Abstract

A non-feedback proportional system is provided to achieve desired operating characteristics which will allow the control of a hydrostatic transmission to closely approximate the control performance of a displacement feedback control system by establishing certain parameters relating to (1) the servo spring rate; (2) the valve plate index; (3) valve plate crossport/trap; (4) valve plate porting geometry; (5) swashplate offset; and (6) piston bore volume.
