A hydraulic device (1) comprises a housing (2) and a shaft (3) which is rotatable about a first axis of rotation (4). The shaft (3) has a flange (8), a partly spherical portion (16) and a plurality of pistons (9), which are fixed to the flange (8). The device (1) also has a plurality of cylindrical sleeves (11), wherein each sleeve (11) has a sleeve bottom (13) comprising a sleeve opening (14) including a centreline (23). The sleeves (11) cooperate with the pistons (9) to form respective compression chambers (12) of variable volume. A barrel plate (15) is mounted on the partly spherical portion (16) and has barrel plate ports (21) including respective centrelines (22). The sleeves (11) are rotatable about a second axis of rotation (19) which intersects the first axis of rotation (4) by an acute swash angle. The barrel plate (15) is coupled to the shaft (3) in rotational direction thereof by means of a plurality of pin-groove couplings creating a plurality of pivot axes (24) about the second axis of rotation (19). The widths of the grooves (18) allow the pins (17) to move within the respective corresponding grooves (18) in rotational direction about the second axis of rotation (19) under operating conditions. The relative position of the shaft (3) and the barrel plate (15) in rotational direction about the second axis of rotation (19) is adapted such that under operating conditions each centreline (22) of the respective barrel plate ports (21) fluctuates in rotational direction about the second axis of rotation (19) with respect to the centreline (23) of the corresponding sleeve opening (14) within a range in which the centreline (23) of the sleeve opening (14) lies.

The present disclosure relates to an adjusting device for adjusting the swash plate of an axial piston machine comprising an adjusting piston, which is connected to the swash plate of the axial piston machine via an adjusting lever, and a regulator for adjusting the adjusting pressure acting on the adjusting piston in dependence on a control force acting on a control piston of the regulator, wherein the adjusting piston is connected to the control piston via a feedback spring. In accordance with the present disclosure the feedback spring is at least partly received in a pot-shaped recess of the control piston.

The second control module by way of the nominal outlet pressure and/or by way of the nominal delivery volume controls an adjusting mechanism of the hydro machine by way of a valve actuating signal.

A fluid-driven actuator system includes a fluid-driven actuator and at least one proportional control valve and at least one pump connected to the fluid-driven actuator to provide fluid to operate the fluid-driven actuator. The at least one pump includes at least one fluid driver having a prime mover and a fluid displacement assembly to be driven by the prime mover such that fluid is transferred from the pump inlet to the pump outlet. The fluid driven actuator system also includes a controller that establishes at least one of a speed and a torque of the at least one prime mover to adjust at least one of a flow in the fluid system to a flow set point and a pressure in the fluid system to pressure set point and a concurrently establishes an opening of the at least one proportional control valve to adjust at least one of the flow to the flow set point and the pressure to the pressure set point.

A hydrostatic drive includes a transmission having a pump and motor disposed on a center section, and a charge pump to provide fluid to a charge gallery. A power take off (PTO) driven by a prime mover includes a clutch assembly, solenoid valve, and PTO drive member driven by a prime mover input. When the solenoid valve is in a first position, fluid flows from the charge gallery to the clutch to connect the input with the PTO drive member, and when the solenoid valve is in a second position, fluid flows from the PTO mechanism to the sump to disengage the PTO drive member from the input. A filter may be disposed on a land on the center section and seated in a filter pocket in the housing. The filter engages with a bottom surface of the filter pocket to maintain a seal against the land.

A device, system, and process for turning hydraulic pressure into rotational force and for turning rotational motion into hydraulic pressure. An example of the device/system for performing the process comprises actuators, rotationally positioned between two thrust plates that are fixed in a housing at an angle to a rotational axis and in parallel to each other.

A hydraulic machine is described comprising a first part (1, 4) and a second part (7, 8), wherein the first part (1, 4) and the second part (7, 8) are movable relatively to each other in abutting relation, the first part (1, 4) comprises a pressure chamber (2) having a pressure chamber opening (6) in a contact face (5) contacting a sealing face (9) of the second part (7, 8), the second part (7, 8) comprises a low pressure area (10) connected to a low pressure opening (11) in the sealing face (9) and a high pressure area (12) connected to a high pressure opening (13) in the sealing face (9), wherein during a movement of the first part (1, 4) with respect to the second part (7, 8) in a moving direction (14) the pressure chamber opening (6) comes alternatingly in overlap with the low pressure opening (11) and the high pressure opening (13). Such a machine should be flexible in operation with low risk of damages caused by cavitation. To this end a throttling channel (15) in the second part (7, 8) connects the low pressure area (10) with an area in the sealing face (9) in moving direction in front of the low pressure opening (11).

An axial piston machine of oblique axis design has a pivot angle that is adjustable via a set piston and a control valve and includes a first valve slide that is linearly movable relative to a first valve axis and is connected at two opposite ends to a first or a second fluid port. The first valve slide has a central region that defines a control point at which the lower of pressures at the first and second fluid ports act. The control point is connected via a fixed first throttle and a second throttle to a housing interior. A second valve slide that is linearly movable relative to a second valve axis is configured to adjust the second throttle. The first valve axis is arranged between the set piston and the control valve or a region of the control valve and is oriented transverse to the adjusting axis.
