  • Patent number: 9803771
    Abstract: A latch device (12) for a hydraulic valve (10) is proposed. The latch device (12) comprises a housing (22) and a latch shaft (26), which is supported such that it can move in the housing (22). In order to create a latch device (12), independent of the hydraulic provisioning, the provision of at least one magnetizable ring beam arrangement (38), which is supported on the latch shaft (26), and an electric solenoid arrangement (40), located on the housing (22) around the ring beam arrangement (38) is also proposed, wherein by the supply of current to the solenoid arrangement (40), a positioning force can be produced on the ring beam arrangement (38). Furthermore, a hydraulic valve (10) with the corresponding latch device (12) and a hydraulic arrangement (92) for such a valve (10) are also proposed.

  • Publication number: 20110120297
    Abstract: A hydraulic circuit includes a control valve connected to a pump, a hydraulic reservoir, hydraulic work connections and a cylinder. A controllable check valve is connected between the work connections and the control valve. An overpressure safety device is connected between each work connection the corresponding check valve. In order to prevent sagging of a load on the cylinder, the overpressure safety device discharges hydraulic fluid between the check valve and the work connection to reduce an overpressure. The overpressure safety device includes an overpressure valve and a throttle connected downstream of this valve to throttle the flow of hydraulic fluid discharged through the overpressure safety device.
