Abstract
A hydraulic circuit for a so called feathering control of a variable displacement pump in which displacement of the variable displacement pump is controlled to a minimum when every actuator in a system is not in operation thereby keeping a power loss to a minimum. The hydraulic circuit includes a jet flow sensor for detecting a dynamic pressure of fluid. The jet flow sensor is disposed in a circuit for connecting a system pressure line to a reservoir and is adapted to convert static pressure of the fluid to dynamic pressure thereof. This detected dynamic pressure is introduced into a servo mechanism for the variable displacement pump for effecting feathering control.
