Abstract
A hydraulic system manifold having a body, a counterbalancer in the body and a flow controller in the body is disclosed. The body has first and second pump ports, first and second cylinder ports, first and second compensator ports and first and second supply conduits in communication with the first and second pump ports, the counterbalancer and the flow controller. The counterbalancer is in communication with the first and second supply conduits and the cylinder ports, to communicate hydraulic fluid between the first and second supply conduits and the first and second cylinder ports while counterbalancing hydraulic fluid pressure in the first and second supply conduits. The flow controller is in communication with the first and second supply conduits and the compensator ports, to control the flow of hydraulic fluid between the compensator ports and the first and second supply conduits to supply and store hydraulic fluid in a volumetric compensator in communication with the compensator ports.
