Insane Hydraulics
Bold and audacious blog about fluid power
The best way to find out how an unknown pump control works (when you don't have accsess to technical information) is to "gut" it, study in detail, follow the oil passages and come up with the schematics using your head and prior experience. This procedure can be applied to any unfamiliar component and is called back engineering (or reverse engineering). It is, by far, the best way to learn existing industrial designs and a great mind exercise. Here are some of my own "back-engineerings". Should you bump into a mistake, please let me know - I am doing my best to present the information as accurate as possible, but I am still only human...
