An apparatus controls fluid flow to an actuator. A feedback mechanism responds to a pressure differential that occurs across the actuator by altering the fluid flow. That pressure differential indicates acceleration of the actuator that can occur when the load acting thereon varies. Thus as the actuator accelerates, the apparatus reduces the flow of fluid which counteracts the acceleration and maintains the actuator speed relatively constant. A unique directional control valve incorporates the feedback mechanism that functions regardless of the direction in which the actuator moves.
