Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A pilot-controlled pressure control valve is disclosed. The pilot-controlled pressure control valve has a pilot control stage, a spool valve, and an overload spring. The pilot control stage includes a pilot control piston which has a pilot control spring. The pilot control spring acts in a closing direction of the pilot control stage. The pilot control spring is supported on the spool valve which can be positioned by a control pressure against the force of the overload spring. The control pressure is configured to set a preload of the pilot control spring. At the same time, in a loaded position, in which the pilot control valve has minimum preload, the spool valve rests against a stop. A preload of the overload spring and a position of the stop can be set independently of one another.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A pilot-controlled pressure limiting valve comprising: a main stage; and a pilot-control stage including a pilot control piston that is loaded by a pilot control spring in a closing direction of the pilot control stage, wherein the pilot control spring is supported on a control slide which is configured to be positioned by a control pressure counter to a force of an overdrive spring in order to adjust a preload of the pilot control spring, wherei…
