  • Publication number: 20260276424
    Abstract: A method for ascertaining and displaying a fill level of a press container is disclosed, in which at least one hydraulically actuatable press ram can be used to compact the contents in an interior of the press container. The method includes a) actuating the at least one hydraulic press ram; b) acquiring at least two operating parameters of the press ram during step a); c) evaluating the at least two operating parameters by comparing them with at least one previously known reference parameter; and d) displaying a fill level of the press container depending on the evaluation in step c). The disclosure also relates to an accordingly configured press container.

  • Patent number: 11015620
    Abstract: A servohydraulic drive includes a hydrostatic displacement machine, an electric machine that is mechanically speed-coupled with the displacement machine, a hydraulic cylinder that is fluidically connected to the displacement machine via first and second working lines, a hydraulic accumulator, and a supply unit. The displacement machine has a stroke that is adjustable via a hydraulic adjustment device. The cylinder is configured to be activated by reversal of the fluid flow through the displacement machine in opposite directions. The accumulator is preset to a low pressure and is fluidically connected via a valve assembly in each case to the lower pressure working line. The supply unit is configured to supply the adjustment device with pressurized fluid under the necessary pressure for the adjustment regardless of the present pressure in the working lines such that the displacement machine is configured for an active and load pressure-independent adjustment of its stroke volume.

  • Patent number: 8147210
    Abstract: A hydraulic assembly has a pressure medium container which at least partially encloses an electric motor, and a hydraulic pump which is driven by the electric motor using a simple, compact, and quiet design in a manner such that the electric motor is situated in the pressure medium container and is cooled by pressure medium without using the electric motor fan, in that the pressure medium container includes a partition which subdivides a pressure medium container interior at least partially into an intake region and a return region, and which maintains a certain level of pressure medium in the return region, and the electric motor is located in the return region of the pressure medium container.
