Abstract:
A hydraulic drive with regeneration circuit comprising:a) a pump; b) at least one hydraulic actuator; c) a first valve means; and d) a rotary flow divider; wherein said first valve means comprises a first position and a second position; wherein when said first valve means is in said first position, said rotary flow divider is isolated from fluid flowing from said pump; and wherein when said first valve means is in said second position, fluid flow from the at least one hydraulic actuator flows through said first valve means and through the rotary flow divider, resulting in a portion of the fluid flow from the at least one hydraulic actuator through said rotary flow divider to be returned to a reservoir and another portion of the fluid flow from the at least one hydraulic actuator through the rotary flow divider to be compbined with fluid flow from said pump into said at least one hydraulic actuator.
