1. Open circuittransmission
• It is Fixed speed, non-reversible open circuit
transmission.
• An anti cavitations check valve is
supply the fluid to motor if pump
is stopped and hence prevents
the motor cavitations.
 If FDP change to VDP
The curves for this transmission with
variable displacement pump and fixed
déplacement Motors (know as
constant torque transmission).

If FDM changeto VDM
• It is called constant power transmission
• The motor output power is independent of the motor
displacement and constant pressure drop across the
motor.
• But motor torque is decrease
with increase of Dm
• Motor speed is decreases
increase of Dm
8.
Reversible open-loop transmission
•In this HST, direction of rotation of the hydraulic motor
is determined by the directional control valve.
• A cross line relief valve network is built into this circuit
to deal with the pressure surge which will occur if the
DCV is operated rapidly to reverse the motor drive.
• In any FDP or FDM, a FCV is used. If FCV is used then
system become hot . As excess fluid will have to
discharge across the PRV.
• If A and B are blocked than fluid will go through open
centre DCV.
9.
Closed-loop transmissions
• Forclosed loop HST system, a make up pump must be
used.
• Check valve Network is responsible for isolating the fluid
from low pressure to high pressure line.
• In non-reversing, closed-loop transmissions it may be
possible to use an elevated reservoir to supply make-up
oil so eliminating the necessity for a make-up pump and
associated circuitry.
• A check valve situated after the filter prevents any
possibility of the motor causing reverse flow through the
filter.
• A brake valve is shown to give controlled retardation of
the driven load and an anti-cavitation check valve is
placed across the motor
10.
Closed-loop reversible HSTwith scavenging circuit
• For hydrostatic braking, the cooling and filtering of
the fluid can be by a separate conditioning.
• In this circuit, RV1 = 1.5, RV2 = 1 bar.
• When the hydraulic motor is being driven the shuttle
valve .then Rv2 sets the boost pressure at the pump
and bleeds off excess oil from the circuit through the
cooler. This is known as 'scavenging' or flushing.
• RV3 is a motion control valve which functions both as
a cross-line relief valve and a brake valve.
 The chargepump is critical component of the
hydrostatic transmission. It is the heart of the
hydrostatic transmission, without the charge flow and
charge pressure, the transmission will cease to function.
 The charge pump provides several functions to
hydraulic circuit
1. The primary function of charge pump is to replenish the
fluid lost through leakages.
2. Provide flow, under pressure for maintaining back
pressure on pump, motor.
Charge pump sizing
19.
3. Provide fluidfor the servo piston valve on the system
having servo – controlled transmission.
4. Provides cooled, cleaned fluid for temperature control
and flushing
The pressure relief valves have a simple system which
allow or avoid the flow rate depending on the pressure
differences between both sides and the crack pressure.
• In the hydrostatic transmissions, the static pressure is
much bigger than the dynamic one because the speed of
the liquid is low. as small as the transmission as fluid
flow speed must be higher.

1) Pump leakage
PumpLeakage = actual capacity– Theoretical capacity
Pump Leakage = actual capacity– ηv × actual capacity
Pump Leakage = actual capacity (1- ηvp)
2. Motor leakage
Similarly, Motor Leakage = actual capacity (1- ηvm)
3. Servo control requirement
For most of the application with stroke time 1-3 second
21.
4. Loop flushing
Theamount of loop flushing will normally vary from
7 to 15 lpm depending on the charge pump displacement,
input speed, and relative setting between the pump and
motor charge relief valves. So take loop flushing is 13
lpm.
5. Total charge Flow required = Pump leakages + Motor
leakages + Servo control requirement + Loop flushing.
6. From Charge pump performance curve Find the Pressure
across charge pump. Again from Charge pump
performance curve Find Power requirement for charge
Pump.
Power = discharge × Pressure
2. Selection ofMotor:
Motor torque = (Required Thrust × Radius of wheel)/
(Gear reduction from motor to wheel)
Required Thrust = (Gross traction coefficient × Dynamic
Weight of Rear wheel)
Gross traction coefficient is found from brixius equation.
2.1. Maximum speed of motor
24.
2.2. Minimum speedof motor (at maximum torque
requirement)
2.3. Minimum torque
2.4. Displacement of motor.
• From motor chart characteristics select the
motor.
25.
3. Selection ofPump
For HST, Main Pump should be bi-directional
VDM.
3.1 Displacement of Pump
Dp × Np × ηvp × ηvm= Dm × Nm
From pump chart characteristic select the pump,
and Pressure across pump.

CONCLUSIONS
The hydrostatic transmissionsystem gives infinite no. of
gear and therefore hydrostatic transmission has the ability
to adjust engine speed and transmission gear ratio together
to operate at the point of maximum fuel efficiency for
given travel speed and power requirement
The hydrostatic transmission was found to be lesser in
weight as well as compact in size as compared to the
existing gear box.

PRESSURE-CONTROL VALVES
• Reliefvalve: The function of a relief valve is to
set the maximum pressure in a hydraulic system .
• Counterbalance valve: is to set a back pressure ,
the usual pressure setting is 1.3 times the load
induce pressure. Disadvantage of this valve is to
reduces the available force.
• Sequence valve : is to pass a signal when a
certain pressure has been reached .
• The principal feature of most pressure controls
valve is that the hydraulic forces are resisted by a
spring.
31.
 ln thepoppet type relief valve pressure at port P acts
on the exposed surface of the poppet to apply a force
which is resisted by the spring force.
 Relief valves of the ball or poppet type have a rapid
response to pressure surges. but the pressure flow
characteristic is not constant. But it damage the seat
so leakage is there.
• Guided piston relief valve is of much quieter
operation but is best suited for low pressure
application(up to 100 bar) under flow condition.
• The response time is still fast although slightly slower
than the direct poppet-type relief valve.
• The pressureoverride is the difference between the
cracking pressure or opening pressure and the pressure
drop across the valve when it is passing the maximum
rated flow at the same valve setting.
• The differential piston /poppet type relief valve is
suitable for pressures up to 350 bar.
• The pilot-operated relief valve is a two-stage valve
which gives good regulation of pressure over a wide
range of flow
35.
Differential poppet reliefvalve:
force to overcome spring =
pressure x (a - b).
Pilot-operated relief valve
Pressure-reducing valves
• Theseare used to limit the pressure in part of the circuit to a value lower than
that required in the rest of the circuit
• The pressure-reducing valve is a normally open valve which throttles or
closes to maintain constant pressure in the regulated line
• Direct-acting pressure-reducing valves are available for low flow rates up to
about 45 1/m and pressures up to 210 bar; they can be supplied with or
without a reverse-flow check valve.
• Pressure-reducing valves may be:
1. Non-relieving, i.e. they do not limit any pressure
increase downstream of the Valve set up by an
external force
2. Relieving type. This limits the pressure
downstream of the valve even when it is
increased by an external force.

Shuttle valves
• Theshuttle valve is a single-ball check valve with two
inputs A and B, and one output C.
• It is used for load-sensing and will accept a signal
from the higher of two pressure inputs
