  • Hydrostatic transmission
rdfs:comment
  • Hydrostatic transmissions do not make use of the hydrodynamic forces of the fluid flow. There is no solid coupling of the input and output. The transmission input drive is a central hydraulic pump and final drive unit(s) is/are a hydraulic motor, or hydraulic cylinder (see:swashplate. Both components can be placed physically far apart on the machine, being connected only by high pressure pipes or flexible hoses. Hydrostatic drive systems are used on excavators, lawn tractors, forklifts, winch drive systems, heavy lift equipment, and specialist agricultural machinery, etc. This arrangement for a motor-vehicle transmission was probably used on the Ferguson F-1 P99 racing car in about 1961.
