Abstract:
The circuit comprises first and second power lines connected to a port of a first actuator chamber and to the port of a second actuator chamber, respectively; a supply line and a discharge line connected to a supply source and to a discharge reservoir; a first sliding member valve capable of connecting the first power line to the supply and discharge lines under the control of pilot pressures transmitted to the first sliding member valve by a first pair of pilot lines; and a second sliding member valve capable of connecting the second power line with the supply and discharge lines under the control of pilot pressures transmitted to the second sliding member valve by a second pair of pilot lines. The one line of the first pair of pilot lines and the one line of the second pair of pilot lines transmit the same first pilot pressure signal; the other line of the first pair of pilot lines and the other line of the second pair of pilot lines transmit the same second pilot pressure signal, whereby the actuator can be controlled by only two pilot pressures.
