When is a hydrostatic drive used in a hydraulic system?
Hydrostatic drives are used in a variety of applications throughout all types of industries. They are sometimes referred to as hydrostatic transmissions. Anytime one or more hydraulic motors need to be driven at variable speeds with bi-directional capability, a hydrostatic drive is often used.
How is the swashplate moved in a hydrostatic system?
The swashplate is moved by two internal cylinders, which are controlled by a separate valve or manual lever. To drive the hydraulic motor forward (Figure 3), the bottom cylinder extends to angle the swashplate and deliver fluid out the “A” port. Oil flow is then directed to the motor for rotating the shaft.
How can I troubleshoot my hydrostatic drive system?
To effectively troubleshoot a hydrostatic drive, some preliminary checks should be made when the system is operating properly in order to establish a reference. Record the charge pump relief valve setting. Record the shuttle relief valve setting. Record the maximum operating pressure.
Where do you put a hydrostatic transaxle in a car?
They are usually bolted directly to a mechanical differential axle to form a hydrostatic transaxle. Close-coupled transmissions are typically found in light-duty applications, where tight space constraints require compact units, while high-volume production mandates easy assembly.

How is the speed of the wheels controlled in a hydrostatic transmission?
The pressure and amount of fluid sent to the drive motor dictates the speed at which the wheels move. This is controlled by a swashplate, which is operated by a hand lever on the equipment. When the swashplate is vertical, no fluid is sent to the motor, and it is not operated.
