Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hydraulic system is disclosed. The hydraulic system may have a pump, a tank, a displacement actuator having first and second chambers, a regeneration valve, and a load-holding valve. The hydraulic system may also have a displacement control valve including a valve element, and a stationary cage portion at least partially forming a high-pressure passage fluidly connecting the pump and valve element, a low-pressure passage fluidly connecting the valve element and tank, a first displacement actuator passage fluidly connecting the valve element and first chamber, a second displacement actuator passage fluidly connecting the valve element and second chamber, a load-holding control passage fluidly connecting the valve element and load-holding valve, and a regeneration control passage fluidly connecting the valve element and regeneration valve. The displacement control valve may also include a movable cage portion that is movable to selectively restrict fluid flow through only the first and second displacement actuator passages.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A displacement control valve, comprising: a valve element; a stationary cage portion surrounding the valve element and at least partially forming: a high-pressure passage; a low-pressure passage; a first displacement actuator passage; a second displacement actuator passage; and at least one control valve passage; and a movable cage portion disposed proximate the stationary cage portion and being movable to selectively restrict only the first a…
