Abstract

A device for controlling a hydrostatic drive (1) having a resonator (2) which is connected on the one hand to the hydrostatic drive (1) and on the other hand to a pressurized-fluid supply line (4) and to a return line (5), and having a periodically actuatable switch valve (3) which connects the resonator (2) alternately with the pressurized-fluid supply line (4) and the return line (5). In order to assure advantageous control conditions, the resonator (2) has at least one pressure chamber (6) with a movable, oscillatable chamber limitation (7) for changing the chamber volume movable chamber limitation (7) form a part of a single-mass oscillator comprising mass and spring (10). The pressure chamber (6) which can be connected alternately with the pressurized-fluid supply line (4), the return line (5) and the hydrostatic drive (1) can be acted on via the switch valve (3) with a switch frequency which lies in the supraresonance region of the single-mass oscillator.
