  • Patent number: 5941155
    Abstract: A flow control valve is disposed in a bleed-off line which is for returning to a tank a portion of an oil flow advancing toward a hydraulic motor from a hydraulic pump. Upon operation of a control valve in an accelerating direction, the flow control valve is operated in a closing direction with a certain time lag, while upon operation of the control valve in a decelerating direction, the flow control valve is operated in an opening direction without a time lag. By so doing, an accelerating operation can be done smoothly while maintaining a required torque.
