Abstract: A rotary pump with an improved seal on a control pressure chamber, including: a housing having a delivery chamber; a feed wheel rotatable in the delivery chamber; an actuating member surrounding the feed wheel forming delivery cells and moveable in the housing relative to the feed wheel. The control pressure chamber is delineated by the actuating member together with axially facing axial co-operating surfaces, forming an axial sealing gap and a radial sealing gap. A control fluid can be introduced into the control pressure chamber for applying pressure to the actuating member to exert an actuating force in the actuating direction; a restoring device for generating a restoring force; and a sealing element arranged on the actuating member or the circumferential co-operating surface. To compensate for a change in gap width of one of the axial sealing gaps, a base leakage cross-section is provided on the sealing element.

Abstract: A control valve for controlling a pressure fluid, said control valve comprising: a valve housing (10) comprising a valve inlet (P) for the pressure fluid, a control port (A, B) for connecting to an assembly which is to be operated using the pressure fluid, and a valve outlet (TA, TB); a valve piston (20) which can be moved in the valve housing (10) along an axis (R) and which comprises a hollow space (21) through which the pressure fluid can flow from the valve inlet (P) to the control port (A, B); and a filter device (30) which is arranged in the control valve and comprises a filter cross-section (35) which filters the pressure fluid as it passes through it, wherein at least a part of the filter cross-section (35) of the filter device (30) is situated in the hollow space (21) of the valve piston (20).
