Front

What is a Dual-Path Hydrostatic Transmission (HST)?

Back

A system that uses two separate paths for hydraulic fluid to control the movement and speed of machinery.

Front

How many pumps and motors are typically used for the left side of a Dual-Path HST?

Back

One pump and motor.

Front

What is the effect of reversed flow in a hydrostatic drive?

Back

It reverses the machine's direction.

Front

What happens to the speed of a hydrostatic drive when the flow increases?

Back

Speed increases.

Front

What is a torque converter?

Back

A type of hydrodynamic drive commonly used in mobile equipment to transfer power.

Front

What is the function of inching valves in an HST?

Back

To allow for fine control of speed and movement in hydraulic systems.

Front

What is the role of pressure-release solenoids in a hydrostatic drive?

Back

To control the release of pressure in the hydraulic system, ensuring safe operation.

Front

What is a fixed motor in the context of hydrostatic drives?

Back

A motor that does not vary its displacement and is not typically used in HST systems.

Front

What is the primary purpose of a hydrostatic drive?

Back

To provide smooth and variable speed control in machinery.

Front

How does increasing flow affect the speed of a hydrostatic drive?

Back

Increasing flow results in increased speed.
