A hydraulic control loop controls a hydraulic adjusting cylinder. The cylinder has a cylindrical housing and a displaceable piston therein. The piston divides the housing interior into a first and a second hydraulic chamber. A first hydraulic valve supplies the first hydraulic chamber with hydraulic fluid. A hydraulic pressure of the first hydraulic chamber is adjustable by controlling the first hydraulic valve. A second hydraulic valve supplies the second hydraulic chamber with hydraulic fluid. A hydraulic pressure of the second hydraulic chamber is adjustable by controlling the second hydraulic valve. A control device controls the two hydraulic valves. In a position control state, the second hydraulic valve is controlled by a position control signal dependent on the working position of the piston and the first hydraulic valve is controlled by an adjusted position control signal, that is generated on the basis of the position control signal.

A power transmission device includes a first power transmission path for transmitting a driving force of a motor to one driven shaft, and a second power transmission path for transmitting the driving force of the motor to another driven shaft. At least one of the first power transmission path or the second power transmission path includes a first intermediate rotor fixed to an output shaft of the motor, a second intermediate rotor rotated by the first intermediate rotor and moving arcuately along an outer circumference of the first intermediate rotor, a driving shaft rotated by the second intermediate rotor and transmitting the driving force to the one driven shaft or the another driven shaft. The driving shaft is configured to move in a direction perpendicular to an axial center direction of the driving shaft in accordance with movement of the second intermediate rotor around the first intermediate rotor.

A forming machine, particularly a ring-rolling machine, which includes a hydraulically regulated linear axle, which is driven by way of an electro-hydrostatic actuator, can work precisely while having a simple mechanical-engineering structure. The machine may have at least one further hydraulically regulated linear axle, which is driven by way of an electro-hydrostatic actuator or by way of a drive other than an electro-hydrostatic actuator.
