Apparatus and method for setting a valve lift

A pressure controller has a magnetic coil and a magnetic armature arranged in a housing, a control piston movable in a distributor housing and actuatable by the armature, and a shaft supporting the armature and having two ends facing towards and away from the control piston, where the end facing away from the control piston is slidingly supported in a bearing bush, and the end facing towards the control piston is held by a membrane spring fixed at its periphery to the first-mentioned housing.

Pressure controller

The hydraulic regulating device for an automatic transmission system in motor vehicles having a plurality of hydraulic couplings, includes a single pressure build-up regulating valve and a single pressure decrease regulating valve and assigned to each coupling a solenoid operated directional control valve having its working port connected to the couplings, its pressure port connected via a switch-on reversing valve to the pressure build-up regulating valve, and its return port connected via a switch-off reversing valve to a return conduit; both reversing valves are controlled according to predetermined pressure levels on the coupling so that in the working position of the switch-on reversing valve the coupling is connected to a stable high pressure and when the coupling process is initiated by reversing the position of the directional control valve, the switch-off reversing valve connects the coupling element to the pressure decrease regulating valve.

Hydraulic regulating device for load shifted gears

The invention pertains to a hydraulic control system for servos in automatic transmissions, which, in a known fashion, utilizes a main pressure valve to regulate the pressure within the control system and further utilizes a converter pressure valve to supply a hydrodynamic torque converter and the lubrication system. The servos (for example, the clutches) utilized in this type of automatic transmissions cooperate with electromagnetically actuated pressure regulating valves have a current-proportional response. These electromagnetic valves are actuated by electronic control signals generated by sensors which monitor various parameters during operation, making previously utilized sensors superfluous. By control of the pressure regulating valves the forward gear, the reverse gear or the neutral gear can be engaged in the simplest fashion. By means of a magnet valve associated with the main pressure valve the levels of pressure may be varied. It is also possible, via simple associated elements, to install an emergency system which during a failure of the electrical system allows the transmission to continue to operate.
