Abstract
A variable displacement rotary pump includes a tiltable cam plate which varies the pump displacement as a function of the fluid pressure in a control chamber. The pump pumps fluid to a fluid motor via an orifice in an outlet passage. A spool valve meters fluid to the control chamber in response to the differential pressure across the orifice. Pressure on one side of the orifice acts upon the spool valve in a feedback chamber remote from the outlet passage. The orifice is defined by an annular space between the wall of the outlet passage and neck portion of the spool valve. A feedback passage in the spool valve communicates fluid pressure from the one side of the orifice to the feedback chamber. A leakage flow path extends through a bearing to provide for automatic bearing lubrication.
