Abstract: Methods and systems for operating a cylinder lock valve to control fluid flow to a hydraulic cylinder operating a drilling rig sub-system. The lock valve 1) allows fluid flow through the valve if pressure on a main and pilot area overcomes a closing spring force on the valve, or 2) blocks flow through the valve if a loss in charge pressure in the main and pilot area falls below the closing spring force on the valve.

Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic system comprising at least one hydraulic drive means (1), a conduit system (10) connected to the hydraulic drive means for conveying hydraulic liquid to and from the hydraulic drive means, where the conduit system comprises a conduit circuit (11) containing hydraulic liquid, connected to the hydraulic drive means, a pump (12) for generating a flow of hydraulic fluid in the conduit system and a motor (13) to power the pump. The pump (12) is arranged to control the flow of hydraulic liquid in said circuit (11), and the hydraulic drive means (1) is controllable substantially only by controlling the flow of hydraulic liquid in said circuit (11) by means of the pump (12).

Abstract: A valve and a device for actuating the rotation of a stand (4) of a motorcycle (2) comprising an hydraulic actuator (1) operating an actuating member (7) between a first and a second position bringing the stand (4) from a rest position (A) to a supporting position (B). A flow control hydraulic circuit (12-25) is provided allowing the return stroke of the actuating member (7) to the first position leaving the stand in the supporting position (B), whereby the stand can be brought to the rest position (A) independently from the actuating member (7). The device has the advantages that in case of lack of pressure in the hydraulic circuit the movement towards the rest position in which it remains is free as if the device does not exist. Moreover, it can be operated by a single drive and its encumbrance is minimal. Its installation on the vehicle, moreover, is not complex, and it does not have the drawback of the existing electromechanical systems.

Abstract: An actuating device (1) for the rotation of a stand (4) of a vehicle, such as a motorcycle or scooter, between a standing position and a rest position, and allowing also the reverse maneuver in order to rotate the stand from the position of vehicle on the stand up to that in which the vehicle lowers spontaneously. At least one hydraulic actuator (1) is provided that operates, between a first and a second position, an actuating member (7) or piston rod that engages with the stand (4) up to bringing it respectively from the rest position to the standing position. A flow control hydraulic circuit delivers pressurized liquid to the actuator (1) for moving the actuating member (7) from the first to the second position, and allows the back stroke of the actuating member (7) to the first position when the flow of the liquid ceases, whereby the stand (4) can be brought back to said rest position independently from the actuating member (7).

The variable displacement pump is electronically controlled and managed by a circuit which monitors, manages and controls (9) an angle of a cam plate which controls variable displacement of hydraulic pump (4).

Abstract: An electrohydraulic actuator has a housing divided into pump and cylinder portions respectively containing a centrifugal impeller driven through a hub by an externally mounted motor, and a pushrod actuated by a piston and arranged to advance the piston and pushrod to deliver thrust when the motor is operated. The major parts except the motor and the pushrod are castings and only one size castings are required for a large range of thrust capacities. The impeller casting is machined to a diameter suitable for a desired thrust and a motor of required speed and horsepower for that thrust capacity is selected to drive the impeller.

Abstract: A vehicle convertible top is moved by hydraulic cylinders between extreme raised and lowered positions. The cylinder ends are connected to ports in a reversible hydraulic pump in one end of an elongated housing, which has a reservoir in the other end, separated by a pump cap. The pump cap houses two fluid circuits connecting the pump to the ends of the cylinders. Each circuit has an end of cycle hydraulic locking device comprising a normally-closed valve and a valve actuator. The circuit valves are alternately opened by pump pressure to pressurize one end of the cylinders to alternately raise and lower the top. The opened valve closes when the pump ceases operation, preventing fluid backflow through the one circuit to the pump. This hydraulically locks the top in extreme raised and lowered positions to facilitate top latching and tonneau installation.

Abstract: An emergency shut-down system to close a gate valve in a pipeline and therefore terminate flow. The closing action is initiated when a pilot valve senses pressure in the pipeline outside predetermined limits. This reduces the signal pressure in the system which, in turn, causes a fluid dump from the gate valve actuator which closes the gate valve and terminates fluid flow in the pipeline. The system is reactivated by manually pumping the system which re-opens the gate valve and allows fluid flow in the pipeline to again continue.

Abstract: An airless hand held hydraulic pump unaffected by gravity continuously maintains pressure on the fluid in a dynamic reservoir chamber to enable pumping into a dynamic pressure chamber for actuating a forcing rod irrespective of the orientation of the pump. A release valve permits fluid return from the pressure chamber into the reservoir chamber. The pump can be fitted with a tool such as a door forcer.

Abstract: The piston of a reciprocating hydraulic actuator carries a pump which is driven by an electric motor and which supplies oil from the low pressure chamber of a cylinder to the high pressure chamber thereof in order to advance the piston. An exhaust valve in the piston is normally held in a closed position by magnetic force created by energizing a coil and, when closed, enables pressurization of the high pressure chamber of the cylinder. When a second coil is energized, the magnetic field of the first coil is negated and the valve is opened by a spring to permit oil to exhaust from the high pressure chamber to the low pressure chamber and permit a second spring to retract the piston. If both the pump motor and the second coil are de-energized, the first coil keeps the valve closed and causes the piston to remain in a commanded position.
