Load sense is a super useful function in hydraulics, allowing a pump to dynamically adapt its flow output based on the needs of the rest of the system. But the schematic diagrams from load sense pump manufacturers can be a bit confusing, especially if you're not familiar with all the symbols. In this video, we'll look at a typical load sense pump schematic, studying the compensator section in particular detail. We'll also talk about the importance of having an adjustable flow restriction on the pump's outlet, and a few other important system details.
