A hydraulic circuit with a compensation and energy recovery function includes a distribution module having at least one spool defining a main delivery branch and a discharge branch. The hydraulic circuit also includes a supply unit and a three-way compensated adjustment device connected to the spool discharge branch and connected to discharge at a second channel. The three-way compensated adjustment device further includes a first piloting line and a second piloting line configured so that a Maximum Load Sensing piloting signal acts on a first side and a Local Load Sensing piloting signal acts on the second side. An energy recovery device and a selection section are configured to receive a signal at reduced pressure and send it to the first piloting line to activate the three-way compensated adjustment device switching to a position where the fluid coming from the discharge branch is sent to the energy recovery device.

A control arrangement for supplying a plurality of hydrostatic actuators includes a pump with an output connected to a circulating line that opens into a tank. The control arrangement has a metering port and an individual pressure compensator for each actuator. The individual pressure compensators are connected in series by the circulating line. Some of the pressure medium are configured to be branched off from the circulation channel for the respective actuator by the individual pressure compensators and fed to the metering port disposed downstream of the individual pressure compensator. The pressure medium that is not required is forwarded from each individual pressure compensator into the circulating line and is fed back from the last individual pressure compensator to the tank by the circulating line. The actuators are prioritized based on the order of their individual pressure compensators and move independently of the load pressure without expensive load sensing lines.
