A control arrangement to supply-pressure medium to at least two hydraulic consumers having a variable-displacement pump controlled according to required flow and the setting of which can be changed by a, pump controller as a function of highest load pressure of the actuated hydraulic consumers; two adjustable meter-in variable restrictors, a first of which is arranged between a feed line, which leads from the variable-displacement pump, and a first hydraulic consumer, and the second of which is arranged between the feed line and a second hydraulic consumer; and two pressure compensators, a first of which is connected downstream of the first meter-in variable restrictor and the second of which is connected downstream of the second meter-in variable restrictor, and the control piston of which can be acted on in opening direction by the pressure downstream of the associated meter-in variable restrictor. To ensure in this type control arrangement that a brief excess quantity from the variable-displacement pump is not passed on to the hydraulic consumers, the control pistons of the pressure compensators can be acted on in closing direction by a control pressure which is present in a rear control space, is derived from the feed pressure prevailing in the feed line with aid of a valve device and changes with the feed pressure. There is also a pressure differential valve which, with small structure, allows a pressure at its outlet to follow, with a fixed pressure difference, a rising pressure at its inlet. Together with a restricted pressure relief of the outlet to the tank, this type pressure differential valve ensures in each case a fixed pressure difference between the outlet pressure and the inlet pressure. This valve is particularly suitable for use in the control arrangement.
