The invention has a purpose of obtaining a brake hydraulic pressure controller capable of securing durability with a simple configuration and a motorcycle brake system. The brake hydraulic pressure controller is a hydraulic pressure controller for a vehicle brake system and includes: a base body that is formed with a channel filled with a brake fluid therein; a hydraulic pressure regulation valve that has a plunger and opens/closes the channel by translatory movement of said plunger; a drive coil that has a hollow section, is vertically provided in the base body in a state where one end of the plunger is inserted in said hollow section, and causes the translatory movement of the plunger to drive the hydraulic pressure regulation valve; and a coil casing that accommodates the drive coil. The coil casing includes a wall that covers at least a part of an apex of the vertically-provided drive coil, and the drive coil is pressed toward the base body by a projection formed in the wall.

A load sense open center hydraulic system provides efficiency and operator feedback and includes one or more constant flow-open center valves (218); respective one or more parallel power cores (238) operatively coupled to the one or more constant flow-open center valves; a variable capacity pump (246) directly fluidly connected to the one or more parallel power cores; and a pressure compensated flow control fluidly connected between the variable capacity pump and the one or more constant flow-open center valves. The one or more constant flow-open center valves are not fluidly coupled to a fixed capacity pump.

A turn-drive apparatus capable of securing high acceleration at the time of turning start with a reduced relief loss includes a hydraulic pump of a variable capacity type, a turning motor, a turning control device, a relief valve, and a flow rate control device that controls a pump flow rate. The flow rate control device calculates a relief-cut-control target pump flow rate on the basis of the sum of a minimum relief flow rate and a turning-speed flow rate, and inputs a pump capacity command to the variable capacity-type hydraulic pump based thereon. The flow rate control device makes the relief-cut-control target pump flow rate larger than the sum of the minimum relief flow rate and the turning-speed flow rate at the time of turning start.

A pressure control valve (1) includes a pressure port (P), a consumer port (A), a tank port (T), and a piston (K) which is displaceable counter to the force of a first spring (F1) and a second spring (F2). The springs (F1, F2) and area ratios of the pressure control valve (1) are designed such that the pressure port (P), in the non-pressurized condition, is connected to the consumer port (A) via an opening cross-section of the pressure control valve (1). An opening cross-section between the pressure port (P) and the consumer port (A) decreases depending on the pressure at the consumer port (A), and, upon attainment of a limiting pressure at the consumer port (A), the consumer port (A) is connected to the tank port (T). A related hydraulic system (HY) and a related motor vehicle transmission (G) are also provided.

A control device for at least one hydraulic working section (A, B), which can be connected to a pressure supply source (P) and a return flow (T) via a hydraulic supply circuit and to a control valve (34) supplied with a pilot pressure. The device includes an emergency shutdown system (32) having a pilot solenoid valve (16) and an additional valve (14). Both the hydraulic energy flow from the pressure supply source (P) to at least one of the respective working sections (A, B) and the pilot pressure supply to the control valve (34) can be suppressed by the pilot solenoid valve (16) via the additional valve (14).

A hydraulic circuit for a pair of cylinders of an articulation system includes a pump, a reservoir, a directional control valve (DCV), a pair of actuator valves (AVs) and an articulation charge circuit (ACC). The DCV is fluidly coupled to the pump, the reservoir and the pair of cylinders via a supply line, a fluid return line and a pair of cylinder supply lines (CSLs) respectively. Each CSL has a load check valve (LCV) therein. The AVs are fluidly coupled with the DCV and the pump via a pilot supply line (PSL) for actuating movement of the DCV. The ACC, associated with the PSL and each cylinder supply line downstream of the associated LCV, charges a corresponding CSL with fluid from the PSL for increasing a pressure in the corresponding CSL when the pressure in the corresponding CSL falls below the pressure of fluid associated with the PSL.
