Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0036761A2] The spool-type load check valve (20) of this invention, used in conjunction with additional check valves (60, 61) overcomes the problem of leakage in conventional spool type check valves by providing a series of interconnecting passages and chambers (36) for communicating equalized fluid pressure from a cylinder (11) to either end of the spool (27) thereof to provide for minimal leakage. When a pair of such cylinders (11, 12) are utilized, the load check valves (20, 20 min ) associated therewith are interconnected by a balance line (50) and resolver valves (47 min ) ensure equalization of fluid pressure in the cylinders upon actuation thereof and also a gradual descent of a load carried by the cylinders upon loss of fluid pressure between the check valves.
