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:
A valve, in particular a proportional pressure regulating valve, has a valve piston (12) longitudinally movable in a valve housing (10) for alternately releasing and connecting a user connection (A) to a pressure supply port (P) or a tank connection (T). The valve piston can be actuated by an actuating magnet (14) that produces a dither signal during operation. The valve piston (12) reaches a floating position within the valve housing (10) by a hydraulic lift limitation for the receipt of the dither signal.
Abstract:
A valve, in particular a pilot-operated proportional pressure control valve, has a valve housing (5) with a pressure supply port (7), a working port (9), and a drain port (11). In the valve housing (5), a main valve piston (15) can be moved by a pilot stage (13) for control of the fluid flow between the pressure supply port (7) and the working port (9). The pilot stage (13) has a valve closing element (43) for a pilot chamber (41). The valve closing element (43) is movable from an open position (OS) into a closed position (SS) by an actuating apparatus (45). The valve closing element (43) can actuate a leakage reduction stage (53).
Abstract:
A proportional pressure-regulating valve (10) for actuating a first fluid connection (f1) from a working connection (A) to a tank connection (T) and a second fluid connection (f2) from a supply connection (P) to the working connection (A), includes a regulating piston (14) guided movably in a valve housing (12). The regulating piston opens the first fluid connection (f1) and closes the second fluid connection (f2) when in a first position, and closes the first fluid connection (f1) and opens the second fluid connection (f2) when a second position. The regulating piston (14) can be displaced from a first position into a third position when the first fluid connection (f1) is open by the total differential pressure produced when fluid flows through. When the regulating piston (14) is in the third position, the first fluid connection (f1) is opened with an enlarged opening cross section compared to the first position, and the second fluid connection (f2) remains closed.
Abstract:
A valve, in particular a pilot-operated proportional directional poppet valve, has a valve housing (7) with a fluid inlet (21) and a fluid outlet (23). The fluid stream between the fluid inlet (21) and the fluid outlet (23) is adjustable by a main piston (27). A pilot valve chamber (37) on a rear face (29) of the main piston (27) has a pilot valve closing member (33) movable by an actuating device (69) to adjust the fluid stream between the pilot valve chamber (37) and the fluid outlet (23). A supply aperture (3) is between the fluid inlet (21) and the pilot valve chamber (37). The opening cross-section of the supply aperture (3) can be reduced by a control element (49).

Abstract:
A hydraulic system includes an actuator operating as a consumer of hydraulic energy and as a generator of hydraulic energy in different operating states, and includes a hydraulic accumulator (1). In an operating state of the actuator (49), the accumulator can be charged by the actuator for storing energy. In a different operating state, the accumulator can be discharged for delivering energy to the actuator (49). The hydraulic accumulator is an adjustable hydropneumatic piston accumulator having a plurality of pressure chambers (19, 21, 23, 25) adjoining effective surfaces (11, 13, 15, 17) of different sizes 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 actuator (49) as a function of the pressure level that prevails on the gas side of the piston accumulator (1) and on the actuator (49).

The valves (14, 16, 18) are interconnected such that the hydraulically actuatable switching valve (18) compares the accumulator pressure (pA) to a minimum accumulator pressure (pA0) that can be adjusted via the control pressure setting of this switching valve (18).
Abstract:
A valve, in particular a 4/2-way slide valve (60), includes a valve piston (67), which is guided in a longitudinally movable manner in a valve housing (25), for selectively connecting and disconnecting fluid connections in the valve housing (25), such as a pressure supply connection (P), a tank connection (T), and two utility connections (A, B). A magnetic system (49), to which current can be supplied, controls the valve piston (67). When no current is supplied to the magnetic system (49), the control pressure at one of the utility connections (A, B) can be set, in particular limited, by a control device (62, 70, 79, 80, 88) arranged in the valve housing.
