Patent number: 10865891Abstract: A control piston (12) is longitudinally displaceable in a housing (10) having two connection points (P, A) for fluid, and cooperates with a metering edge (34) of the housing (10) at a connection point (P). Point (P), in control positions of the control piston (12), supplies the connection point (A) with fluid via a fluid connection. The piston, as a result of occurring flow forces, tends to be drawn in the direction of a closing position that blocks one of these fluid connections. To compensate the flow force, the control piston (12) has, in the region of the control edge (34) of the housing (10), a shape modification (48) of its cylindrical exterior basic form (50), such that a flow contact surface (52) for fluid is created. The contact surface transfers a compensating force that acts against the flow force to the control piston (12) and that seeks to pull the control piston (12) into an opening position opposed to the closing position.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2017Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: HYDAC FLUIDTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Frank Schulz, Peter Bruck

Patent number: 10054241Abstract: A valve has a valve piston (12) guided longitudinally movably in a valve housing (10) and actuated by an operation device (14). In one valve piston position, a connection is produced between a pressure supply port (P) and a working port (A).
