  • Patent number: 12345347
    Abstract: A housing unit for a hydraulic valve with an actuating device includes a first housing part with an internal thread and a second housing part with an external thread. A valve piston is disposed in the first housing part and an actuating element of the actuating device is disposed in the second housing part. The actuating element is operatively connected to the valve piston in the axial direction. The second housing part is only partially screwed into the first housing part in the assembled state of the housing unit. The housing unit further includes a securing device, which prevents a relative movement between the internal thread and the external thread in the assembled state of the housing unit in such a way that an operating point of the actuating device is set.
