Abstract (en)

A hydraulic fluid system comprising a fluid source, a plurality of hydraulic motors, and a plurality of control valves communicating with said source. Each valve has a neutral position and is selectively movable from its neutral position for controlling flow to a respective hydraulic motor. Means for moving a valve from its neutral position comprise means for communicating a pilot fluid flow from the source to one side of the valve to establish a predetermined differential pressure force on the valve. A fluid logic circuit provides a load sense pressure signal proportional to the highest load on a motor in the system, and the load sense pressure signal is continuously applied to both sides of each of the control valves so that the predetermined differential pressure applied to a valve is essentially unaffected by changes in the load sense pressure signal.
