Abstract

A control device for connection between a hydropump and a hydromotor of a hydraulic system, to provide a control pressure for regulating operation of the system, has a valve housing accommodating a displaceable valve member formed to provide a throttling passageway between an inlet and a main outlet of the housing. Fluid flow through the throttle tends to move the valve member to open a connection between the inlet and a control pressure outlet of the housing, against the action of a resilient biasing arrangement and a force produced on the member in dependence upon the control pressure itself. The action of the biasing arrangement, however, is variable, enabling the device to be designed in accordance with a desired fluid-pressure/flow rate relationship.
