ABSTRACT:
A pump displacement control for a variable displacement pump includes a torque control valve disposed between a variable torque limiter and a force applying device disposed in axial alignment within a common bore. A sleeve and a valve spool are movable relative to each other to establish a first condition communicating discharge pressure into an actuator chamber to move a swashplate toward a minimum displacement position against the bias of a spring or a second condition communicating the actuating chamber with an exhaust passage to allow the spring to move the swashplate toward its maximum displacement position. A torque control piston disposed between opposing springs resiliently bias the valve spool in a direction to establish the second condition when control fluid is directed into a control chamber. Pump discharge pressure communicated into a pressure chamber exerts a force against the valve spool proportional to the discharge pressure so that the valve spool moves in a second direction to establish the first condition when the control force exceeds the biasing force exerted by the torque limiter.
