ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for controlling the differential hydraulic fluid pressure (.DELTA.P) across a variable displacement hydraulic motor (10) wherein the displacement of the motor is adjusted as a function of the differential fluid pressure across the motor to maintain a near constant differential pressure across the motor when the motor is operating under an opposing load and in an intermediate region of its speed-load torque profile (FIG. 4). In order to minimize the flow requirements of the motor, the displacement of the motor is reduced to minimum when the motor is operating under an aiding load or no load. The method and apparatus are useful in an apparatus for mechanically actuating a device (22) with the variable displacement hydraulic motor (10) driven by hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic power supply (25) such as an aircraft power supply for operating components of the aircraft, e.g. rudder, wing, etc.
