A hydraulic power unit (“HPU”) with a submerged motor for moving hydraulic fluid between a first chamber and a second chamber of a hydraulic device is provided. The HPU may comprise a tank for storing hydraulic fluid, wherein the tank houses: a motor submerged in the hydraulic fluid, the motor having a powered on and a powered off configuration based on at least one command signal; and a pump submerged in the hydraulic fluid and connected to the motor, wherein the motor drives the pump to route the hydraulic fluid in and out of the tank.

A hydraulic control system includes a first hydraulic cylinder, a second hydraulic cylinder, a fluid supply apparatus, a first control valve bank, a second control valve bank, a third control valve bank, and a first check valve. The first control valve bank is configured to independently control the first hydraulic cylinder; the second control valve bank is configured to independently control the second hydraulic cylinder; and the third control valve bank is configured to synchronously control the first hydraulic cylinder and the second hydraulic cylinder. Synchronous volume control is implemented through series connection of the hydraulic cylinders, and has quite high synchronization precision, which is measured to be up to two percent.

A hydraulic control circuit operable to selectively hydraulically link first and second hydraulic actuators and to bypass that hydraulic link.

A control device for controlling a hydraulic consumer (2), such as a working cylinder, has at least one control valve (18) having a control spool (20). Control spool (20) is guided in a valve housing (22) in a longitudinally movable manner and is actuated by an electric motor (24). Electric motor (24) can be controlled by control electronics (MC), which receive input signals from a sensor device (58, 60, 62) detecting at least one operating state of the consumer (2).

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.

An electrohydraulic system includes an output shaft, a hydraulic piston, and a preload device. The output shaft rotationally drives the valve and extends along a first axis. The hydraulic piston extends along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, is actuated by a pressure medium, and rotates the output shaft. The preload device stores energy via preloading of an elastic element, which extends along a third axis, by a hydraulic cylinder and to transmit the energy to the output shaft in the event of a fault. The hydraulic piston is guided into first and second cylinder housings, and at least one of the cylinder housings is connected to the hydraulic cylinder. A check valve is arranged between the cylinder housing and the hydraulic cylinder, and is configured to decouple the preload device from the hydraulic piston, the blocking direction going from the hydraulic cylinder to the cylinder housing.

An auxiliary hydraulic manifold for connecting different implements to a work vehicle for hydraulic control may include a housing, a plurality of vehicle-side ports in the housing including a first vehicle-side port, and a plurality of implement-side ports in the housing including a first implement-side port fluidly coupled to the first vehicle-side port and a second implement-side port fluidly coupled to the first vehicle-side port. A number of the plurality of implement-side ports is greater than a number of the plurality of vehicle-side ports. Additionally, the auxiliary hydraulic manifold may include a pilot-operated check valve fluidly coupled between the first vehicle-side port and the first implement-side port.

An electro-hydraulic actuator system includes a fixed-displacement hydraulic pump and a variable speed electric motor configured in combination to constitute an individual electro-hydraulic unit that is coupled to an actuator, and a bypass valve in parallel to the actuator. The system is configured to enable the actuator to be operated at actuation speeds that are higher than a maximum actuation capability of the pump at the maximum flow capability thereof, and at actuation speeds that are lower than a minimum actuation capability of the pump at the minimum flow capability thereof. The actuation velocity of the actuator may be controlled by controlling the speed of the electro-hydraulic unit and a size of an opening of the bypass valve.

A hydraulic power unit (“HPU”) with a submerged motor for moving hydraulic fluid is provided. The HPU may include a tank for storing hydraulic fluid, where the tank houses: a motor submerged in the hydraulic fluid, the motor having a powered on configuration and a powered off configuration; and a pump submerged in the hydraulic fluid and connected to the motor, where the motor drives the pump to route the hydraulic fluid in and out of the tank.

An output member (7) is inserted in a housing (5) so as to be movable in a left-right direction. A lock chamber (20) is provided to the right of the output member (7), as a first actuation chamber. Compressed air is supplied to and discharged from the lock chamber (20) through a first supply and discharge passage (24) provided in the housing (5). A first holding valve (30) provided to an intermediate portion of the first supply and discharge passage (24) is configured to close and open the first supply and discharge passage (24).
