A hydrostatic traction drive includes a hydrostatic pump and a hydrostatic motor connected to each other in an open circuit. One of the pump and motor is pressure-regulated while the other is torque-controlled or regulated in terms of pivot angle. A braking mode is therefore possible in which the secondary-side braking torque can be adapted to the permissible primary-side supporting torque of a primary machine coupled to the pump. To further increase the braking power, even in a high rotational phase of the primary machine, the permissible drag torque thereof can be temporarily exceeded. To further increase the braking power and therefore to have high-performance braking during operation, further means for converting energy can be provided in order to adjust a secondary-side braking torque and a primary-side supporting torque independently of each other.

A sea wave power plant for generating electricity, and for supplying high pressure fluids to a water purification system. The power plant includes two compartments adjustable differential hydro cylinders that are assembled on floaters, an axial piston variable motor, a system for protecting the floaters in periods of storm in a way that the floater are positioned horizontally outside the water, and an automation sub-system. The wave power plant is combined of several modular units that each one of them serves as independent sea water power plan.

The present disclosure relates to a hydraulic drive system having a hydraulic circuit architecture operable in first and second modes. In a first mode, a main hydraulic pump (22) is used to drive a hydraulic actuator (24) via a closed hydraulic circuit, and a charge pump (42) provides charge flow to the closed hydraulic circuit. In a second mode the main pump set to zero displacement and the charge pump (42) is used to drive the hydraulic actuator (24).

An agricultural spreader system includes a first motor, a second motor, and a valve system coupled to the first motor and to the second motor. The first motor is configured to be driven by a working fluid and to drive a first spreader disc in rotation. The second motor is configured to be driven by the working fluid and to drive a second spreader disc in rotation. The valve system is configured to transition between a series flow arrangement and a parallel flow arrangement. The series flow arrangement is configured to direct the working fluid to the second motor through the first motor. The parallel flow arrangement is configured to direct a first portion of the working fluid to the first motor, and to direct a second portion of the working fluid to the second motor.

A quick-change system for changing attachments on a construction machine with a quick coupler arranged to be pivotable about a pivot axis orthogonal to the axis of rotation by means of a hydraulic slewing drive and rotatable about an axis of rotation on a connection part by means of a hydraulic rotary drive contains mounts and at least one locking element which can be actuated by means of a hydraulic drive to hold an attachment coupled to the quick coupler. The quick-change system includes a hydraulic control device, which contains a first control circuit to drive rotary drive and slewing drive, at least one additional control circuit to supply the attachment coupled to the quick coupler and a shuttle valve arrangement to expose the hydraulic drive to the higher pressures acting in the first or the at least one additional control circuit to activate the at least one locking element.

An example includes a hydraulically controllable coupling to couple a rotating input and to an output to rotate, or to decouple the input and the output, with coupling and decoupling modes selected by switching a hydraulic device such as a vane pump between a pumping mode and a mode in which it does not pump. In an example, the system cooperates with a transmission to increase the number of possible gear ratios in some examples.
