Abstract

A speed limiting hydraulic slide valve. The slide valve is provided with control pressure chambers at each end thereof. The slide is provided with a longitudinal passage at each end and this passage opens into the adjacent control pressure chamber. Each passage is normally closed by a check valve. Each longitudinal passage communicates with a peripheral passage on the valve of the slide by means of a radial passage. If the hydraulic actuator, such as a cylinder, begins to move too rapidly, the pressure in the radial passage will drop, and the pressure in the appropriate control pressure chamber will thereupon overcome the check valve in the passage which opens into such chamber, and this will cause the valve slide to move in a direction which will decelerate the action of the cylinder.
