Abstract: An agricultural sprayer (1) with a pump (20), a plurality of nozzles, a valve arrangement (28) associated with the nozzles and a feed conduit (25). The valve arrangement (28) selectively connects the feed conduit (25) to a bypass conduit (26) or to the nozzles. A return conduit (32) branches off from the feed conduit (25). A regulation valve (30) applies a variable degree of throttling to the fluid flowing through the return conduit. A pressure sensor (41) provides a signal for fluid delivered to the valve arrangement. A flow sensor (42) provides a signal representing the flow in the feed conduit (25). A controller (50) is in receipt of the sensor signals, receives instructions from an operator and controls the regulation valve (30) using the instructions from the operator and available measured signals using feedback control loops combined with a feed forward signal.

Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic steering arrangement (1) with a supply connection arrangement having at least a high-pressure connection (P) and a low-pressure connection (T), a working connection arrangement having at least two working connections (L, R), a steering unit (7), which can be activated by a steering transducer (2), the steering unit having a first load-sensing connection (LS1), and a steering valve (8) having a second load-sensing connection (LS2), the steering unit (7) and the steering valve (8) being arranged in parallel with each other between the supply connection arrangement and the working connection arrangement. It is endeavoured to ensure a good steering behaviour.

Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic steering arrangement with a steering motor, a supply path between a pressure source and the steering motor, in which supply path a throttling device and a measuring motor are located, a return path between the steering motor and a pressure sink, in which return path a return throttle is located, and a bypass path, which connects the supply path and the return path on the pressure source end or the pressure sink end, respectively, and which has a bypass throttle. It is endeavoured to make such steering arrangements suitable for fast motorboats. For this purpose it is ensured that with a load on the steering motor the pressure drop over the bypass throttle is larger than the sum of the pressure drops between a point before the first throttle and a point after the last throttle of the throttling device.

Abstract: The invention concerns a fully hydraulic steering with a steering member, a steering unit that can be activated by the steering member, said steering unit comprising a supply connection arrangement (P, T) with a pressure connection (P) and a tank connection (T), and a working connection arrangement (L, R) with two working connections (L, R), and a steering motor, which is connected with the working connection arrangement (L, R). It is endeavored to increase the possibilities of steering. For this purpose, it is ensured that an auxiliary force operated steering valve is arranged in parallel to the steering unit between the supply connection arrangement (P, T) and the working connection arrangement (L, R).
