Abstract
This invention relates to a valve device for at least one hydraulic motor adapted to drive a high inertia mass. The device comprises two principal conduits, respectively intended to be connected to the two principal ducts (supply or exhaust) of the motor. It comprises a communication conduit for placing said principal conduits in situation of communication when the fluid pressures in these conduits are substantially equal and for placing said principal conduits in a situation of isolation in which they are isolated from one another when the fluid pressures in these two conduits are different. The device further comprises delaying means adapted to limit the speed of passage between the situation of communication and the situation of isolation. The communication conduit may include a calibrated restriction. Similarly, the delaying means may include calibrated restrictions.
