A lifting control device includes: a position acquisition portion configured to acquire an extended or contracted position of the hydraulic cylinder; a target setting portion configured to set a target position of the hydraulic cylinder; a control portion configured to control an energized amount of the solenoid valve; and an input judging portion configured to judge whether the operational input is an opening command to perform an opening control in which the solenoid valve is made to be fully open or is a positional control command to perform a positional control in which the solenoid valve is actuated according to an operation input amount to control the extended or contracted position of the hydraulic cylinder, wherein when the operational input is judged as the opening command by the input judging portion, the opening control is performed due to the non-integral type control by the control portion.

The invention relates to an actuator device comprising at least one output element, which can be applied with a fluid and can thereby be moved into at least one retaining position. An actuator is provided which can be operated in a pumping operation by controlling the actuator, in which at least one part of the actuator can be alternatingly moved in a first direction and in a second direction opposite the first direction via the controlling of the actuator, whereby the fluid can be conveyed to the output element in order to apply the output element with the fluid. A discharge channel is also provided, via which the fluid can be discharged from the output element.

A railway vehicle vibration damping device includes an actuator and a control unit controlling a pump and controls a rotation speed of the pump based on a vehicle speed of a railway vehicle.

An intermittent air discharge apparatus has a main valve and a pilot valve, the main valve being switched between a discharge state and a discharge stop state. The pilot valve is switched between an air-supply state to supply air to a pilot chamber for air-discharge, and an air-supply stop state. When the pilot valve is switched to the air-supply state, an exhaust passage communicates with the pilot chamber for air-discharge. When the pilot valve is switched to the air-supply state, a supply or exhaust passage allows an air supply passage to communicate with the pilot chamber for air-discharge and a pilot chamber for stopping air-supply; when the pilot valve is switched to the air-supply stop state, communication with the air supply passage is blocked. A flow rate of air from the pilot chamber for air-discharge is set by the exhaust passage, and a flow rate of air from the pilot chamber for stopping air-supply is set by the supply or exhaust passage.

Agricultural planting implements, as well as other ground-engaging implements, can utilize supplemental force assemblies to provide up and/or down force at the row or rows of the implements. The force can be used to overcome changing field conditions, obstructions, as well as changing particulate amounts and weights carried by the rows of the implements, and the implement itself. The up force can be set at system pressure, or can include control valves at each of the row units to control the amount of up force provided. The down force can be controlled by control valves at each of the row units, and can be used to overcome the up pressure or provide a designated amount of down force to the row.

Provided is a construction machine. The construction machine includes a boom cylinder driving a boom, a rotation motor rotating a rotary body, an arm cylinder driving an arm, a bucket cylinder driving a bucket, a first main pump supplying working fluid to the boom cylinder and discharging the working fluid in opposite directions, a second main pump supplying working fluid to the rotation motor and discharging the working fluid in opposite directions, and a third main pump supplying working fluid to the arm cylinder or the bucket cylinder.

A ram air turbine actuator release device to release a ram air turbine actuator includes a lock bolt releasably engaged to the ram air turbine actuator, a toggle comprising a toggle roller to engage the lock bolt, and a toggle pivot to couple the toggle to the ram air turbine actuator, a hydraulic toggle actuator, including a piston defining a first hydraulic chamber and a second hydraulic chamber, a solenoid valve in fluid communication with the first hydraulic chamber, and a plunger coupled to the piston, wherein a pressure differential between the first hydraulic chamber and the second hydraulic chamber displaces the plunger to rotate the toggle to disengage the toggle roller from the lock bolt.

An electro hydrostatic actuator (EHA) comprises a hydraulic pump and an electric motor driving the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump comprises an inlet and an outlet for hydraulic fluid and an active fluid flow path arranged therebetween such that, in an active mode of operation when the pump is driven by the electric motor, hydraulic fluid is actively drawn in through the inlet and exhausted out through the outlet. The hydraulic pump further comprises a bypass flow path arranged between the pump inlet and outlet, such that, in a damping mode of operation, hydraulic fluid is able to freely flow between the inlet and outlet in either direction.

A linear actuator system includes a linear actuator and at least one proportional control valve and at least one pump connected to the linear actuator to provide fluid to operate the linear actuator. The at least one pump includes at least one fluid driver having a prime mover and a fluid displacement assembly to be driven by the prime mover such that fluid is transferred from the pump inlet to the pump outlet. 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 and concurrently establishes an opening of the at least one proportional control valve to adjust at least one of a flow and a pressure in the linear actuator system to an operational set point.

An automatic residual load relief system for hydraulic compactors having rotary pumps relieves residual load inherent in the compacted material by releasing hydraulic fluid from the cylinder prior to reversal of the rotary pump while preventing the fluid from returning to the pump. The system comprises in general a rotary pump powered by a motor, one-way suction check valves, a flow check valve, a one-way, normally-open, pilot operated check valve, a cylinder comprising a reciprocating piston, the piston defining a disk void and an annular void within the cylinder, and a tank.
