Control
Direct Displacement Control
The LDT21/24/32 features direct displacement control (DDC).The swashplate angle is set directly by a
control lever or linkage attached directly to the swashplate trunnion. Control lever movement changes
the speed and rotating direction of the motor by increasing or decreasing the swashplate angle.
LDT Control Handle Requirements
The minimum torque necessary to hold the swashplate at a zero angle will vary due to the influence of
pump operating conditions.
The control handle linkage / design provided by the customer is required to provide maximum angle
stops and should not rely on the internal hard stops in the LDT. This applies to both directions of the
trunnion rotation.
The LDT24 features two threaded (M10) holes near the trunnion. Contact Danfoss for proper application
guidelines if these holes are intended to be used for a neutral return mechanism.

Warning
With no external forces applied to the swashplate trunnion, internal hydraulic forces will not return the
swashplate to the neutral position under all conditions of operation.
