TORQUE-CONTROL WITH OVERSPEED REGULATION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING A HYDROSTATIC DRIVE

摘要

TORQUE-CONTROL WITH OVERSPEED REGULATION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING A HYDROSTATIC DRIVE of the Invention The present invention is directed to a torque control with overspeed regulation and a method of controlling a hydrostatic drive for use in an auxiliary wheel drive of a vehicle which had both primary driven wheels and auxiliary driven wheels. The torque control permits maximum torque drive of the auxiliary wheels when the primary driven wheels slip but yet prevents overspeed operation of the auxiliary wheels. Preferrably the torque control with overspeed regulation has both an aggressive control and a sensitivity control so that the auxiliary wheel drive can be selectively modulated with respect to the primary wheel drive.
