  • Hydraulic system having a pressure compensator
    Publication number: 20060243128
    Abstract: A hydraulic system having a source of pressurized fluid and a fluid actuator with a first chamber and a second chamber. The hydraulic system also has a first valve configured to selectively fluidly communicate the source with the first chamber and a second valve configured to selectively fluidly communicate the source with the second chamber. The hydraulic system also has a supply passageway and a signal passageway each disposed between the first and second valves in parallel. The hydraulic system also has a proportional pressure compensating valve configured to control a pressure of a fluid directed between the source and the first and second valves. The hydraulic system further has a fluid passageway disposed between the supply and signal passageways to fluidly communicate the supply and signal passageways.
