The controller calculates a bleed-off target flow rate on a basis of the flow rate of hydraulic oil fed from a hydraulic oil pump and the target flow rate for hydraulic oil fed to the hydraulic device, calculates a bleed-off throttle differential pressure on a basis of a pressure of hydraulic oil fed from the hydraulic oil pump and a pressure of hydraulic oil in a hydraulic oil tank, calculates a bleed-off target opening area on a basis of the bleed-off target flow rate and the bleed-off throttle differential pressure, and controls a hydraulic oil control valve such that the bleed-off target opening area is achieved.

An apparatus and control system of a programmable air servo motor includes an air servo motor and an air servo motor driver, which are bi-directionally communicable with each other via communication units. The air servo motor includes an air motor, a sensor module, and a brake module that is normally locked and can be unlocked or locked by the air servo motor driver. The air servo motor driver includes a control module, an actuation module and a communication module. After actuating the air servo motor, the air servo motor driver receives torque, rotational speed and angle signals output by the sensor module. The actuation module drives the air servo motor to stop emergently, switch between forward and reverse rotation, increase or reduce rotational speed, operate at a specific angle, move by inching and operate at controlled torque similar to an electric servo motor without the need of an encoder.

A shuttle valve connects a second flowpath and a drain flowpath when the hydraulic pressure in a first flowpath is greater than the hydraulic pressure in the second flowpath. The shuttle valve connects the first flowpath and the drain flowpath when the hydraulic pressure in a second flowpath is greater than the hydraulic pressure in the first flowpath. The ratio between the pressure receiving area of a first pressure section and the pressure receiving area of a second pressure section is the same as the ratio between the pressure receiving area of a first chamber side and the pressure receiving area of a second chamber side of a cylinder rod.

An injection moulding system, water jet cutting machine or other industrial system has a synthetically controlled variable displacement fluid working machine which outputs hydraulic fluid to one or more fluid consumers, such as rams or hydraulic motors, through hydraulically stiff fluid retaining volumes and receives hydraulic fluid back from one or more fluid consumers through the same or other said hydraulically stiff fluid retaining volumes. Individual piston cylinder assemblies can be allocated to different outputs. There may be no valve between the machine and the consumers. A working chamber of the machine can be caused to undergo a motoring cycle to enable the machine to output more power than is received from a motor driving the machine. An accumulator can be used to provide a source of hydraulic compliance. The machine can be controlled using pressure control, flow control, feed forward control or variable power/variable power limit control.

A hydraulic control apparatus includes: a branch path that branches from a passage connected to an oil pump and equipment to which oil is supplied by the oil pump; an accumulator connected to the branch path to accumulate and discharge high-pressure oil supplied from the branch path; a check valve provided in an oil inlet path through which oil flows into the accumulator; a balance valve unit including a reference pressure chamber, a balance valve body that is biased toward an opening side by an opening compression spring, and a control pressure chamber; and a control solenoid that introduces or discharges the high-pressure oil into or from the control pressure chamber.

The controller is configured or programmed to make a difference between a reduction rate of the target fan rotation speed in the reduction control and an increase rate of the target fan rotation speed in the restoration control.
