  • Patent number: 9908501
    Abstract: A device for controlling a volumetric flow rate of a medium stored under pressure in order to activate an impact protection device, having a control module that includes a valve body having a stepped through-opening, and a control piston guided axially in the through-opening of the valve body, and a control valve that influences the movement of the control piston, the valve body having at a first end a closable medium inlet opening having a valve chamber. The control valve and the control module are situated in a common housing sleeve, the valve body of the control module being pressed into a first end of the housing sleeve until it comes to a stop on a housing shoulder, and the control valve being introduced into and fixed in a second end of the housing sleeve.

  • Publication number: 20150122115
    Abstract: A hydrostatic axial piston machine includes a drive shaft and a plurality of cylinder sleeves in which a spherical or ball-shaped section and a spherical or ball-shaped piston are inserted to delimit a respective displacer chamber. The sections are secured on a rotor, while the pistons are secured on a piston disk or piston drum. The piston disk is configured to be tilted at different pivoting angles relative to the rotor in a variable-displacement machine, or the piston disk is tilted continuously relative to the rotor in a constant-displacement machine. The rotor and the piston disk are coupled to one another for conjoint rotation by a driving device. The rotor and the piston disk can also be coupled indirectly by a drive shaft of the machine. A sliding joint axial with respect to a drive shaft is arranged between the rotor and the piston disk.
