Abstract: A control system for stopping a hydraulic motor in a predetermined position comprises a valve connected in parallel across the motor, the valve having a closed position and an open position in which flow is via a throttle orifice. When the motor is being driven normally the valve is closed. When the main control regulator for the motor is moved to stop the motor, the valve is automatically opened to allow limited fluid flow through the motor during a slowing down phase. A detector senses when the motor is a predetermined distance from its desired stopping position, and moves the valve to its closed position. Overload valves are provided to prevent overpressures.

Abstract: A fluid supply circuit for supplying three motors includes means for sequentially connecting two of the motors to the supply conduit of the third motor as the pressure in the supply conduit rises through first and second threshold levels.
