  • Patent number: 7980354
    Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic steering (1) with a supply connection arrangement (P, T), a steering motor (2) and a steering unit (3) between the supply connection arrangement and the steering motor (2), the steering unit (3) having a directional section (4) and a measuring section (5), a steering valve (9) being arranged in parallel to the steering unit (3). With such a steering, it is endeavored to achieve the best possible safety. For this purpose, it is ensured that for each steering direction the directional section (4) comprises a first outlet (A1L, A1R), which is connected to the steering motor (2) by means of a first pipe (23, 24), and a second outlet (A2L, A2R), which is connected to the steering motor (2) by means of a second pipe (25, 26), the first outlet (A1L, A1R) being, in the neutral position of the directional section (4), connected to the measuring section (5), and the first pipe (23, 24) being interruptible by means of a valve arrangement (27, 27a).

  • Publication number: 20060156914
    Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic control (1) with a supply connection arrangement (7) having a high-pressure connection (P) and a low-pressure connection (T), a working connection arrangement having two working connections (A, B) connectable with a consumer, a control valve (8) with a valve element (9) between the supply connection arrangement and the working connection arrangement and a compensation valve (11), which is located between the high-pressure connection (P) and the control valve (8) and is acted upon in the closing direction by a pressure between the compensation valve (11) and the control valve (8). It is endeavoured to ensure the most favourable energy consumption possible. For this purpose, in the opening direction the compensation valve (11) is acted upon by a pressure of a selection device (29, 30, 30?, 38), which optionally supplies the compensation valve (11) with a pressure control pressure or a flow control pressure.

  • Publication number: 20050205337
    Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic steering with a steering initiator, a steering unit with feedback properties, which can be activated by the steering initiator, the steering unit having a supply connection arrangement with a pressure connection (P) and a tank connection (T) and a working connection arrangement with two working connections (L, R), an auxiliary-force operated steering valve, which is located in parallel with the steering unit between the supply connection arrangement (P, T) and the working connection arrangement (L, R), and a feedback suppressing device, which is active, when the steering valve is active. It is endeavoured to find a simple manner of ensuring the priority of the steering initiator over the steering valve. For this purpose, the steering initiator interacts with an activation sensor, which deactivates the feedback suppressing device on an activation of the steering initiator.
