  • Patent number: 10871177
    Abstract: A discharge pressure scale (30) includes a valve housing (41) having a functional connector (A), a return flow connector (T) and a user connector (28). A valve piston (52) is guided such that it moves longitudinally against the effect of an energy accumulator (42), moving from a respective opening or regulating position, against a valve seat (94), into a closed position. The user connector (28) and return flow connectors (T) are separated from one another. The fluid pressure present at the user connector (28) can be guided onto a pressure-active surface (A1*) of the valve piston (52) by a pressure compensation device (70) in such a way that it moves into its respective opening or regulating position in a pressure-compensated manner due to the force of the energy accumulator (42).

  • Patent number: 10054241
    Abstract: 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). In another valve piston position, a further fluid-conducting connection is produced between the working port (A) and a tank port (T). The pressure difference arising between the working port (A) and the tank port (T) as flow passes through the further fluid-conducting connection acts, by an actuation device (30), on the valve piston (12). The valve piston passes from a stop position (32), with the further fluid-conducting connection shut off, into a fully open opening position with an enlarged opening cross section from working port (A) to tank port (T).

  • Patent number: 9677575
    Abstract: A valve (18), for a valve assembly (10) for regulating the pressure of a fluid guided in a hydraulic system for supplying pressure to at least one hydraulic consumer (12a, 12b), includes a pilot control stage (48) and a main control stage (38) for at least partially clearing or blocking a fluid path from a supply connection (P) to an outflow connection (T). A relief stage (54) for pressure relief of a fluid chamber is arranged between the pilot control stage (48) and the main control stage (38). The relief stage (54) compares the existing load pressure at load terminal (LS) dedicated to the hydraulic consumer (12a, 12b) with the outflow pressure at the outflow connection (T), clearing the pressure relief if both pressures are approximately the same. The relief stage (54) can be directly connected to the load connection (LS) and can be charged with load pressure.

  • Patent number: 9631643
    Abstract: Device with hydraulic system actuates first and second hydraulic consumers. The hydraulic consumers (10, 12) can be supplied with fluid at a predefinable pressure at least via a flow divider (26) for dividing a fluid flow from a pressure supply (P) into predefinable part flows leading to the respective hydraulic consumer (10, 12). A fluid flow from the hydraulic consumer (10) with higher pressure loading via the flow divider (26) to the hydraulic consumer (12) with lower pressure loading can be suppressed by one shut-off device (38) arranged between the flow divider (26) and at least one hydraulic consumer (12). The shut-off device (38) is arranged in a fluidic connection (F2) from the flow divider (26) to the hydraulic consumer (12) with lower pressure loading.
