  • Publication number: 20240052935
    Abstract: An inlet section for use in a hydraulic distributor including a valve body and a slider with a first area and a second area. The inlet section further including said slider being longitudinally slidable within the valve body between a first position in which it prevents passage of fluid from a high pressure line to a low pressure line, and a second position in which it enables passage of fluid. The inlet section further including a main spring active on the second area of the slider in a direction consistent with action of the second pressure and a control device of the slider. The control device of the slider includes a mechanical actuator member selectively active on the slider in a direction consistent with the action of the first pressure on the first area of the slider so as to force the slider in the second position.

  • Patent number: 10100496
    Abstract: Hydraulic section (1) for use in a hydraulic distributor (10), comprising: a valve body (2); a main spool (3); pressure compensator (5) housed in a first hole in the valve body (2); a piston (11) housed in the first hole; an intermediate chamber (16) in fluid communication with the feed line (Pal), the intermediate chamber (16) extending at least partially in the first hole and being delimited by the rod (12) of the piston (11); two limiters (6, 7) and a drainage channel (18) pertaining to the intermediate chamber (16) for altering the pressure thereof and close the compensator (5).

  • Publication number: 20160032566
    Abstract: Hydraulic section (1) for use in a hydraulic distributor (10) comprising: a valve body (2) with a main spool (3); a piston (11); a flow regulating element (21) receiving the hydraulic fluid coming from a front chamber (30), the piston (11) having a head (12a) of the stem (12) engaged in the flow regulating element (21); an intermediate chamber (16) delimited by the stem (12) of the piston (11); control means (6, 7, 18) operatively active on the intermediate chamber (16) to alter its pressure so that the combined piston (11)—regulating element (21) system goes from a balance condition, in which the regulating element (21) is inactive, and a decoupling condition, in which the pressure of the front chamber (30) is decoupled from the pressure of the intermediate chamber (16).

  • Patent number: 9188286
    Abstract: Hydraulic system for actuating the hydraulic actuators of a working machine, the hydraulic system has a delivery, a discharge, a drainage line, a signal line, a main slide valve which actuates a corresponding hydraulic actuator, a safety slide valve integral with the main slide valve and adapted for opening or closing the drainage line itself, and a pressure compensator presenting a frontal chamber connectable by way of the main slide valve to the delivery and a rear chamber connected to the signal line; the drainage line connecting a node of the signal line to the discharge.
