  • Patent number: 4811649
    Abstract: In hydraulic control devices comprising a two-way flow regulator in a resoir return passage, in which the flow regulator comprises a metering restriction and a pressure equalizer including a control piston with the piston ends disposed in control chambers and subjected to the action of control pressures, the actuation of a single-acting hydraulic motor under load often results in an unavoidable switching shock, because the displacement of the control piston involves the consumption of a certain volume of the pressure fluid. In order to eliminate the switching shock with a simple construction, the end of the control piston subjected to the action of the load pressure is formed as a closure element cooperating with a valve seat in the manner of a poppet valve for holding the load pressure.

  • Patent number: 4744542
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic control apparatus comprising a hydraulically adjustable throttle opening between an inlet passage and an outlet passage, a three-way pilot valve connected to an external actuator and having its inlet connected to a control pressure inlet passage, its control outlet being connected to the throttle valve in such a manner that the throttle valve element thereof is adapted to be biased in opposition to the pressure in the outlet passage and to the force of a spring. Known control apparatus require the employ of a displacement sensor for sensing the position or displacement of the throttle valve element and for correspondingly acting on the actuator to thereby vary the actuating force thereof for maintaining the opening degree of the throttle opening. This construction involves considerable complications. It is also disadvantageous that the pilot valve is subjected to the full operating pressure, requiring it to be of a highly accurate and therefor expensive construction.
