A proportional pressure regulating valve has a spring-loaded valve piston (10) guided in and actuated by an actuating magnet (14) within a valve housing (12). Opposite valve piston sides are exposed to tank pressure. The valve piston (10) has a regulation surface (44) connectable to working port (A) for a regulation pressure (PR). A ring-shaped chamber (42) in the valve housing (10) opens into the working port (A). At the transition between the ring-shaped chamber (42) and the working port (A), the regulation surface (44) is active. When the actuating magnet (14) is deenergized, a maximum regulation pressure (PR) is generated.

A composite valve includes a valve body, a first valve module, and a second valve module. The valve body includes a first body portion to which the first valve module is attached, a second body portion to which the second valve module is attached, a third body portion that has an input port, and a fourth body portion that has an output port and an attachment portion. The first body portion and the second body portion respectively extend along a first axis and a second axis that are parallel to each other. The third body portion extends along a third axis that is at 90 degrees with respect to the first axis and with respect to the second axis. The fourth body portion extends along a fourth axis L4 that is at 90 degrees with respect to all the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis.

A telescopic hydraulic cylinder is disclosed which has automatic air bleeding and fluid flushing features. A method of removing air from a hydraulic cylinder is also disclosed. A hydraulic circuit with for removing air from a hydraulic cylinder is further disclosed.

An example valve includes: a first port; a second port; a third port; a poppet configured to be subjected to (i) a first fluid force by fluid of the first port acting on the poppet in a proximal direction toward a poppet seat, and (ii) a second fluid force by fluid of the second port acting on the poppet in a distal direction; a pilot piston configured to be subjected to a pilot fluid force by a pilot fluid signal received at the third port; a check spring applying a spring force on the poppet in the proximal direction; and pilot spring applying a pilot spring force on the pilot piston in the proximal direction.

A spool valve includes a sleeve and a spool arranged on an inside of a sleeve to be movable in a longitudinal direction, the sleeve being provided with an inflow port into which fluid is supplied from an external fluid supply hole, and an outflow port through which the fluid is flown to an outside of the sleeve, wherein a supply groove is formed on an outer periphery of the sleeve, and the supply groove includes an inlet space into which the fluid flows from the fluid supply hole and an outlet space formed on a side of the inflow port with respect to the inlet space in an axial direction.

A valve device (200) includes a tank pressure port (218), a first pressure port (212), a second pressure port (214), and a pressure shut-off valve (224). The valve is switched between the individual ports (212, 214, 218), and has two valve components (226, 228). Upon reaching a predefinable pressure cut-off value, the first pressure port (212) can be connected to the tank pressure port (218) by the first valve component (226). In the event of the fluid pressure being higher at the second pressure port (214) than at the first pressure port (212), the second pressure port (214) can be separated from the first pressure port (212) by the second valve component (228). Both valve components (226, 228) are combined to form a tradable structural unit and are integrated in a common valve housing (230), preferably making direct contact. A hydraulic system has this valve device.
