Abstract

A hydraulic directional control valve which has a valve housing and a control piston that is arranged therein in a displaceable manner. The valve housing has at least one outflow connection, at least one inflow connection and a working connection. The control piston has a main body and at least one control section. The control section controls a pressure medium flow from the inflow connection to the working connection and/or a pressure medium flow from the working connection to the outflow connection, and the control section is made separately from the main body and is fastened thereon.

Claims (9)

1. A hydraulic directional valve, comprising:

a valve housing having at least one discharge port, at least one supply port and at least one working port; and

a control piston, which is arranged displaceably within the valve housing, having a base body and at least one control section connected to the base body,

the control section, which is manufactured separately from the base body, controlling a pressure medium flow from the supply port to the working port and/or a pressure medium flow from the working port to the discharge port and the control section, in a displacement direction of the control piston, having a larger coefficient of linear thermal expansion than the base body.

2. The hydraulic directional valve according to claim 1 , wherein the control section has, perpendicular to the displacement direction of the control piston, a same or at least approximately same coefficient of linear thermal expansion as the base body.

3. The hydraulic directional valve according to claim 1 , wherein the base body has a stop and the control section bears against the stop in the displacement direction of the control piston.

4. The hydraulic directional valve according to claim 3 , further comprising a pressure medium conveying structure communicating with the supply port and the control section, with the stop being arranged between the pressure medium conveying structure.

5. The hydraulic directional valve according to claim 1 , wherein the control section comprises a polyamide.

6. The hydraulic directional valve according to claim 5 , wherein the polyamide is PA66.
