Abstract
A tandem fixed displacement pump circuit with torque control includes first and second pumps that draw fluid from a reservoir to supply respective load circuits, pressure relief valves for each of the load circuits, and a pilot operated sequence valve that monitors the pressure for each of the circuits and reduces the pressure of one of the circuits as the pressure in the other circuit rises. The sequence valve modulates to control the pressure in the secondary priority circuit so that a predetermined input torque value is not exceeded.
