Abstract
Abstract A hydraulic follow-up for use with a hydraulic system placed between a rotating input member and a rotating output member. The hydraulic system is a hydrostatic transmission for driving a tractor, and comprises a hydrostatic pump and a hydrostatic motor driven by the pump. When the hydrostatic pump is angularly shifted with respect to the input member, the shifting is controlled by the hydraulic follow-up, which also shifts the motor in relation to the output member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
Servo mechanism with hydraulic follow-up comprising: a follower valve having a source of high and low pressure; hydraulic mechanism connected thereto, causing the valve to take a position corresponding to the angular position of said mechanism and to provide an actual-speed output at a pressure between high and low corresponding to said position; a second valve (19) having a source of high (26) and low pressure; manual mechanism (18) connected to the second valve, causing said valve to take a position corresponding to the angular position of the manual mechanism and to provide a desired-speed output at a pressure between high and low corresponding to the just said position; and comparator means (31 or 80) connected in the outputs of said valves effective to control the positions of the hydraulic mechanism and follower valve to a point at which the outputs reach an actual-speed desired-speed pressure balance indicative of correspondence in Angular position between the manual mechanism and the hydraulic mechanism.
