Hydraulic system

A hydraulic system having a pressure source, a pressure sink, a work motor, a main valve arranged between the pressure source and the pressure sink on the one hand and the work motor on the other hand and connected to the work motor by way of work connections, an input compensating valve located between the pressure source and main valve, and an additional outlet compensating valve located between the main valve and the pressure sink to control volume flow from the main valve to the pressure sink, in which at least one of the compensating valves is controlled by means of a load sensing signal deduced from a pressure in the work connections, the outlet compensating valve having a degree of opening controllable externally by a control arrangement, said control arrangement having at least one sensor for determining if load on the work motor is a positive or negative load, said control arrangement having means for controlling the load sensing signal for influencing the degree of opening of the outlet compensating valve depending on said positive or negative load.
