Circuits for Closed-circuit Hydro-static Transmissions (HSTs)

In a closed-circuit hydrostatic transmission (HST) system, a hydraulic pump drives a hydraulic motor. In the closed-circuit HST system, the fluid discharged from the hydraulic motor outlet flows directly to the pump inlet, thus forming a power transmission loop. The transmission loop has a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side. The pressure on the high-pressure […]
