An example shuttle valve includes: (i) a valve body comprising a longitudinal cylindrical bore, a first inlet port, a second inlet port, an outlet port, and a key that protrudes radially inward within the longitudinal cylindrical bore; and (ii) a shuttle mounted in the longitudinal cylindrical bore and configured to move axially therein, wherein the shuttle comprises a plurality of radial protrusions that protrude radially outward from, and are circumferentially spaced apart about, a peripheral surface of the shuttle, and wherein the key of the valve body is interposed between two radial protrusions of the plurality of radial protrusions.

A housing component includes a line segment of a hydraulic line. The line segment has at least one channel that opens into a widening. The widening extends to outside of the housing component. A spatially limited sealing surface enclosing the channel is provided in the widening. A seal comprising an adhesive is joined to the sealing surface at least adhesively. A method for manufacturing such a housing component includes layered manufacture of the sealing surfaces.

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).

The invention relates to a drainage connector (1) having a cup-shaped housing (2) which comprises a housing base (3) and a housing wall (4). A connection geometry (5) is arranged on the outside on the housing wall (4) for inserting into a container opening, wherein an inlet pipe (9) of an inlet side (7) is guided to an outlet side (8) through the housing base (3) and an annular collecting chamber (10) is formed between the inlet pipe (9) and the housing wall (4). In order to discharge denser fluid which can accumulate in the collecting chamber, the housing (2) has a discharge channel (11), which leads from the collecting chamber (10) to the outlet side (8) and can be closed from the outlet side (8). The drainage connector is intended to be producible in a cost-effective manner at low cost and to have a low mass. For this purpose, the inlet pipe (9) on the outlet side (8) merges into an outlet pipe (13) which has a closing element (16) that can be moved between an open position and a closed position, wherein the housing (2) comprising the connection geometry (5), the inlet pipe (9) and the outlet pipe (13) is formed from plastic as a single piece.

A valve sleeve 210 includes an input port P10, an output port P21 connected to a channel for output T2, a discharge port P30 and a lead-in port P22 which is disposed to be connected to the channel for output T2. A spool 220 is provided with a second land section 224 that blocks a portion between the spool 220 and the valve sleeve 210 at a position between the output port P21 and the lead-in port P22 when the spool 220 is located in a position for connecting the channel for input T1 and the channel for output T2 and blocking a channel leading from the channel for output T2 to the channel for discharge T3, and when the spool 220 is located in a position for connecting the channel for output T2 and the channel for discharge T3 and blocking a channel leading from the channel for input T1 to the channel for output T2.

A valve device includes a body having a fluid passage formed therein, a valve element configured to open and close the fluid passage, a stem arranged to be configured to move toward and away from the valve element to cause the valve element to open and close the fluid passage, an actuator having a casing coupled to the body, and drive unit arranged in the casing to drive the stem by an operating fluid supplied from outside, and a valve mechanism provided at the casing and configured to open and close a passage of the operating fluid to the drive unit.

A hydrostatic axial piston machine includes a double-acting actuating cylinder configured to adjust the piston displacement. The actuating cylinder has two actuating chambers that are connected to two spatially separated cartridge valves. The two cartridge valves are inserted obliquely into a wall section of the axial piston machine. The wall section on the one hand forms a wall of the housing of the axial piston machine and on the other hand forms a wall of the actuating cylinder.

An axial cast hole is formed to have a large diameter side end on one side at a draft angle. A large diameter hole is formed on the one side to form a stepped surface between the large diameter hole and the axial cast hole. The stepped surface has an inner periphery end located on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction. A tool is moved from the one side toward the other side coaxially with the axial cast hole to make contact with the stepped surface. The tool is moved subsequently to cut the inner periphery of the axial cast hole between the large diameter hole and the first port. The tool is moved subsequently to cut the inner periphery of the axial cast hole on the other side relative to the first port.

Apparatus to attach a fluid valve bonnet are disclosed. The apparatus includes a bonnet having a neck portion and a nut engaged with the neck portion of the bonnet to couple the bonnet to a body of a fluid valve. A central axis of the nut is coaxial to a longitudinal axis of the bonnet.

Valve assemblies and associated methods are disclosed that may include a spool valve and one or more stationary inserts. In some examples, the stationary inserts may be configured to be fixed within a valve bore of a valve body to provide a fluid seal between an outer surface of the insert and the valve bore. Embodiments may also include valve assembly repair kits that may include a spool valve and a stationary insert for repairing a malfunctioning spool valve and methods for installing the same.
