Abstract

A variable displacement bent axis hydraulic unit includes a control mechanism having a control housing with a displacement feedback sleeve and spool connected by a spring. A computer controls a proportional solenoid fluid valve that is in operative fluid engagement with the end of the spool opposite its spring connection with the displacement feedback sleeve. The displacement feedback sleeve is urged by the spring into engagement with a cam member on the yoke of the bent axis unit.
