Abstract

A hydraulic system for a construction machine comprising plural hydraulic actuators (23-28) driven by fluid supplied from a pump (22), first and second flow control valves (29-34) for controlling flows of fluid supplied to the first and second actuators, and first and second distribution compensating valves (35-40) for controlling first differential pressure (.DELTA.P v1-.DELTA.P v6) produced between inlets and outlets of the first and second flow control valves. The first and second distribution compensating valves have respective drives (45-50, 35c-40c) for applying control forces (Fc1-Fc2) in accordance with the second differential pressure to the associated distribution compensating valves, to thereby set target values of the first differential pressures. The hydraulic system includes first means (59) for detecting the second differential pressure (.DELTA.P LS) from the discharge pressure (P s) of the pump (22) and the maximum load pressure (P amax) out of the first and second actuators; second means (61) for calculating individual values (Fc1-Fc6), as values of the control forces applied from the drives (45-50, 35C-40C) of the first and second distribution compensating valves …
