This paper is concerned with the leveling control and the design of opening areas of control valves for hydraulic shovels by the load sensing system. Firstly, the dynamics of hydraulic shovels with the load sensing system is modelled and the validity of the model is demonstrated by comparing the analytical results with the experimental ones. Secondly, the opening areas of control valves for the load sensing system are optimally designed with the criterion based on the leveling performance.
