The manifold assembly inner body is rotatably disposed within the manifold assembly outer body assembly body. Each manifold assembly inner body passage inlet is discontinuously in fluid communication with the manifold assembly outer body assembly body passage outlets. Each manifold assembly inner body passage outlet is discontinuously in fluid communication with the process shaft assembly body passages inlets.

An electromagnetic valve manifold includes spacers and pressure reducing valves. Each spacer includes an attachment surface to which a body of the pressure reducing valve is attached. The body includes a first surface, a second surface, and a connecting surface, which connects the first and second surfaces to each other. A pressure gauge is provided on the connecting surface. The width of the body is smaller than the size of the pressure gauge in the width direction of the body. The bodies include one or more first bodies and one or more second bodies. The first surface of each first body is attached to the attachment surface. The second surface of each second body is attached to the attachment surface of one of the spacers different from the spacer to which the first body is attached. The first bodies and the second bodies are arranged alternately in the arrangement direction.

A vehicle pressure medium device in which a pressure medium flows, has a multilayer design which has at least two mutually contacting layers. A groove-shaped recess is arranged between a first chamber into which a first flow opening opens and a second chamber into which a second flow opening opens when viewed on a plane parallel to the layers. The groove-shaped recess has at least one opening for a fluidic connection between the first chamber and the second chamber on a plane parallel to the layers. A group of molded seals is provided for mounting between the two layers. A fluidic connection is either produced between the first chamber and the second chamber or not depending on the molded seals which are mounted between the two layers and each of which is selected from the group of molded seals.

In a cylinder drive device, a throttle valve and a second check valve are provided between a switch valve and a first cylinder chamber of a fluid pressure cylinder. The cylinder drive device has a flow channel unit which is interposed between a manifold and the switch valve, which allows communication between the throttle valve and the second check valve and switch valve, and which communicates with a plurality of holes in the manifold to allow a fluid to flow to the switch valve.

A manifold includes multiple first valve mount portions, on each of which three electromagnetic valves are arranged side by side, or a plurality of second valve mount portions, on each of which two electromagnetic valves are arranged side by side, or includes at least one of the first valve mount portions and at least one of the second valve mount portions. Waterproof covers are attached to the valve mount portions of the manifold to each cover the three or two electromagnetic valves mounted on the valve mount portion. Thus, a waterproof manifold electromagnetic valve is formed.

A pneumatic control valve manifold assembly including a modular manifold segment with first and second valve receiving bores, inlet and exhaust cavities, and fluid passageways. The modular manifold segment has a mating face and a back-side face. The fluid passageways are arranged in fluid communication with the first and second valve receiving bores, are open to the modular manifold segment mating face, and have multiple configurations. The modular manifold segment mating face includes an abutment surface surrounding the fluid passageways that has a plurality of shapes depending upon the configuration of the fluid passageways. The modular manifold segment back-side face includes a plurality of sealing ribs arranged in a pattern that universally mates with each of the different shapes of the abutment surface such that multiple modular manifold segments with different fluid passageways can be stacked next to each other.

A hydraulic machine is described having a first part (2) and a second part (3) moveable relative to said first part (3), one of said first part (2) and said second part (3) having a first land (9) resting against the other one of said second part (3) and said first part (2), having a predetermined first height (H1), and being arranged between a high pressure area (7) and a low pressure area (8). Such a machine should have a long working life. To this end a second land (10) having a predetermined second height (H2) smaller than said first height (H1) is located adjacent to said first land (9).
