Abstract

Hydraulic actuators are fed by a single flow-rate generator, each being connected to it through a proportional directional valve, the unit including a device for detecting the highest of the pressures prevailing upstream of the throttle provided by a controlled spool in the respective proportional directional valves, and, in each of these an actuation device to cause the compensating spool to respond to the highest of the upstream pressures thus detected.
