A flow amplifier (1) with an inlet (4) and an outlet (5) is provided, between which a first branch (6), through which a flow of a fluid to be amplified is flowing, with a first throttling device (8), the throttle resistance of which is adjusted in dependence on the pressure across and by the flow rate through the first throttling device, and a second branch (7) with a second throttling device (11), the throttle resistance of which is adjusted in dependence on the throttle resistance of the first throttling device. In a flow amplifier of that kind, the amplification factor is intended to be made independently of pressure losses in the generation of the flow to be amplified. For that purpose, at least one pressure-divider (14, 15; 17, 18) with a central take-off point (16; 19) is provided, which is supplied by a pressure difference between inlet (4) and outlet (5), the pressure at the central take-off point (15, 19) controlling the flow rate through the second throttling device (11).

Apparatus for controlling the movement of hydraulically movable work equipment that is arranged at the end of a length-adjustable and pivotable arm, along a substantially rectilinear path of movement, the work equipment being moved with the assistance of hydraulic drive units that act on the arm in dependence on input control signals that determine the path of movement. Even in the case of non-ideal control loops for the control of the drive units, it is intended that the work equipment be moved along a desired path. For that purpose, starting from an actual position of the work equipment, a sequence of desired positions in the path of movement is ascertained and the work equipment is moved from an actual position to the next desired position, the movement into the next position not being initiated until the work equipment is located in a predetermined tolerance band about the preceding position.

A geroter hydrostatic steering control is disclosed in which the directional valve is spring biased to a neutral position. The rotor, the commutating valve, the rotor casing and the directional valve are all axially aligned adjacent to each other thus reducing the overall axial length of the device.

The invention relates to a hydrostatic steering control unit of the type having valving for an open center neutral position which bypasses pressurized fluid from the pump to the tank when in neutral. During a turning operation with a steering wheel the open center valving is caused to close and the pressurized fluid is directed to one side or the other of a servomotor which is connected to wheels to be steered. The open center valving includes orifices in relatively rotatable elements which are aligned in the neutral position and closed to effect the turning operation. Open center valving can be the cause of noise and cavitation and such valving herein is provided with slot shaped orifices and flat generally wedge shaped throttle passages to minimize the noise and cavitation problems. The throttle passages are defined by curved bounding surfaces having rectangularly shaped outlines. A characteristic of the curved surfaces is that they are formed with exponentially shaped sections.

The invention relates to a steering control unit for a bidirectional servomotor which is connectable to steerable wheels. A steering wheel controlled quantity setting unit of a known type has ports connectable to a pump and a return tank and two control ports through which metered quantities of fluid flow to opposite sides of the servomotor and to other parts of the apparatus for actuating the servomotor. A directional control valve for selectivity directing pressurized fluid from a power circuit to opposite sides of the servomotor is controlled by a control circuit containing the setting unit. A utility valve having pressure regulating and control and power valve capabilities is provided. In cases wherein the quantity setting apparatus is remotely located from the regulating valve the length of the signal channels add to the reaction time. Such reaction time is reduced herein by connecting the metering throttle as a fixed throttle between the regulating valve and quantity setting apparatus so that the regulating valve feeds a substantially constant quantity to the control cicuit, and that the quantity setting apparatus comprises a short circuit path to the tank which closes with an increase in the quantity.

The invention relates to a steering assembly having a bidirectional servomotor of the differential piston type which is connectable to steerable wheels. A directional control valve unit has a spool valve with two collars which cooperates with the housing to form first and second end control chambers and a middle chamber. A power circuit supplies pressurized fluid equally to the end control chambers and a manually operable control pump is operable to selectively and incrementally increase and decrease the pressures in the end chambers in a push-pull mode to effect movement of the servomotor piston in either direction. The control valve has two ports connected to opposite ends of the servomotor with one port providing fixed and constant fluid communication between the first valve chamber and one side of the servomotor. The other valve unit port is cooperable with one of the collars of the spool valve to provide a dual throttling action wherein oppositely acting throttling occurs between the port and the middle and second valve chambers depending on the axial position of the spool valve. Control pressure from the manually operated pump which moves the spool valve incrementally one way or the other causes the throttling collar to either admit additional pressurized fluid to the associated end of the servomotor or release pressurized fluid therefrom to the middle chamber.

The invention relates to hydraulic control apparatus for a servomotor of the type utilized for vehicle steering systems. Such apparatus has a control circuit controlled by a manually operated device such as a steering wheel and a power circuit connected between the servomotor and a power source such as a hydraulic pump. The power circuit includes resetting apparatus for throttling the return flow branch in a manner so that forces applied to the servomotor in the same direction as actuation are absorbed with a minimum of reactionary movement by the valves on the return flow side of the apparatus.

A hydraulic steering system having apparatus for compensating for steering angle error. On displacement of a steering handwheel, the steering handwheel angle, the steering motor angle and the steering handwheel speed are ascertained. The fluid flow between a steering control device and a steering motor is changed via auxiliary flow paths in dependence on the steering angle error. At every steering handwheel speed and every steering angle error, the change of the fluid flow is effected in dependence on the steering handwheel speed and the steering angle error. A multiplier multiplies the outputs of a difference-generating means and a differentiator together, the output of the multiplier being connected by way of a proportional element to a valve control device connected to pass signals to a valve arrangement which controls the auxiliary flow paths.

A hydraulic control valve and sensing mechanism for controlling flow between a motor and a pump and container that includes a slide mounted in a housing bore for movement between a neutral position and two operative position. The slide has a central collar separated from end collars by slide grooves, profilings on diametric opposite sides of the slide grooves intersecting each groove. The housing bore has a pump groove supplied with pressure medium, axially opposite motor grooves connectable to motor conduits, and axially opposite the motor grooves from the pump grooves there are container grooves connectable to the container. The pressure sensing mechanism includes at least one pressure sensing orifice that is connected to the pressure to be sensed in an operative position of the slide but not being fluidly connected thereto when the slide is in its neutral position.
