Abstract: A return manifold includes a housing having a first workport, a second workport, a third workport, and a fourth workport, and defining a first chamber and a second chamber. The return manifold includes a back-pressure disk arranged between the first workport and the first chamber, a bypass disk arranged between the first chamber and the second chamber, a back-pressure spring biased between the back-pressure disk and the bypass disk, and a bypass spring biased against the bypass disk. The back-pressure disk and the bypass disk are hydro-mechanically coupled so that movement of the bypass disk alters a force on the back-pressure disk and movement of the back-pressure disk alters a force on the bypass disk.

Abstract: A hydraulic system includes a poppet control valve having an inlet workport, a function workport, a control chamber, and a poppet arranged between the inlet workport and the control chamber. The poppet is movable between an open position and a closed position. The hydraulic system further includes a pilot control valve. A pressure correlated to the function workport is supplied to a first side of the pilot control valve and a pilot source pressure is supplied to a second side of the pilot control valve. When a pressure in the function workport reaches a setpoint pressure, the pressure correlated to the function workport forces the pilot control valve to a position that increases a flow restriction between the control chamber and the function workport, so that the poppet moves in a direction toward the closed position and limits the pressure in the function workport to the setpoint pressure.
