Abstract
Keywords: compact loader, hydrostatic transmission, fuel consumption
The basic demand in design process of earth moving machines is in achievement of the functional requirements. The following demand is to make it safe and everlasting. The last, but not less important features are market competitiveness and environmental sustainability.
The presented analysis confirms the abovementioned demands by illustrating the small compact loader hydrostatic transmission.
Special emphasis is put on energy saving i.e. minimum fuel consumption of diesel engine as driver for hydrostatic pump. An introduction on how the choice of hydro motor influences the input power and maximum pressure that system needs has been made as well.
