- the pump output flow rate (Q) required by the system is produced from the hydraulic pump (3.0) depending on the LS load pressure in proportion to the joystick movement.
- Said first pressure compensator tilting/lowering proportional directional valve (OR1) (2.1 ), second pressure compensator lifting proportional directional valve (OR2) (2.2), third proportional throttle valve (OR3) (2.9) selections can be made as a hydraulic pilot actuated or electro-hydraulic actuated valve.

- Figure-2 shows a sample hydraulic system circuit diagram for wheel loader, backhoe-loader, wheel excavator applications, and figure-3 for crawler excavator applications.
- the hydraulic pump (3.0) can be selected with constant or variable flow (load-sensing or electronic flow control), hydraulic pump (3.0) can be driven by diesel or electric motor (M).
- the flow rate required by the system is generated from the pump by transmitting a signal to the pump over the LS line depending on the LS load pressure in proportion to the joystick movement in all hydraulic pump (3.0) applications.
- MA pressure sensor (2.12), MB pressure sensor (2.13) and MP pressure sensor (2.14) are continuously read by the software and control the pump output flow (Q) by means of smart algorithms and smart algorithm software provides serious advantages in fuel consumption. Different AP values can be adjusted through the software in different operating periods.
- the flow rate required by the user is controlled by sending the user's surplus hydraulic pump (3.0) flow to the tank at the value of user pressure + spring resistance over the hydraulic LS signal transmitted to the compensator with constant pressure adjustment in the safety block (1.0).
- the first tilting/lowering proportional directional valve (OR1 ) (2.1), second pressure compensator lifting proportional directional valve (OR2) (2.2), third proportional throttle valve (OR3) (2.9) are in closed position.
- the first pressure compensator lifting proportional direction valve (OR1) (2.1 ) and the second pressure compensator lowering proportional direction valve (OR2) (2.2) do not transmit flow from the hydraulic pump (3.0) to the cylinder (5.0) when the joystick is not used, at the same time LS lines are also kept open to the tank.
- tilting/lowering cylinder (5.0) When the tilting/lowering cylinder (5.0) is in the tilting/lowering period (x), tilting/lowering can be performed by stimulating the third proportional throttle valve (OR3) (2.9). Regeneration is provided in the cylinder (5.0) by means of the constant pressure adjustable compensator (2.10) and the fourth check valve (2.8).

- hydraulic pump (3.0) by obtaining the flow rate required for lifting the machine from the ground/excavation depending on user's tilting/lowering cylinder (5.0) diameter depending on joystick movement.
- a minimum flow rate of the hydraulic pump (3.0) is required due to the potential energy in the cylinders (5.0) during tilting. For this reason, operation with low pressure losses is provided at variable diesel speeds.
- the MA pressure sensor (2.12) used in the MA line remains at a pressure of 50 bar and above due to the weight effect on the piston side of the cylinder (5.0), when the tilting/lowering cylinder (5.0) presses to ground level, pressure in the MA line drops below 50 bar, the hydraulic pump (3.0) flow rate is transmitted to the system in proportion to the lowering speed with the joystick movement by stimulating the first pressure compensator tilting proportional directional control valve (OR1) (2.1).
- the hydraulic pump (3.0) produces a minimum pressure and pump output flow (Q) during the lowering process of the cylinder (5.0), if the joystick is still pulled and the MA pressure sensor (2.12) is below 50 bar, the machine is forced to be lifted from the ground in proportion to the joystick movement by stimulating the first pressure compensator lowering proportional directional valve (OR1) (2.1 ). While it is in lifting the machine from the ground/in excavation position, the oil returning from the cylinder (5.0) returns to the tank at low pressure over the compensator (2.10) and the second counterbalance valve (2.6). Therefore, power drawing from the system is also minimized since the hydraulic pump (3.0) will remain at the minimum flow rate and pressure value until the machine moves to the lifting force from the ground in the tilting period.
- the tilting position of the steering wheel and the tilting cylinder during loading is a period often used together by the operator. While the vehicle is loading, the machine is approaching and moving away from the vehicle together with the steering wheel, at the same time, the bucket tilting process is performed by the operator.
- the hydraulic pump (3.0) flow is not required due to the potential energy of the attachment weight in tilting.
- Warning of the third proportional throttle valve (2.9) and interruption of warning of the first pressure compensator lowering proportional directional valve (OR1 ) (2.1) is carried out with the information received from the MA pressure sensor (2.12) on the MA line. It is sufficient for the hydraulic pump (3.0) to pump oil as much as the steering wheel requires. While the joystick of the tilting cylinder (5.0) is pulled, The hydraulic pump (3.0) draws power from the system only in proportion to the steering flow rate and pressure, rather than the total flow of the user + steering requirement.
- Lifting period (y) of the tilting/lowering cylinder (5.0) is performed by giving a warning to the second pressure compensator lifting proportional directional valve (OR2) (2.2).
- Calibration of the minimum and maximum speed of the cylinder (5.0) in the lifting period (y) is made by the hydraulic pump (3.0) by pumping the required flow to the system after the second pressure compensator proportional lifting directional valve (OR2) (2.2) is stimulated in proportion to the joystick movement.
- the flow of the cylinder (5.0) returned by the piston returns to the tank over the first counter balance valve (2.5).
- the reduction in fuel consumption and increase in efficiency can be carried to higher levels by means of using smart algorithm software by reading the MA pressure sensor (2.12), MB pressure sensor (2.13) and MP pressure sensor (2.14) installed on the MA, MB, MP lines.
- flow rate control in lowering cylinder (5.0) with first pressure compensator lowering proportional directional control valve (OR1) (2.1), Flow control and regeneration in idle movements at the cylinder outlet with the third proportional throttle (OR3) (2.9), the fourth check valve (2.8) and the compensator (2.10), transition movements to pressure can be provided during the excavation, by automatically cancelling the regeneration depending on the pressure.
