Abstract

A device for controlling a consumer, in particular a hydromotor includes a restrictor, preferably an electrohydraulic proportional directional control valve, and a control valve operating on the basis of a releasable non-return valve. The control valve is provided with an actuating cylinder-and-piston unit having control ports and a biasing spring for the piston. The control valve also has a connecting port which is connected with a connecting port of the restrictor. In order to substantially simplify the structural design of the device, a flow regulator is installed between the control port of the control valve and the connecting port of the restrictor which is connected with the consumer. The control sides of the flow regulator and the control valve are connected through a throttle with a supply container. The space of the cylinder-and-piston unit adjoining the control side of the control piston is connected with another connecting port of the control valve and with the restrictor.
