hydraulic load sensing control

A load sensing circuit typically comprises a variable displacement pump, usually axial-piston design, fitted with
a load sensing controller, and a directional control valve with an integral load-signal gallery (Exhibit 1). The
load-signal gallery (LS, shown in red) is connected to the load-signal port (X) on the pump controller. The load-
signal gallery in the directional control valve connects the A and B ports of each of the control valve sections
through a series of shuttle valves. This ensures that the actuator with the highest load pressure is sensed and fed
back to the pump. For explanation of hydraulic symbols click here.
