Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hydraulic system ( 1 ) for actuating at least one shifting element ( 2 ) of a transmission. The hydraulic system comprises a regulating valve device ( 3 ) that can be preset and has a regulating valve slide ( 8 ), and a shifting valve device ( 4 ) which can also be preset and has a shifting valve slide ( 6 ). The shifting valve device ( 4 ) interacts with the regulating valve device ( 3 ). The regulating valve slide ( 8 ) and the shifting valve slide ( 6 ) are coaxially aligned with one another and move in opposite longitudinal directions within a common boring ( 24 ) of a housing ( 25 ). Each of the slides has a control surface ( 5, 14 ) which faces toward one another and can be pressurized with a pressure signal (p_VS) via a common pressure chamber ( 26 ).
