A hydrostatic transmission pressure monitoring system includes a hydrostatic transmission and a pressure sensor data source. The hydrostatic transmission includes, in turn, a transmission casing, a pivoting yoke assembly rotatably mounted in the transmission casing, a hydrostatic pump-motor arrangement containing a hydraulic pump-motor circuit at least partially formed in the pivoting yoke assembly, and a pressure scaling device fluidly coupled to the hydraulic pump-motor circuit. The pressure scaling device is configured to generate a pressure-scaled output signal substantially proportional to a peak circuit pressure within the hydraulic pump-motor circuit. The pressure sensor data source is fluidly coupled to the pressure scaling device and is configured to generate pressure sensor data indicative of the pressure-scaled output signal.

A bicycle telescopic apparatus includes a first tube, a second tube, an actuating member, and a hydraulic positioning structure. The first tube defines an axial direction. The second tube is telescopically received in the first tube in the axial direction. The actuating member is movable relative to the first tube in the axial direction of the first tube. The actuating member is configured to move the second tube relative to the first tube in the axial direction. The hydraulic positioning structure is configured to position the first tube and the second tube relative to each other in the axial direction.

A coolant circuit for a self-propelled work machine includes multiple electric drive components, including a coolant pump for generating a flow of coolant which circulates in the coolant circuit, a heat exchanger for dissipating thermal energy stored in the coolant, and at least two circuit lines which extend parallel to each other and are embodied to guide the coolant past the drive components respectively assigned to them, in order to absorb thermal energy. A self-propelled work machine, in particular a mobile crane, includes multiple electric drive components and one or more such coolant circuits.

A cover system includes a cover, two bail arms, and a fluid circuit. Each bail arm is mounted on a gliding assembly. Each gliding assembly includes a gliding body slidably supported on a vehicle frame, and a cylinder connected to the gliding body and defining first and second ends. The fluid circuit is configured to supply fluid to the first end of the first cylinder and the second end of the second cylinder. A fluid line connects the second end of the first cylinder to the first end of the second cylinder and is configured to direct the fluid between the cylinders such that a flow of the fluid to the first cylinder causes movement of the cylinders, gliding bodies, and bail arms in a first direction, and a flow to the second cylinder causes movement of the cylinders, gliding bodies, and bail arms in a second opposite direction.

A cover system includes a flexible cover, a pair of bail arms connected to one end of said flexible cover, and a corresponding pivot mechanism for pivotably supporting each bail arm. Each pivot mechanism is mounted on a corresponding gliding assembly, and each gliding assembly includes a pair of oppositely disposed rails fixedly mounted to the frame of the vehicle, a gliding body slidably supported on the pair of rails, and a cylinder supporting the gliding body and slidably supported on a rod assembly. The rod assembly includes a pair of collinearly disposed rods, coupled together by a piston element, the piston element defining opposite fluid paths for a pressurizing fluid conveyed under pressure to the cylinder. A fluid circuit is configured to selectively supply pressurized fluid to each cylinder through the pair of rods to move the cylinder, and therefore the gliding body and bails arms supported thereon, in one of two opposite directions along the length of the vehicle frame.
