Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hydraulic system for actuating a transmission shifting element that comprises control and shifting valves. A first surface of a valve slide of the control valve is a differential surface between two functional surfaces of the slide that axially bound an area of the slide having a smaller diameter, by which the actuation pressure is adjusted. When the shifting valve is in a second switch position, a total force component acts upon the slide of the control valve which moves the slide such that the actuation pressure is equal to a system pressure. The total force component corresponds at least to the sum of a first force component equivalent to a pressure signal applied to a second surface of the slide of the control valve and a second force component equivalent to an actuation pressure applied to the first surface of the slide of the control valve.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A hydraulic system ( 1 ) for actuating at least one shifting element ( 2 ) of a transmission device, with a pilot-controlled control valve device ( 3 ) and in functional connection therewith an also pilot-controlled shifting valve device ( 4 ), an actuation pressure (p 2 ) of the shifting element ( 2 ), when the shifting valve device ( 4 ) is in a first switch position, being regulated by the control valve device ( 3 ) within a defined pilot pressure r…
