Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a valve, e.g., a proportional valve, comprising a main piston for actuating a main volumetric flow and a pilot piston for actuating a pilot volumetric flow. The main piston and the pilot piston are guided in a valve housing in a longitudinally movable manner, and the pilot piston can be actuated using a magnetic device. The position of the main piston can be set using the pilot piston which, based on the movement position thereof, signals the fluid pressure acting on the main piston into a pilot chamber via a fluidic connection or cuts of the fluid connection and connects the pilot chamber to a tank or low-pressure side via another fluidic connection into which a valve is introduced that closes in a leak-proof manner as soon as a fluidic connection is produced between the main piston and the pilot chamber.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system for improving the energy efficiency in hydraulic systems, comprising an actuator (49) which, in an operating state, operates as a consumer of hydraulic energy and, in a different operating state, as a generator of hydraulic energy, and a hydraulic accumulator (1) which, when in an operating state of the actuator (49), can be charged by the same for storing energy and, when in a different operating state, can be discharged for delivering energy to the actuator (49).

Abstract:
A valve device has a valve housing and a main piston (4) arranged in an axially slidable manner in a piston bore of the valve housing (2). A first consumer connection (A) and a second consumer connection (B) can be alternately connected to a pressure connection (P) and a tank connection (T1, T2) by the action of a first magnetic actuating system (6) and a second magnetic actuating system (8) with two pilot pistons (14, 16). In an actuated state of the respective pilot piston (14, 16), the main piston (4) follows the movement of the pilot piston (14, 16) due to the force ratio adjusting itself to actuate the fluid-carrying connection between the pilot chamber (10, 12) of the pilot piston (14,16) and the assignable tank connection (T1, T2) such that pilot oil flows.

A system for hydraulic systems includes a working cylinder (58) which operates as a consumer of hydraulic energy or as a generator of hydraulic energy. A hydraulic accumulator (1) can be charged by the working cylinder for storing energy and can be discharged for delivering energy to the working cylinder (58). One hydraulic accumulator is provided in the form of an adjustable hydropneumatic piston accumulator (1), in which with a plurality of pressure chambers (19, 21, 23, 25) adjoining effective surfaces (11, 13, 15, 17) of different sizes are on the fluid side of the accumulator piston (5).

Abstract:
A valve, in particular for hydraulic circuits, includes a valve body (4) designed as a cartridge that can be fixed in a housing (6) having fluid connections (8) by a securing device (20, 26, 28). The securing device has at least one blocking element (20) in the form of a separate component between the valve body (4) and the housing (6). The blocking element has blocking surfaces that can be moved relative to the longitudinal axis (18) of the valve body (4) between an assembly position allowing the valve body (4) to be inserted into the housing (6) and a blocking position in which the blocking surfaces secure the valve body in an assembly position, preferably with zero backlash by bearing against retaining surfaces (26, 28) of the housing (6) and the valve body (4).
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a valve, comprising a main plunger for controlling a main volume flow and comprising a pilot-control plunger for controlling a pilot-control volume flow. The main and pilot-control plungers are longitudinally moveably guided in a valve housing and the pilot-control plunger can be actuated by a magnetic device. The position of the main plunger can be adjusted by the pilot-control plunger in that a fluid pressure at the main plunger is communicated, via a fluid connection, into the pilot control chamber containing the pilot-control piston, which keeps the main plunger in its closed position blocking the main volume flow when the magnetic device is not actuated. When the magnetic device is actuated, the pilot-control plunger moves into a position in which the fluid pressure falls in the pilot-control chamber until the main plunger moves into an open position controlling the main volume flow.
Abstract:
A valve, in particular for use as a pressure compensator or maintenance-type component (38) in hydraulically actuated hoisting devices (2), has a valve housing (54) with a control port (40), a fluid inlet (64) and a fluid outlet (66). A regulating piston (68) is longitudinally displaceably in the valve housing (54) and acts against an energy storage device (70) in the form of a compression spring, bringing the regulating piston (68) into positions forming a fluid-conveying connection between the fluid inlet (40) and the fluid outlet (66) or blocking this connection by a control pressure existing at the control port (40). A first orifice (88) in the regulating piston (68) connects the control port (40) to a receiving space (62) for the energy storage device (70) in a fluid-conveying manner. A second orifice (90) is in an intermediate part (72) in the valve housing (54). The receiving space (62) can be connected to a compensating chamber (92), which connected to the fluid outlet (66) in a fluid-conveying manner (98).
