Abstract

The linear saturation (LS) control device has a path valve (1), the valve slide (10) of which enables consumer connections (A, B) to be made for two consumers to an input connection (P) and an output connection (T). The flow path can be connected to two successive or overlapping pressure limiting chambers (24, 28) with pressure limiting valves (6, 8).
