3.3.1 LS0 function
Characteristic
The dynamic characteristics of the control system of variable axial piston pumps can be further improved by load
sensing systems, such as the LS0DA regulator. The LS0 function is designed as a so-called load pressure reporting
system that adapts the volume flow to the current requirements of one or more consumers. It reduces loss of per-
formance compared to regulator functions that convey at maximum volume with lower required volume flow.
The pressure differential Δp between the highest LS pressure in the system (controlled via shuttle valves for multiple
consumers) and the high pressure pHD is compared at an external adjustable measuring orifice and kept in balance
by the pressure compensator (LS axis), which adjust to the demand from the consumers. The LS pressure depends
on the spring force and can therefore be adjusted.
If there is no demand from consumers, the axial piston unit adjusts in direction V
g
min,
until the value is equal to the
set LS pressure. Δp = approx. 14-25 bar, depending on requirement.
If the demand from consumers increases (rising Δp at the orifice), the axial piston unit adjusts in direction V
g
max,
until the working pressure pHD is equal to the sum of the demand-dependent LS pressure + Δp.
