Abstract
A system for detecting when the pressure on a bi-directional hydraulic device, such as a motor or a pump, exceeds a predetermined pressure. The device is of the type having two meshing gears mounted to rotate in a housing. Fluid inlet and outlet ports are located in the housing on opposite sides of the meshing gear teeth. A pilot port is located in the housing to detect the fluid pressure between one gear and the housing at a location isolated from the inlet and outlet ports. The sensed pressure is a function of the maximum pressure at the inlet and outlet ports.
