Abstract: A control pressure switching valve is disposed between a displacement regulator and a pressure control valve. The control pressure switching valve is switched between a control position (j), in which a load sensing control pressure (PLS) is permitted to be outputted from the pressure control valve to the displacement regulator, and a control release position (k), in which the load sensing control pressure (PLS) to be outputted to the displacement regulator is reduced to a prescribed low pressure value. When the regeneration of a filter is determined to be necessary, the controller switches the control pressure switching valve to the control release position (k). When the load sensing control pressure (PLS) is reduced to the low pressure value with the control pressure switching valve switched to the control release position (k), the displacement regulator increases a delivery displacement of a hydraulic pump, thereby increasing rotational load of an engine.

Abstract: A control system for a variable displacement hydraulic motor. A movable element is movable to adjust the operating displacement of hydraulic fluid through the motor. A positioning actuator moves the movable element between first and second positions to cause maximum and minimum operating displacement of the motor.

The control system thus operates the motor in at least three modes: maximum operating displacement; minimum operating displacement; and an intermediate operating displacement.

Abstract: [Problem] To more smoothly commence actuation of a stroke simulation function. [Means for Resolution] A pedal feel simulator unit 3 of a master cylinder 1 has a start-up load reducing unit 28, and this start-up load reducing unit 28 has a start-up load reducing spring 29. The elastic modulus of the start-up load reducing spring 29 is set smaller than the elastic modulus of a simulator actuation piston return spring 16.

Because of this, the start-up load of the pedal feel simulator unit 3 is reduced.
