A power unit with manual override control for a hydraulic system having an initial state and at least one operational state is provided, comprising: a tank for storing hydraulic fluid that moves between a first chamber and a second chamber of a hydraulic cylinder; a pump that routes the hydraulic fluid in and out of the tank; a first relief valve; a first solenoid valve configured to shift between a plurality of positions based on the at least one operational state of the hydraulic system; a first check valve connected to the first solenoid valve; a manual override control unit comprising: a second check valve; and a second solenoid valve configured to shift between a plurality of positions based on activation of a manual override control, wherein the activation of the manual override control returns the hydraulic system from the at least one operational state to the initial state.

A valve arrangement for hydraulic control of a piston-cylinder of a power switch contains a main stage having a first main valve and a second main valve, and a pilot stage having at least one pilot valve. In order to permit the first main valve to remain securely in the opened state, even in the event of pressure oscillations, the main valve has a total of four control surfaces, of which a second and a third control surface operate in a closing manner and a fourth control surface operates in an opening manner. For this purpose, the second control surface is connected to the high-pressure line, the third control surface is connected to the low-pressure line, and the fourth control surface is connected to the output-side valve connection of the first main valve.

A linear actuator system includes a linear actuator and at least one integrated pump assembly connected to the linear actuator to provide fluid to operate the linear actuator. The integrated pump assembly includes a pump with at least one fluid driver comprising a prime mover and a fluid displacement assembly to be driven by the prime mover such that fluid is transferred from a first port of the pump to a second port of the pump. The pump assembly also includes two valve assembles to isolate the pump from the system. The linear actuator system also includes a controller that establishes at least one of a speed and a torque of the at least one prime mover to exclusively adjust at least one of a flow and a pressure in the linear actuator system to an operational set point.

A hydraulic unit is provided with: a manifold which forms a hydraulic circuit; a tank which is joined to the manifold; and a hydraulic pump which suctions hydraulic fluid in the tank and supplies the hydraulic fluid to the manifold, wherein the base end portion of a suction strainer is fitted into the hydraulic pump, and the suction strainer has such a shape that the base end portion of the suction strainer is not separated from the hydraulic pump in a state where the leading end portion of the suction strainer is in contact with the tank and an opening through which the hydraulic fluid is introduced from the tank is provided at the leading end portion.

A method for the supply of compressed air of a compressed-air consumer having two fluidically separate, kinematically coupled working areas, wherein each of the working areas is assigned to a valve arrangement which can be independently controlled and can be configured between a blocking position, a first functional position for a fluidically communicating connection to a fluid course and a second functional position for a fluidically communicating connection to a fluid sink and wherein each of the two valve arrangements is configured individually depending on a predefinable movement task for the compressed-air consumer and depending, on at least two pressure values from the following group: supply pressure, first working area pressure, second working area pressure, discharge pressure, for a provision of a predefinable developing for a fluid mass flow or for a provision of a predefinable developing for a fluid pressure in the respective working area or for a provision of a predefinable developing of a valve cross-section.

An apparatus for controlling a hydraulic machine, for example a turbine, pump or pump turbine, using variable-speed driven fixed displacement pumps. The apparatus includes a device for carrying out an emergency shut-off that is characterized by low energy consumption and high efficiency while guaranteeing all the operation-relevant and safety-relevant requirements of a hydraulic machine.

A tank for storing oil includes a suction strainer with first and second filtration portions. The first filtration portion has a substantially cylindrical shape and formed by bending a thin plate into a pleated shape. The second filtration portion is provided on the outer side of the first filtration portion. The second filtration portion has a substantially cylindrical shape and is formed of a material having a plurality of spaces formed in a surface and interior of the material.
