  • Patent number: 10774847
    Abstract: A pressure amplifier (1) is described comprising a housing (2) a low pressure chamber (9-12), a high pressure chamber (13-16) and for transmitting means between the low pressure chamber (9-12) and the high pressure chamber (13-16). Such a pressure amplifier should have a compact design. To this end the force transmitting means comprise a rotor (3) arranged in a bore (4) of the housing (2), wherein the rotor (3) comprises a radially extending low pressure wing (5, 6) and a radially extending high pressure wing (7, 8), the low pressure wing (5, 6) together with the housing (2) delimiting the low pressure chamber (9-12) and the high pressure wing (7, 8) together with the housing (2) delimiting the high pressure chamber (13-16), wherein a supply of fluid into the low pressure chamber (9-12) causes a rotation of the rotor (3) and a rotation of the rotor causes a decrease of volume of the high pressure chamber (13-16).

  • Patent number: 10309390
    Abstract: Control device for hydraulic variable displacement pumps operated in an open hydraulic circuit and adjustable in their displacement volume by means of a servo control device. The control device comprises a control piston with two control edges to which pressure can be applied by means of pressurized pressure fluid from a variable displacement pump, the control piston being mounted in a housing so that it shifts longitudinally. The housing of the control piston comprises an inlet for the connection of a high pressure line of a variable displacement pump, an outlet which can be connected to a tank and a servo connection which can be linked to a servo cylinder, whereby a link between the inlet and the servo connection can be made via a first control edge. It is possible to create a link between the servo connection and the outlet via a second control edge.
