Abstract

The present invention relates to control of a hydraulic piston/cylinder unit, in particular a multi-disc clutch having a control valve which can be moved into an open and a closed position, a first connecting line connected to the hydraulic piston/cylinder unit and a second connecting line connected to a pressure feed. The first and second connecting lines are in communication with the control valve. The first connecting line is designed such that when subjected to pressure, a force acting in the closed position can be generated on the control valve. The control further possesses a first control line which is in connection with the control valve such that when subjected to pressure, a force acting in the open position can be generated on the control valve. Furthermore, a restrictor element is provided whose inlet can be connected to the pressure feed and whose outlet is in communication with a pressure store and the first control line. The control valve is designed such that it is moved from the open position to the closed position when the pressure force acting in the first connecting line exceeds the pressure force acting in the first control line by a given amount.
