  • Patent number: 6336324
    Abstract: A control circuit, in particular for a slewing gear of a digger, has a hydraulic fluid tank (21), connected to two adjusting pressure chambers (10, 11). Each of the connections contains a separate brake valve (19, 20). The first of the valves (19) is operated by the differential between the working pressure in the first working conduit (2), and the control pressure in the control conduit (33, 34) charged with the higher pressure. The second valve (20) is operated by the differential between the working pressure in the second working circuit (3) and the control pressure in the control circuit charged with the higher pressure. Slow braking by the brake valves is interrupted when the slewing gear swings out against a resistance such as a heap of debris.
