Hydraulic servocontroller for a hydrostatic transmission

摘要

A hydrostatic transmission having a variable displacement pump whose control element varies the transmission ratio and output direction of the transmission is controlled by a hydraulic servomechanism including a direction-reversing valve and a cylinder connected to this valve. A direction selector acts upon the valve and a mechanical or hydraulic locking mechanism is provided to prevent shifting of the valve until the control element of the pump has been restored to its neutral position before direction change.
