[Object] To provide a compact, rationally designed, dual 4-port electromagnetic valve that is an electromagnetic valve having functions of two 4-port valves. [Solution] A dual 4-port electromagnetic valve includes two spools (8a, 8b) slidable independently of each other in a valve hole (7); two pilot valves (4a, 4b) that drive the two spools, respectively; a main supply port (P) that communicates with the valve hole (7) at a position where the two spools face each other; first and second output ports (A1, A2) that communicate with the valve hole (7) on two respective sides of the main supply port (P), first and second discharge ports (E1, E2) that communicate with the valve hole (7) on two respective outer sides of the output ports (A1, A2), third and fourth output ports (B1, B2) that communicate with the valve hole (7) on two respective outer sides of the discharge ports (E1, E2), and first and second supply ports (P1, P2) that communicate with the valve hole (7) on two respective outer sides of the output ports (B1, B2). The main supply port (P) and each of the first and second supply ports (P1, P2) communicate with each other.

A sealing diaphragm for a fluid valve is provided. The fluid valve includes a valve housing and a drive unit, the sealing diaphragm being of hat-like design and being configured for enclosing, on the free-end side, a portion of a valve-closing body which projects into the valve housing of the fluid valve. The sealing diaphragm can include a base portion which is configured to be rotationally asymmetrical on the outer circumferential side, the base portion being provided to abut in a form-fitted manner against an opening of the valve housing, and the base portion of the sealing diaphragm being configured to be received between the valve housing and the drive unit in such a way that the opening of the valve housing is sealed in a fluid-tight manner towards the drive unit.

A proportional pressure regulating valve has a valve piston (12) longitudinally movable in a valve housing (10) and connecting a utility connection (A) to a pressure supply connection (P) or to a tank or return flow connection (T) dependent on the displacement position of the valve piston. The valve piston is actuated by an actuation magnet (48) that can be supplied with current. A control device (50) is between the valve piston (12) and the actuation magnet (48), and allows the valve piston (12) to become pressureless on the valve piston side (52) facing the actuation magnet (48). The valve piston (12) is displaced in the direction of the actuation magnet (48) under the supply and/or utility connection pressure when the actuation magnet is not actuated.

A spool valve includes a valve housing and a spool. The spool is slidable in an axial direction in the valve housing. A linear solenoid drives the spool against a spring. The valve housing has a feedback chamber to apply a force to the spool, an input port to receive a hydraulic pressure, an output port to produce an output pressure according to an axial position of the spool, and an drain port to exhaust oil to an outside. The spool valve has multiple supply paths to cause oil to flow from the input port to the output port and/or multiple exhaust paths to cause oil to flow from the output port to the drain port.

A spool valve arrangement comprising a spool arranged for linear movement within a bore to regulate flow of fluid through the bore according to the linear position of the spool relative to the bore, the spool having an end arranged to be engaged, in use, by a drive member to cause the linear movement, the spool valve arrangement further comprising a sliding block component moveably attached to the spool end and arranged to engage with the drive member, in use, such that the drive member engages with the spool end via the sliding block component and the sliding block component moves relative to the spool to compensate for non-linear movement of the drive member.

The invention relates to a pneumatic solenoid valve comprising an air chamber (1), on which multiple air connections (2, 3, 5) are provided which can be connected via multiple switching positions of the solenoid valve by interconnecting the air chamber (1). The solenoid valve comprises a magnetic coil (6), a yoke (8) which is arranged on the magnetic coil (6) and made of soft magnetic material, and an armature (9) which can move relative to the yoke (8) and is made of soft magnetic material. The magnetic coil (6), the yoke (8) and the armature (9) are arranged within the air chamber (1). The armature (9) is arranged with respect to the yoke (8) such that, when the magnetic coil (6) is fed with current, said armature rotates about a single axis of rotation (A), by means of the magnetic force generated as a result, against a restoring force until the magnetic force corresponds to the restoring force. When the armature (9) rotates, the size of at least one overlapping region between the yoke (8) and the armature (9) changes, wherein an air gap (L, L) is formed between the yoke (8) and the armature (9) in the at least one overlapping region. The distance formed by the air gap (L, L) between the yoke (8) and the armature (9) remains substantially constant in the direction of rotation of the armature (9).

A pneumatic valve apparatus for a compressed air device, including: a pneumatic solenoid valve having a housing body with a supply channel, a consumer channel and a vent channel, wherein the housing body surrounds a valve chamber, in which a valve body can be moved along a valve axis counter to the force of a valve spring by an actuator relative to a vent valve seat leading to the vent channel and relative to a supply valve seat leading to the supply channel, wherein in a first position, the valve body opens the valve chamber and the vent valve seat leading to a vent channel, and, in a second position, opens a supply channel leading to the supply valve seat and the valve chamber, wherein the housing body comprises a diffuser, which adjoins the vent valve seat leading to the vent channel.

The invention relates to a valve, having a control slide (4) guided in a valve housing (6) so as to be longitudinally movable, which control slide selectively connects a plurality of fluid connection points (P, T, A, B) in the valve housing (6) to each other in a fluid-conducting manner or disconnects said fluid connection points from each other and can be electrically controlled by means of a stepper motor (2). Said valve is characterized in that the control slide (4) can be actuated by means of an emergency device (34, 52) in the event of a malfunction or failure.

A fluid management system includes a housing with a first port, a second port, and a third port, and a valve body moveable within the housing between a first position and a second position. The valve body is configured to seal the third port and permit fluid flow between the first and second ports in the first position, and to seal the first port and permit fluid flow between the second and third ports in the second position. The system further includes an actuator coupled to the valve body. The actuator includes a shape memory alloy material. A biasing element is coupled to the valve body to bias the valve body toward one of the first or second positions. The actuator is configured to move the valve body to one of the first or second positions against a biasing force of the biasing element in response to heating the actuator.

A capacity control valve includes: a pressure-sensitive body positioned in a third valve chamber; an adapter provided on the free end of the pressure sensitive body having a circular seating surface; a third valve part that moves integrally with a valve element in the third valve chamber and has a circular engagement surface that opens/closes intake-side passages by engaging with and separating from the seating surface of the adapter. The valve element is located between the first valve chamber and the second valve chamber, and has an outer circumferential face part slidably movable relative to an inner circumferential face of the valve body, with plural threads of screw grooves are formed on the outer circumferential face part.
