Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH02283903A] PURPOSE: To simplify the structure and reduce the risk of failure by introducing such a configuration that a valve rod in a first control chamber is given a section area greater than that of a piston confronting and that the force of motion toward the piston is greater than the force acting from a third control chamber to the piston. CONSTITUTION: Pilot valves 34 and 38 are formed as decompression valve of stepless operation type, and control chambers 17 and 19 receive alternately different control pressures according to the selection. A pressure is applied to a working space 5 for reducing the load, and also to a working space 6 for raising the load, when the control pressure is smaller than the max. control pressure by a pump 35 while the effective area of a piston 12 is greater than that of a confronting piston 30. When the load of the space 5 lowers, the valve 34 is actuated, and the operating pressure of a lever 40 which the control chamber 17 receives remains only a partial pressure of the max. control pressure. Because the force applied to a control chamber 46 and a compression spring 48 for the piston 30 is greater than the pressure applied from the piston 12 to the one 30, it serves as a receptacle table for a spring holder 24.
