  • Publication number: 20240110365
    Abstract: A power machine can include a control device and a hydraulic circuit that can include a hydraulic pump in communication with a hydraulic motor that is configured to operate with infinitely variable displacement. The control device can be configured to determine a control value based on a commanded travel speed for the power machine and a pressure in the hydraulic circuit, and control a run-time displacement of the hydraulic motor based upon the determined control value.

  • Publication number: 20240052596
    Abstract: A hydraulic work system can include a continuously variable displacement hydraulic pump that is powered by an engine and is in communication with a hydraulic actuator. A run-time displacement of the hydraulic pump for movement of the hydraulic actuator can be controlled based on a speed of the engine.

  • Patent number: 11866912
    Abstract: A power machine can include a hydraulic drive system that includes an infinitely variable hydraulic drive motor. A run-time displacement of the hydraulic motor can be adjusted based on commanded travel speed or based on a output torque. In some case, the run-time displacement can be selected from one of a plurality of displacement ranges, such as a high range and a low range.

  • Publication number: 20220243744
    Abstract: A hydraulic assembly for an extendable lift arm assembly can include an extension cylinder, a leveling cylinder, a main control valve, a flow combiner/divider, and one or more flow-blocking arrangements. The main control valve can be configured to control commanded movement of the extension and leveling cylinders of the lift arm assembly. The flow combiner/divider can be configured to hydraulically link the extension cylinder with the leveling cylinder for synchronized operation of the extension cylinder and the leveling cylinder. The one or more flow-blocking arrangements can be configured to restrict flow from rod or base ends of the leveling or extension cylinders during commanded extension or retraction of the leveling and extension cylinders, or in the absence of commanded movement of the leveling and extension cylinders, to maintain synchronized orientation of the leveling and extension cylinders.
