Abstract

A precontrolled three-way pressure reduction valve having essentially vibration-free operation is encased in a cartridge and has a hollow control piston wherein a working fluid space is formed as a T-shaped cavity within the control piston. In the cavity, there are axial and transverse bores of approximately the same diameter. A groove encircles the control piston, and has a width which is slightly larger than a diameter of the transverse bore, the transverse bore communicating with the groove.
