Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2530334A1] The valve assembly has valve units (2,3) comprising a main valve (15) and two electrically operated pilot valves (16,17). The main valve has main valve unit (26) that is switchable between several switching positions by the actuation of the pilot valves. The two pilot valves allow simultaneous and rectified fluid pressurization of the main valve unit, so that high switching speeds are obtained.
