Abstract: An input apparatus capable of concurrently accommodating itself to any external signal from a different hydraulic control system or the like. The apparatus includes electrical load sensors each arranged on a push rod or block for detecting the amount of operation of a control lever to generate an electrical signal corresponding to the amount of operation of the control lever. Also, an input apparatus which is capable of concurrently responding to both a signal generated by itself and an external signal fed thereto is provided. The apparatus includes a pilot section for exerting force which permits a shuttle to be moved against coiled compression springs. The pilot section is fed with a signal from an external hydraulic control system.

Abstract: A control device for an actuator adapted to control a discharge pressure of a variable discharge pump by means of a regulator and capable of ensuring sufficient flow control range of change-over valves with respect to a spool stroke even when the number of rotations of an engine for driving the variable discharge pump is reduced to decrease a discharge rate of fluid from the variable discharge pump. Elastic force of a spring of a valve constituting the regulator is adjusted by means of a cylinder associated with a throttle lever for controlling the engine. Also, a control valve is arranged so as to be associated with the throttle lever, so that a pressure on a downstream side of the variable discharge pump is increased to change over the valve.

Abstract: A device for controlling multiple hydraulic actuators to protect a system from an overpressure caused by increasing the load on an individual actuator. By controlling the supply of hydraulic fluid to a pair of cylinders each associated with a pilot valve so that each cylinder always has enough fluid pressure to operate, the device of the present invention prevents the shutdown of the device caused by too much fluid going to the actuator operating at the maximum pressure. Thus all actuators continue to operate even if one is overpressured.
