HYDRAULIC VALVE DEVICE
The invention relates to a hydraulic valve device (1) having a fluid connection arrangement (3) extending at least partially in a valve housing (2) and containing connections such as a pressure medium supply connection (P), a return connection (R), a load-sensing connection (LS), two control connections (?'A, P'B), two useful connections (A, B), and having a valve element (4) which is movable in the valve housing (2) for controlling the connections of the fluid connection arrangement (3), wherein the valve element (4) can be supplied on two control sides (5, 6) lying opposite one another on the valve element (4) with a control pressure on each of the control connections (?'A, P'B), characterised in that a return pressure balance (7) is disposed in the valve element (4) for the pressure-independent control of the volumetric flow from one of the useful connections (A, B) to the return connection (R).
