A pressure control valve arrangement for controlling fluid pressure in a brake system of a vehicle includes two diaphragm valves and two electromagnetic control valves, activatable by an electronic control device, for the pilot control of the diaphragm valves. The two electromagnetic control valves have a double magnet with two magnet coils and magnet armatures and are actuatable by current being applied to the magnet coils. The housing has at least one pressure medium connection, connected to a service brake valve, for acting with pressure upon and/or relieving the pressure of the pressure control valve arrangement and at least one connection for connecting to a brake cylinder. A plane of symmetry of the mid-axes of the magnet coils of the double magnet is arranged in parallel and offset by the amount of an eccentricity, with respect to a mid-axis of the pressure medium connection.

A pressure control valve arrangement is described for controlling a fluid pressure in an ABS brake system of a vehicle such that, in the event of a tendency of individual wheels of the vehicle to lock, the brake pressure in at least one associated brake cylinder can be adaptively adjusted, including: a housing in which is formed at least one pressure-medium-conducting pressure medium duct and in which is provided a diversion of the flow of the pressure medium within the pressure medium duct from a portion of the pressure medium duct leading in one direction into a portion of the pressure medium duct leading in another direction, in which the pressure medium duct is produced together with the housing by primary forming, and in which the cross section of the pressure medium duct is oval and the major dimension of the oval cross section and the central axis of the pressure medium duct are arranged in a common plane, and the minor dimension of the oval cross section is perpendicular to the plane.

A pressure control valve arrangement is described for controlling the fluid pressure in an ABS brake system of a vehicle in such a way that, while there is a tendency of individual wheels of the vehicle to lock, the brake pressure in at least one associated brake cylinder can be adaptively adjusted, wherein at least one diaphragm valve is accommodated in a housing of the pressure control valve arrangement, said diaphragm valve having a diaphragm as the valve body, which diaphragm can be acted upon by introducing a pressure medium into a control chamber that is covered on the outside of the housing by a respective cover produced by primary shaping, such as injection molding, in such a way that the control chamber is formed between the diaphragm and the cover, and wherein blind holes, which extend in the cover substantially perpendicularly to the plane of the cover, are formed in the cover, the blind hole opening of at least one of said blind holes leading into the control chamber, and the blind hole opening of at least one other of said blind holes leading into a pressure medium channel formed in the housing, and at least one and the other of said blind holes being fluidically interconnected by at least one transverse channel, characterized in that the transverse channel has an acute angle relative to the plane of the cover and opens at one end, by a transverse channel opening, into the control chamber or into the pressure medium channel, wherein the transverse channel opening at least partially overlaps the blind hole opening of one of the blind holes connected by the transverse channel.

A pressure control valve arrangement for controlling a fluid pressure in an ABS brake system of a vehicle so that, while there is a tendency of individual wheels of the vehicle to lock, the brake pressure in at least one associated brake cylinder can be adaptively adjusted, including: a housing; and at least one diaphragm valve is accommodated in the housing, the diaphragm valve having a diaphragm as the valve body, which diaphragm can be acted upon by introducing pressure medium into a control chamber that is covered on the outside of the housing by a cover so that the control chamber is formed between the diaphragm and the cover, wherein at least one pressure medium channel carrying pressure medium is formed in the housing in the region of the cover, wherein at least one cover has at least one projection projecting into the pressure medium channel in the housing, a pressure medium guiding surface for directing the flow of the pressure medium carried in the pressure medium channel being formed on the projection.
