A header is supported by a pair of hydraulic float cylinders, where a float pressure to the cylinders is directly controlled by an electronic control supplying a variable control signal to a PPRR valve arrangement to maintain the float pressure at a predetermined value. At the set pressure a predetermined lifting force is provided to the header. A position sensor is used to generate an indication of movement and/or acceleration and/or velocity. The electronic control is arranged, in response to changes in the sensor signal, to temporarily change the control signal to vary the lifting force and thus change the dynamic response of the hydraulic float cylinder. A lift force greater than that required to lift the header can be provided by a lift cylinder and can be opposed in a controlled manner to apply a controlled downforce by the back of the same cylinder or by a separate component.

A servo valve for precisely controlling a position of a pneumatic cylinder does not require a servo amplifier and a small sized and/or high durability servo valve unit. The servo valve comprises a unit body having first and second portions, first and second valve portions, first and second seal members that open and close the first and second valve portions, respectively, first and second drive mechanisms that drive first and second seal members by first and second electric pulses, respectively, a supply flow path between the first end and first valve, an exhaust flow path between the second end and second valve, a common flow path connected to the supply and exhaust flow paths via first and second valve portions, and a drive flow path connected to the pneumatic actuator. First and second drive mechanisms are arranged in a drive mechanism arrangement portion located between first and second end portions.

Aircraft power system is disclosed having a hydraulic reservoir, a bi-directional hydraulic pump for pumping hydraulic fluid to and from the reservoir, and an electric motor. The electric motor is connectable to a first driveable component of the aircraft such that the electric motor is arranged to drive the first driveable component of the aircraft. The hydraulic pump is connectable to the first driveable component of the aircraft such that the hydraulic pump is arranged to pump hydraulic fluid from the reservoir to drive the first driveable component of an aircraft. Thus, in a first driveable mode of operation, the first driveable component is driven by both the electric motor and the hydraulic pump.

A servo valve includes a fluid transfer valve assembly comprising a supply port and a control port; a valve spool arranged to regulate flow of fluid from the supply port to the control port in response to a control signal; and a drive means configured to move the valve spool relative to the fluid transfer assembly in response to the control signal to regulate the fluid flow. The drive means is arranged to rotate the spool relative to the fluid transfer assembly, the spool provided with openings arranged to selectively align with or block flow channels in the fluid transfer assembly according to the direction and degree of rotation of the spool.

A milling machine has a frame, ground engaging tracks that support the frame, a first actuator connecting the frame to a first track of the ground engaging tracks and a second actuator connecting the frame to a second track from the ground engaging tracks. The milling machine has an orientation sensor that determines an orientation of the frame. The milling machine has a controller that operates the first and second actuators to raise or lower the frame. The controller determines the frame orientation using the orientation sensor. The controller also determines a velocity error between actuator velocities of the first and second actuators based on the frame orientation and a target orientation of the frame. The controller determines a control parameter for the second actuator based on the velocity error and operates the second actuator using the determined control parameter.
