Load Sense

Greater System Efficiency, Reduced Parasitic

Traditional Ultronics

• Mechanical shuttle / check valves and orifices

• Electronic Load Sense• Load sense pressures

communicated via deterministic CAN bus

• Margins are software configurable

• Does not stroke pump if pressure is not required, unlike traditional systems

17 17

Flow Share

• Mechanical compensation• Pre-compensated

• Low load gets flow

Or (not both)

• Post-compensated• Flow reduced ratiometrically

based on load

• Software configurable• Ratio

or

• Cascading

or

• Uniform

Multiple Flow Share Options to Meet Your Application Needs
