Abstract

Hydraulic actuators are fed by a single flow-rate generator, each being connected to it through a proportional directional valve, the unit including at least one auxiliary valve fed by the flow-rate generator and producing a pressure which is normally equal to a regulation pressure increased by a constant, and in each proportional directional valve an actuating device causes the compensating spool to respond to the pressure produced by the auxiliary valve.
