Abstract

The disclosure is directed to a valve arrangement for controlling a linear or rotary hydraulic motor. The valve is connected to a pump which acts as a pressure medium source by the valve means and to a tank. The tank connection may be either direct or indirect. The arrangement of the present invention includes at least one seat valve located in a main flow connection between the pump and a port of the motor. Each of the seat valves would adjust the flow in the main flow connection to the motor via a pilot flow adjustable by a pilot valve. The pilot flow originates from the main flow through the seat valve.
