A hydraulic system for a rear gate of a baler implement includes a fluid circuit having a first portion connected to and disposed in fluid communication with a first fluid port of a hydraulic cylinder. A flow bypass assembly is disposed in the first portion of the fluid circuit. The flow bypass assembly includes a flow rate control valve selectively moveable between a first position allowing fluid communication therethrough at a first flow rate, and a second position blocking fluid communication therethrough. The flow bypass assembly further includes a bypass passageway for circulating the fluid when the flow rate control valve is closed. A flow restriction is disposed within the bypass passageway to provide a second flow rate that is less than the first flow rate.

A pneumatic control device of auto door includes a first directional control valve configured to control a direction of a compressed air supplied to a door cylinder for opening and closing a door, a door detection sensor configured to detect an open/close state of the door, first and second exhaust lines respectively connected to first and second outlet ports of the first directional control valve, and second directional control valves installed in the first and second exhaust lines respectively to operably exhaust the compressed air exhausted from the first and second outlet ports according to an emergency stop signal, and capable of changing positions to reduce an exhaust speed of the compressed air in case that the door is not completely open or closed when an operation signal is generated after the emergency stop signal.

A method of aligning a flat or profiled metal sheet with preformed notches on the two sides of the metal sheet when the sheet enters into a bender or folding machine directly from a roll forming machine linked or joined to the folder. The metal sheet has to be effectively aligned on the folder before folding to avoid potential damages to the metal sheet of not being properly squared or angled on bending while reducing the times to produce the folded products. Moreover, this method according to the invention allows the metal sheet to feed directly into the folder from the rollformer without having to pass through an intermediary transfer table or aligning device/machine before entering the folder for folding or manual alignment in the folder.

An apparatus includes a hydraulic circuit that is configured to selectively open fluid communication between one portion of the hydraulic circuit and another portion of the hydraulic circuit, such as a reservoir, based on the flow of the hydraulic fluid in the one portion. When the flow of hydraulic fluid exceeds a selected threshold in the one portion of the hydraulic circuit, the flow of fluid urges the opening of a hydraulic component of the hydraulic circuit to allow fluid communication between the one portion and the reservoir to discharge fluid from the one portion.

This control device controls movement of a valve body of a valve device included in a hydraulic system and includes: a stroke command calculator that calculates a stroke command for the valve body on the basis of an opening command that is input to the stroke command calculator; an observer that estimates, on the basis of the stroke command, a dynamic deviation of a stroke of the valve body that corresponds to the stroke command; and a flow force estimator that estimates, on the basis of the stroke command and the dynamic deviation, a flow force acting on the valve body. The stroke command calculator calculates the stroke command on the basis of the flow force in addition to the opening command.

A hydraulic apparatus has a plurality of pump modules each of which is formed by a plurality of working chambers having a common high pressure manifold. A connecting circuit switchably connects pump modules to first and second hydraulic circuit portions to allocate capacity as first and second demands for hydraulic fluid vary. In an apparatus which may have two or more connecting circuit outputs, valves may be controlled or working chamber pumping cycles made inactive to facilitate the reallocation of a pump module from one output to another, and a control strategy addresses pump module allocation when the demands for hydraulic fluid exceed available capacity.

Problem to be solved: To provide a hydraulic circuit for the construction machine which enables to use the relief valve of low capacity in the work tool circuit. Solution: The hydraulic circuit 2 for a construction machine has: a hydraulic pump 4 of variable capacity, a work tool 6 operated by hydraulic oil delivered by the hydraulic pump 4, a work tool operating device 10 to output a signal for operating the work tool 6, a control valve 14 allowing the hydraulic pump 4 to supply the hydraulic oil to the work tool 6 based on the signal output from the work tool operating device 10, a tool's relief valve 44 to release the hydraulic oil flowing between the control valve 14 and the work tool 6, a pressure sensor 46 to detect a pressure of hydraulic oil flowing into the work tool 6, and a controller 48 to reduce a delivery rate from the hydraulic pump 4 when the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 46 exceeds a predetermined value.

A hydraulic machine. A high pressure line allows working fluid to flow into a hydraulic motor. A low pressure line allows working fluid to flow out of the hydraulic motor. High pressure line valves open and close the high pressure line. Low pressure line valves open and close the low pressure line. An operator input device inputs a command to control movement of the hydraulic motor. A control unit controls the high pressure line valves and the low pressure line valves to be opened and closed by receiving the command from the operator input device. The control unit controls the high pressure line valves to have a normalized flow factor K.sub.vHP, and controls the low pressure line valves to have a normalized flow factor K.sub.vLP, where K.sub.vLP<K.sub.vHP when a normalized flow factor K.sub.vcmd corresponding to the command is 0<K.sub.vcmd<1.
