A proportional relief manifold system for a power take-off device includes a proportional relief solenoid valve. A pressure transducer is mechanically coupled to the proportional relief solenoid valve and is configured to measure an actual fluid pressure. Controller circuitry is in electrical communication with the pressure transducer and the proportional relief solenoid valve. The controller circuitry receives a desired fluid pressure and receives from the pressure transducer the measured actual fluid pressure. The controller circuitry determines a pressure difference between the received actual fluid pressure and the received desired fluid pressure and determines a pressure operating parameter based on the determined pressure difference. The controller circuitry modulates the actual fluid pressure by outputting the pressure operating parameter to the proportional relief solenoid valve to modify the actual fluid pressure to match the desired fluid pressure.

A compact work machine, such as a compact track loader and/or a compact utility loader, which can carry and operate a wide range of attachments while maintaining a reduced operating footprint.

A system and method of this disclosure control an on/off state of a power take-off by monitoring the power demand of a fluid power circuit that includes the power take-off and a piece of equipment connected to the power take-off. The power demand may be indicated by a pressure or temperature of a fluid power circuit, by a motion of the equipment or its hand-held controller, or by an engine torque of an engine driving the power take-off. When the equipment transitions between an off state and an on state, the controller automatically engages the power take-off. When the equipment is in the on-state for a predetermined amount of time and the power demand is at or below a predetermined threshold during the predetermined amount of timethereby indicating idle time or an inactive state of the equipmentthe controller automatically disengages the power take-off.

A method is for operating an axial piston machine whose displacement volume is continuously adjustable using a double-acting control cylinder having two oppositely acting control chambers. The method includes providing a corresponding axial piston machine. An electrically adjustable pressure control valve is connected to one control chamber. Another control chamber is connected to an electrically adjustable 3/2-way switching valve. The method includes providing a target control pressure difference. A zero case is defined as a case in which the target control pressure difference is essentially zero. A positive case is defined as a case in which the target control pressure difference is positive. A negative case is defined as a case in which the target control pressure difference is negative. The method further includes calculating a first and a second control pressure. A case differentiation includes determining whether the zero case, the positive case, or the negative case is present.

A refuse vehicle includes a vehicle body on a chassis having a frame, an internal combustion engine (ICE), and a transmission coupling the ICE with a plurality of tractive elements. The vehicle body includes an electrically powered body system and a hydraulically powered body system. A first power module is coupled with the ICE and is configured to provide rotary power to a hydraulic pump that is configured to provide hydraulic power to the hydraulically powered body system. A second power module is coupled with the transmission and configured to rotationally couple and decouple an electrical generator with the transmission. The generator is configured to charge at least one battery when rotationally coupled with the transmission. The battery is configured to provide electrical power to the electrically powered body system.
