Abstract

A hydraulic system having an axial piston pump as a control pump which is regulated by a regulating device as a function of the demands with respect to volumetric flow and pressure of a load circuit supplied by it. On the suction side, the control pump is optionally provided with a partial amount of its maximum delivery volume by a feed pump, while the remaining part of the corresponding delivery quantity is drawn in directly from a storage container, bypassing the feed pump. Possibly impermissibly high vacuums on the suction side of the control pump are detected by a suction safety device which acts on the control pump via its regulating device so that the control pump delivers smaller quantities of hydraulic fluid unitl permissible operating conditions are reached.
