Abstract: The invention relates to a control system for automatically regulating the displacement setting of a plurality of variable-displacement hydrostatic pumps that are connected in parallel, each via a respective working pressure line, to a common consumer line and are each connected to a respective adjusting device that can be acted on by an adjusting pressure, each of said adjusting device having associated with it a pilot valve that is acted on towards a regulating position, against a counter-pressure, by a first control pressure corresponding to the pressure in the working pressure line of the respective pump and by a second control pressure corresponding to the displacement setting of the associated pump, and which in the control position regulates the setting pressure acting on the adjusting device to reduce the displacement of the associated pump.

Abstract: In an axial piston pump of fixed or adjustable displacement having a two-part housing, namely a housing part accommodating the pistons and a connecting part through which the pressure passage and the suction passage extend, the suction passage having a suction opening with a larger cross-section than that of the pressure passage, the connecting part can be mounted to the housing part as desired in two positions turned substantially through 180.degree. about the center axis of the axial piston engine. This construction enables the pump to be adapted to operate with either direction of displacement with little trouble and expense.

Abstract: In an axial piston machine of the swashplate or bent axis type having slot control and a pressure balancing passage at the inlet end of the high pressure (HP) control slot, erosion caused by the jet of the pressure balancing passage is prevented by providing at the inlet end of the HP-control slot an interference jet passage starting from the high pressure whose opening is arranged so that the directions of flow of the pressure balancing passage and the outlet of the interference jet passage intersect.

Abstract: A regulator for an adjustable hydrostatic machine (1) having a hydraulic servo controller (4) for continuous variation of the displacement volume, with a valve device (16, 18) for controlling or regulating the servo controller (4) in dependence on the displacement volume and/or working pressure of the hydrostatic machine (1) and a second regulating valve (15) for regulating the servo controller (4) in dependence on the displacement volume, is arranged so that it can be operated without significant regulating losses in the working stream. This is done by providing a third control valve (48), controlled in dependence on the control movement of the servo controller (4), to control the pressure acting on the second regulating valve (15).

Abstract: A torque control device for an adjustable hydropump is described which is based on an output control device in which the output control is determined as a function of the output pressure of the hydropump and a pressure in a working pressure control line. For this purpose a torque valve is provided whose closure power is determined by a measuring spring or set of springs connected with the pump control member and pretensioned depending on the output setting. The torque valve connects the working pressure control line with the pressureless outlet depending on the pressure in the working pressure control line and the pretension of the measuring spring. The torque valve can be fixed on to the hydropump as a separate unit and the control characteristic can be changed from outside by adjustment of the measuring spring.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrostatic axial piston machine (1) having a cylinder drum (9), rotating in a housing, which cylinder drum receives pistons (12) arranged on a pitch circle, and having an inclined disc (16) which pivots, in a pivot, about a swivelling axis (21) which extends eccentrically to the pitch circle, which pivot is formed by at least one bearing (23) having a bearing surface (26) which is free in the direction of the pistons (12), the inclined disc (16) being arranged loosely between the bearing (23) and the pistons (12) and being pivotable by means of an adjusting member (28). The aim of the invention is to develop the axial piston machine so that, while ensuring a simple structural design sign and simple assembly and dismantling of the inclined disc (16) and of the adjusting member (28), defined limitation of the adjusting movement of the inclined disc (16) in the direction of zero position or minimum delivery is possible.

Abstract: A ball-jointed bearing arrangement of the piston heads in an axial piston machine within a drive flange wherein a bearing member formed of a material with good antifriction properties for receiving a piston head is seated in a recess of the drive flange whereby all bearing members are covered by a covering plate which is detachably fastened to the drive flange. The bearing member is formed of a spherically indented cup of a flat material, such as sheet metal, which is inserted into the respective recess, which recesses conform in shape, pitch circle and distribution to the piston heads, however, are constructed in conformance with the thickness of the respective spherical dished cup deeper and larger in diameter, and in which the covering plate is traversed by the piston heads and is fastened on the side of the drive flange towards the piston heads.

Included is an adjusting arrangement for setting the angular position of the cylinder drum, consisting of a displaceable setting element arranged on the housing generally in parallel with the drive shaft and of an angle lever supported in the housing so as to be pivotable about the swivel axis of the cylinder drum, whose first lever arm is articulated on the setting element and whose second lever arm engages on the swivel carriage.

Abstract: An axial piston pump arrangement in which pistons are guided in cylinders provided in a cylinder block. The latter has channels for releasing liquid pressure within the cylinders in an area between kidney-shaped control openings that are arranged in the distributor plate. The channels are arranged in the cylinder block and feed into the cylinders at a location on the cylinder walls, which is uncovered by the pistons when the swash plate actuating the pistons, is at a substantially large inclination. These channels lead from the outside of the cylinder block to the internal walls of the cylinders, and are arranged radially in the cylinder block in the form of bores. At least two of the channels are arranged at various distances from the distributor plate in the area of the cylinder walls, so that an increasing number of channels is uncovered with increased inclination of the swash plate. The channels may have increasing diameter at increasing distance from the distributor plate.
