Abstract: A hydraulic control device is disclosed, having a pressure connection and a tank connection and having a metering pump unit (4) that comprises at least two metering pumps (5, 6) connected hydraulically in parallel and operable mechanically in parallel and also a cut-off valve (8) in hydraulic connection between the two metering pumps (5, 6), the cut-off valve (8) being flange-mounted on a metering pump (6) and having in a housing (13) a slider member (12) which, under pressure form the pressure connection (P), is movable axially towards the metering pump (6). It is desirable to keep wear and tear to a low level such a control device. For that purpose, a displacement-limiting device (26, 28) for the slider member (12) is provided, which prevents the slider member from bearing on the metering pump (6).

Abstract: A hydraulic control arrangement is disclosed having a directional valve, a metering pump unit which has two metering pumps which are connected hydraulically in parallel and are operable mechanically in parallel, and a shut-off valve in a hydraulic connection between the two metering pumps, a pump connection and a tank connection which are connected to the metering pump unit by way of the directional valve, and also two working connections which are connected to the directional valve, a control inlet of the shut-off valve being connected to the pump connection. Such a control unit should be constructed to be user-friendly, especially for emergency operation. For that purpose, a safety valve arrangement is arranged between the control inlet of the shut-off valve and the directional valve.
