Directly-controlled hydraulic directional valve

A directly controlled hydraulic directional valve, comprising:

• a valve housing that includes a valve bore;
• a control piston positioned in the valve bore either directly or via a control sleeve, such that the control piston is longitudinally displaceable in the valve bore;
• a double-stroke solenoid mounted on a side of the housing;
• a spring plate;
• a first spring that is positioned in a region of an end of the control piston remote from the double-stroke solenoid, that exerts a first force on the control piston in a first displacement direction, and that includes:
• a first end supported on the spring plate so as to clamp the spring plate between the first end of the first spring and the control piston over an entire stroke of the control piston;
• and
• a second end that is fixed relative to the housing;
• an adjustment device;
• and
• a second spring that is positioned in the region of the end of the control piston remote from the double-stroke solenoid, that exerts a second force on the control piston in a second displacement direction opposite to the first displacement direction such that the control piston is biased into a preferred position via the first force and second force, and that includes:
• a first end supported on the spring plate so as to clamp the spring plate between the first end of the second spring and the control piston over the entire stroke of the control piston;
• and
• a second end supported by the adjustment device, such that the adjustment device is operable to adjust a position of the second end of the second spring;
• wherein the double-stroke solenoid is configured to move the control piston out from the preferred position in response to an electric parameter.
