Abstract
A hydrostatic transmission pressure monitoring system includes a hydrostatic transmission and a pressure sensor data source. The hydrostatic transmission includes, in turn, a transmission casing, a pivoting yoke assembly rotatably mounted in the transmission casing, a hydrostatic pump-motor arrangement containing a hydraulic pump-motor circuit at least partially formed in the pivoting yoke assembly, and a pressure scaling device fluidly coupled to the hydraulic pump-motor circuit. The pressure scaling device is configured to generate a pressure-scaled output signal substantially proportional to a peak circuit pressure within the hydraulic pump-motor circuit. The pressure sensor data source is fluidly coupled to the pressure scaling device and is configured to generate pressure sensor data indicative of the pressure-scaled output signal.
