided via the control seat valve to follow in synchronism with the course of the sun continuously and uninterruptedly. The control seat valve for regulating a pressure medium flow permanently supplied to the hydraulic cylinder comprises a seat surface and a sealing surface permanently pressed against each other with variable contact pressure, with which the pressure medium flow can be generated as controlled leakage. The sealing surface is made of a material that can be deformed by contact pressure. In the control seat valve, the controlled leakage is set in a control position at least substantially without lifting movement exclusively by the relative material deformation of the sealing surface on the seat surface, which deformation is set via the contact pressure.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2013Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: HAWE HYDRAULIK SEInventors: Martin Heusser, Markus Imlauer, Andreas Nocker
