  • Patent number: 8757586
    Abstract: A solenoid arrangement comprises a pole tube which is axially subdivided into a pole core section, a transition section, and a tube section. A magnetic flux between the pole core section and the tube section is interrupted by the transition section. An armature is movably guided in the pole tube and has, at its end facing the pole core section, a flange which axially projects from an end face. According to the invention, the pole core section has a stepped depression into which the armature can plunge and which, starting from the transition section, is subdivided into an annular collar, a shoulder, and a notch which is set back axially and radially. An axial dimension of the collar exceeds an axial dimension of the flange.

  • Patent number: 8480055
    Abstract: The invention relates to a solenoid wherein a magnetic discontinuity is formed in the pole tube reducing the effective material thickness, such as by reducing the thickness, particularly the wall thickness of the magnetically active material, the front face of the armature facing the pole core and a bottom face in the interior of the pole tube at the pole core each have a contour allowing mutual axial overlapping. This enables advantageous influencing of the force-stroke characteristic curve of the solenoid with low production effort.

  • Publication number: 20040178377
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic regulating device (1) for a hydraulic control valve, comprising a housing (14, 15, 32) which comprises an electromagnet rotor arranged in a pressure pipe (2). Additionally, a distance measuring system (6) which detects the lift of the rotor is provided. Said pressure pipe (2) comprises a central thread (3) on one end thereof for securing onto the control valve and is made of a rotor conduit (7) and a sensor pipe which is connect thereto in a tight and secure manner. Said rotor conduit (7) lifts the rotor and supports a magnetic coil (5). Said sensor pipe (8) comprises a sensor coil (21) for detecting the way. Securing means are also provided for components which are semi-mounted on the pressure pipe (2). In the area at the end of the rotor conduit (7) orientated towards the sensor pipes (7), a collar (13) for holding the components arranged on the rotor conduit is provided and is firmly secured to said rotor conduit (7), rising above said conduit.

  • Patent number: 4480202
    Abstract: A magnetic linear drive includes an elongated cylindrical armature which is supported for axial displacement in a guiding pipe made of a pressure-resistant material. Two axially spaced solenoid windings are mounted on the guiding pipe and are interconnected by a permanent magnet. The solenoid windings are provided with lateral magnetically conducting cores the ends of which communicate with annular grooves formed in the guiding tube. The grooves are filled with a magnetically conductive material forming the poles of the electromagnet. In the region of the poles, the armature is formed with control flanges of different depths which are acted upon by the magnetic flux to impart the axial movement to the armature. One end of the armature is formed with a measuring flange which cooperates with measuring coils mounted on the guiding pipe.

  • Patent number: 4120233
    Abstract: Each consumer is provided with a load-compensated direction-reversing valve. Each valve performs a throttling function and a pressure-compensation function in order to establish a selected volumetric flow rate, and also a direction-control function. Each valve comprises a first control valve stage and a second control valve stage. One stage performs the throttling function, the other the pressure-compensation function. One of the two control valve stages also performs the direction-control function. The pressure drop across the stage which performs the throttling function at least in part controls the setting of the stage which performs the pressure-compensation function. Each valve is provided with an electromechanical transducer generating electrical signals indicative of the settings of the stage which performs the pressure-compensation function.

  • Patent number: 4072169
    Abstract: A hydraulic control system has a three-position valve which in its central position disconnects the high-pressure and low-pressure sides of a pressure source from outlet lines but connects these sides of the source together through a low-pressure valve. Moved to either of its end positions the valve is disconnected from between the sides of the pressure source and the output lines are connected to the high-pressure and low-pressure source sides. A pressure-limiting valve is connected between the sides of the source. In addition, the high-pressure side is connected via pressure-reducing valve and a restriction to a pair of pilot valves which are in turn connected to the low-pressure side. These pilot valves are also connected to opposite chambers of a pilot cylinder that controls the valve body. The pressure-reducing valve between the pilot valves and the high-pressure side maintains a medium-pressure level in the system when the valves move from its central position.
