Abstract:
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). An adjusting arrangement (51) connects a selected pressure chamber (19, 21, 23, 25) or a plurality of selected pressure chambers (19, 21, 23, 25) of the piston accumulator (1) to the working cylinder (58) as a function of the pressure level that prevails respectively on the gas side of the piston accumulator (1) and on the working cylinder (58).
Abstract:
A valve (18), for a valve assembly (10) for regulating the pressure of a fluid guided in a hydraulic system for supplying pressure to at least one hydraulic consumer (12a, 12b), includes a pilot control stage (48) and a main control stage (38) for at least partially clearing or blocking a fluid path from a supply connection (P) to an outflow connection (T). A relief stage (54) for pressure relief of a fluid chamber is arranged between the pilot control stage (48) and the main control stage (38). The relief stage (54) compares the existing load pressure at load terminal (LS) dedicated to the hydraulic consumer (12a, 12b) with the outflow pressure at the outflow connection (T), clearing the pressure relief if both pressures are approximately the same. The relief stage (54) can be directly connected to the load connection (LS) and can be charged with load pressure.

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).
Abstract:
A proportional pressure regulating valve has a valve piston (12) longitudinally movable in a valve housing (10) and connecting a utility connection (A) to a pressure supply connection (P) or to a tank or return flow connection (T) dependent on the displacement position of the valve piston. The valve piston is actuated by an actuation magnet (48) that can be supplied with current. A control device (50) is between the valve piston (12) and the actuation magnet (48), and allows the valve piston (12) to become pressureless on the valve piston side (52) facing the actuation magnet (48). The valve piston (12) is displaced in the direction of the actuation magnet (48) under the supply and/or utility connection pressure when the actuation magnet is not actuated.
Abstract:
A valve has a valve piston (12) guided longitudinally movably in a valve housing (10) and actuated by an operation device (14). In one valve piston position, a connection is produced between a pressure supply port (P) and a working port (A). In another valve piston position, a further fluid-conducting connection is produced between the working port (A) and a tank port (T). The pressure difference arising between the working port (A) and the tank port (T) as flow passes through the further fluid-conducting connection acts, by an actuation device (30), on the valve piston (12). The valve piston passes from a stop position (32), with the further fluid-conducting connection shut off, into a fully open opening position with an enlarged opening cross section from working port (A) to tank port (T).
Abstract:
A control device selectively fluidically connects and disconnects fluid connection points (A, P, T) by a valve (5), which controls fluid-conducting connection channels (55, 57, 59) extending between the connection points (A, P, T). The connection channels are arranged in a control block (3), into which the valve (5) is at least partially inserted. Proceeding from the respective fluid connection points (A, P, T), the connection channels (55, 59, 57) connected to the fluid connection points extend in parallel to each other until the connection channels lead into a respective control chamber (49; 53, 51). The valve (5) is retained in a receptacle (39) separating two adjacently arranged control chambers (49, 51) from each other.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a valve, in particular a proportional pressure regulating valve, comprising a valve housing (10) and a valve piston (12) which is arranged in the valve housing in a longitudinal a movable manner and which can be actuated by means of an actuation magnet (14) so as to produce either a fluidic connection between a pressure supply connection (P) and a load connection (A) or between the load connection (A) and a return connection (T) in the valve housing (10), wherein the valve piston (12) is permanently fluidically connected to the return connection (T) at the opposing end faces (44, 46) of the valve piston. The invention is characterized in that the valve piston (12) has a pressure-active measuring surface (50) in the region of the load connection (A), said pressure-active measuring surface providing the respective fluid pressure at the load connection (A) as a counterforce to the actuation force of the actuation magnet (14) when the actuation magnet (14) is energized in order to produce a fluidic connection between the pressure supply connection (P) and the load connection (A).
