The invention relates to a valve, in particular a 4/2-way slide valve (60), comprising 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), and comprising a magnetic system (49), to which current can be supplied, for controlling the valve piston (67), characterized in that, 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 means of a control device (62, 70, 79, 80, 88) arranged in the valve housing.

A single stage servo valve assembly includes a drive assembly and a valve body assembly. The valve body assembly defines: a valve body extending along a valve body axis between a first valve body end and a second valve body axis: a supply port; a control port; and a return port formed through the valve body each defining a respective fluid flow channel, having a fluid flow axis, providing fluid communication between an interior of the valve body and an exterior of the valve body. The drive assembly operates to control the flow of fluid between the supply port, the control port and the return port, via the interior of the valve body, in response to an electric command signal. Each of the supply port, and the return port includes a tapered nozzle at an interface between the interior of the valve body and the respective port fluid flow channel.

Valve with in-built pressure threshold detection, mounted in an engine block pipe, the valve comprising a body comprising an electrically insulating external element (16) and an electrically conducting internal element (18) bearing the obturator seat (14), an obturator (12), the valve also comprising an electrical terminal (34) connected to a detection system which, with the engine block (4) and the internal element (18), forms an electric circuit, the internal element (18) being in permanent contact with the electrical terminal (34), the internal element (18) sliding in the external element (16) such that, for a pressure below the threshold pressure, the internal element (18) is in electrical contact with the engine block, closing the electric circuit, and for a pressure equal to or greater than the threshold pressure, the internal element (18) is not in electrical contact with the engine block, breaking the electric circuit.

A valve, in particular having the form of a 2/2-way seat valve includes a pressure limiting function (28) integrated in a joint valve body to implement a thermal overpressure protection.
