Abstract

A torque control for a hydrostatic piston pump that provides for a servo piston rod that is connected to the swashplate of the pump and connected to a servo piston within a first cavity that receives compensation pressure that urges the servo piston toward the swashplate. The servo piston has a stem that extends into a bore and is in contact with the stem of a maximum displacement piston that extends into a second cavity that is acted upon by system pressure to urge the maximum displacement piston toward the swashplate. Additionally, within the second cavity is a set of Bellville washers that surround the stem of the maximum displacement piston to limit the movement of the maximum displacement piston toward the swashplate.
