Distributor comprising a body provided at least with one pressurized fluid inlet port (P), one return port for the fluid to a tank (T), two connecting ports (A, B) to a hydraulic apparatus or component, and a slide valve adapted to slide in a bore of the distributor body, and comprising locking means (B) for the slide valve and unlocking means actuated mechanically. The slide valve is formed of at least two parts assembled rigidly to one another and a pressure selector (S) is arranged inside the slide valve, this pressure selector comprising two inlets and an outlet, and being adapted to compare the two pressures on its inlets and to provide, at its outlet, the highest pressure, connecting means being provided in the distributor body and in the slide valve to connect the two inlets of the selector respectively to the two connecting ports (B, A) of the distributor, and to connect the outlet from the selector to a channel opening outside the distributor body. The distributor comprises means sensitive to the outlet pressure of the selector (S) adapted to control the actuation of the unlocking means when the outlet pressure of the selector (S) passes through a predetermined limit.

Hydraulic distributors

A distributor comprising a pressure reducer mounted in a body and a control member, capable of modifying the calibration of the reducer, which comprises a plunger movable in a cavity, which comprises, on one side, a housing where the reducer calibrating means are placed, and, on the other side, a bore in which an active part of the plunger can be moved. The body 3 of the distributor is formed from two parts 3a, 3b independent of each other and connected by assembly means A; these two parts are separated by a surface S passing through housing 13 connected to the low-pressure, but located in the vicinity of one end of bore 18 connected to the pressurized zone. Application to hydraulic distributors, particularly for public works equipment.
