a hydraulic system comprising a receiving body with electrohydraulic valve , with at least one hydraulic pump , and with channels for connecting the pump to at least one hydraulic load . a pulsation situation arises as a result of the delivery of a pressure medium by the pump and / or as a result of pressure medium being withdrawn by the load . at least one damping unit is provided , having a plurality of pulsation damping means such as , in particular , a damping chamber , and orifice . the hydraulic system provides a uniform and cost - effective solution for different operating situations and prevents a decrease in comfort . the damping unit has at least one switching means for adjusting the action of said damping unit to a varied pulsation situation by connecting or disconnecting one or more damping means .
