  • Patent number: 11702819
    Abstract: A work machine includes a mainframe, a boom moveable relative to the mainframe, a work implement coupled to and moveable relative to the boom. The work machine further includes a work-implement operator control configured to transmit a signal indicative of a work-implement movement command, a boom operator control configured to transmit a signal indicative of a boom movement command, and a boom sensor configured to detect a movement of the boom and transmit a signal indicative of the detected movement of the boom. The work implement further includes a controller configured to receive signals from the work-implement operator control, the boom operator control, and the boom sensor. The controller is further configured transmit a signal to cause movement the work implement relative to the boom based on the detected movement of the boom and the work-implement movement command.

  • Publication number: 20210301842
    Abstract: A hydraulic drain system for a working machine including a hydrostatic pump, a tank, a cooler, a first conduit, and a second conduit. The hydrostatic pump is configured to be driven by a prime mover. The tank is configured to store fluid drained from the hydrostatic pump. The cooler is positioned upstream of the tank. The first conduit couples the hydrostatic pump to the cooler. The second conduit directly couples the hydrostatic pump to the tank.

  • Publication number: 20100101223
    Abstract: A hydraulic circuit for an actuator that has a piston and piston rod that will move a load in a first direction, and which can be externally loaded in an opposite direction, includes a flow compensated valve between the actuator and a control valve. When the piston in the actuator is moved in the second opposite direction under the external load and the rate of flow of fluid out of the actuator through the flow compensated valve exceeds a selected rate, an orifice is introduced in the flow path to restrict flow from the actuator.
