The load-sensing hydraulic system is an energy saving hydraulic system which improves the efficiency of transmitting power from the pump to the load. However, its stability characteristics deteriorate critically due to the addition of the load-sensing mechanism, compared with those of the conventional system. In this paper, a non-linear mathematical model of the load-sensing hydraulic system is formulated, taking into consideration the dynamics of the load-sensing pump. Based upon linearization of this model for various operating conditions, the stability analysis has been made using the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion. The results of the theoretical stability analysis were assured through experiments. Both results show that stability is critical to the choice of system parameters such as the setting pressure of the pump compensator and the load inertia.
