Abstract

A hydraulic drive system having a swing control system, includes a pump control unit for controlling a pump delivery rate such that a pump delivery pressure is held a predetermined value higher than a maximum load pressure among a plurality of actuators. Pressure compensating valves are each constructed to set, as a target compensation differential pressure, a differential pressure between a delivery pressure of a hydraulic pump and a maximum load pressure among the actuators. A pressure compensating valve for a swing section is given such a load dependent characteristic that when the load pressure rises, the target compensation differential pressure is reduced, the load dependent characteristic being set so as to provide a flow rate characteristic simulating constant-horsepower control of a swing motor.
