Abstract

A hydraulic drive system includes a pump control unit 18 for controlling a pump delivery rate such that a pump delivery pressure is held at a predetermined value higher than a maximum load pressure among actuators 2-6. Pressure compensating valves 12-16 are each constructed to set, as a target compensation differential pressure, a differential pressure between the delivery pressure of a hydraulic pump 1 and the maximum load pressure among the actuators 2-6. The pressure compensating valve 12 is given such a load dependent characteristic that the target compensation differential pressure is reduced when a load pressure rises. A lower limit setting spring 55 for limiting the target compensation differential pressure from becoming smaller than a predetermined value is provided in the pressure compensating valve 12 for the swing section.
