Abstract: The invention concerns a valve structure comprising a valve body, a chamber space disposed within the valve body, two running spindles and seats disposed to cooperate and placed within the chamber space, each running spindle enabling the aperture in the respective seat to be controlled. The valve structure comprises an input duct, a return duct and a working duct, the ducts being connected to the chamber space, a pressurized fluid being supplied through the input duct in the chamber space and the fluid being conducted through the controllable apertures with the aid of the running spindles either through the return duct out from the valve means to a tank or equivalent, or through the working duct to at least one power cylinder or equivalent, and the position of the running spindles and the size of the apertures being controlled with the aid of pilot valves.

Abstract: An electrically controlled valve apparatus includes an inlet conduit (2) for pressurized fluid, an outlet conduit (12) connected to a tank (T) and an outlet conduit (19) connected to an actuator, or cylinder (5). The valve apparatus comprises a chamber (5) connected to the inlet conduit (2) and provided with two openings (10, 11) each having operating spindles (6, 7). Pressurized fluid flows from the chamber (5) through the two openings via the outlet conduits (12, 19) onto the cylinder and into the tank, or from the cylinder into the tank according to the position of the operating spindles. The valve apparatus also comprises two throttle valves (42) for constricting conduits (52, 53; 40, 45) located between the back chambers (31, 24) of the operating spindles (6, 7) and the fluid tank (T). The operation of the throttle valves is adjusted by means of one or several electric actuators (55).
