Abstract
A pressure fluid operated feed drive system for a movable member, and particularly for a slide of a machine tool, the system having a source of fluid pressure feeding a pair of interconnected piston and cylinder units connected between the member and a fixed support. The piston rod side areas of the pistons are arranged in effective opposition and valve means are provided to permit pressure fluid to be supplied selectively to the units to enable the member to be moved alternatively by a force derived from differing piston areas.
