  • Controller and system for utility vehicle
    Patent number: 10890165
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a pump having a swash plate tiltable about a swashplate tilt axis, wherein rotation of the swashplate changes the title angle and effects a change in volumetric displacement of the pump. A controller is operatively coupled to the swashplate to effect rotation of the swashplate, the controller including a processor and memory, and logic stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the logic configured to automatically control at least one vehicle characteristic independent of a user input command.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 2016
    Date of Patent: January 12, 2021
    Assignee: Parker-Hannifin Corporation
    Inventors: David Mark Heathcoat, Kirk Ayres Lola, Roger Paul Gray, II, Kerry Brock, Michael T. Crosby

  • HYDRAULICALLY CONTROLLED HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION
    Publication number: 20150292499
    Abstract: A hydrostatic transmission system includes a pump including a rotatable swash plate, wherein rotation of the swashplate effects a change in volumetric displacement of the pump. An actuator is coupled to the swashplate, the actuator operative to effect rotation of the swashplate to change the volumetric displacement of the pump. An electronic controller is operatively coupled to the actuator, the electronic controller configured to command the actuator to effect rotation of the swashplate.
