3. Parking brake
1) Cylinder block (111) is engaged with shaft (101) and spline.
2) And, the rotation in round direction of separator plate (743) is restricted by circular grooves
cut on the surface of the casing.
3) When friction plate (742) engaged with cylinder block (111) at the outside with the spline is
pressed against casing (301) by brake spring (712) through separator plate (743) and brake
piston (702), the frictional force is generated between friction plate (742) and casing (301),
and also separator plate (743) and brake piston (702).
4) This frictional force restricts the rotation of the shaft, resulting in the braking force.
5) On the other hand, after application of the release pressure to the oil chamber formed between
brake piston (702) and casing (301), if the oil pressure becomes higher than brake spring
(712) force, brake piston (702) moves and friction plate (742) separates from casing (301),
and finally the brake is released.

• Operation of shockless valve
This graph shows the relation between
the pressure on shockless valve and the
rising process. The actuation on each
part is described below.
a. Operation on the state of P = PS
Considering the state where the brake
pressure generates on port AM side,
the pressure at port AM is conducted
to chamber n through passage , axis
hole on seat (313), and passage m on
plunger (311).
If pressure P is over the specified
pressure of spring (321), then the spring
is pushed, and the plunger is moved to
left. Seat (313) also moves to left
deflecting spring (322) pushed by
plunger (311).
b. Operation on the sate of P < PS
The brake pressure may be decreased
by the stop of slewing (Y point), arriving
to the state P < PS, the plunger (311) is
moved to the right by the force of spring
(321), simultaneously the seat (313) is
also moved to right by the force of
spring (322), as the chamber P contains
damping actuations caused by (g), the
return of seat (313) is late comparing it
with that of plunger (311), and the seat
part t is left away. Then the pressure
oil flows in sequence such as
→ t → r → K proportionately to the
return of plunger, finally the passage
connecting to AM and BM ports is
formed.
As a result, the pressures at both AM
and BM ports are quickly equal, and
return to the state of Z point, and then
the hydraulic motor is protected from in
version caused by the confined
pressure at AM port.

1. Oil is delivered under pressure at inlet port.

2. Oil exerts a force on pistons, forcing them out of the cylinder block.

3. The piston thrust is transmitted to the angled swash plate causing rotation.

4. The pistons, shoe plate, and cylinder block rotate together. The
driveshaft is splined to the cylinder block.

5. The piston passes the inlet port, and begins to return into its bore
because of the swash plate angle. Exhaust oil is pushed into the

 BRAKE VALVE

Brake Valve Function

The Brake Valve controls the flow of oil into and out of the hydraulic travel motor in
the following conditions:

Brake Holding: in neutral position the brake valve function is to keep the hydraulic
motor from turning.

Motor Acceleration: when the brake valve is not in the neutral position the motor is
able to turn.

Stopping the motor: when brake valve is brought to neutral the flow of oil to the
motor is shut off and the motor is no longer able to turn.

Counter balancing: to slowly de-celerate the hydraulic motor that is rotating by

external forces applied to the motor, causing the motor to become a pump.

Three major components to safeguard the hydraulic motor:

Break Spool

Shifting of brake spool to allows the brake valve to:

a. Supply oil to the hydraulic motor
b. Shut off the flow of oil to the hydraulic motor
c. Restrict the flow of oil discharged to the hydraulic motor

This allows the hydraulic motor to:

a. Accelerate
b. Stop, hold
c. Counterbalance

Check Valve (built in the brake spool)

The check valve serves as an oil feeding path to the hydraulic motor, stops the oil
discharged from the hydraulic motor, acts as a suction (anti-cavitation) valve for
the hydraulic motor, and a holding valve.

Relief Valve (located in the hydraulic motor)

Each motor assembly has two relief valves which work with the brake valve to
protect the motor. When oil under pressure at the discharge path of the hydraulic
motor reaches a set point, the relief valve bypasses high pressure oil to either of
the low pressure paths to safeguard the circuit.

 BRAKE VALVE

Brake Valve (Stop Operation)

When the flow of oil to the brake valve is shut off, oil pressure in the pilot chambers on
both sides of the brake valve spool are equalized, causing brake spool (2) to return to its
neutral position by the action of return springs (4). The hydraulic tank will supply oil to both
ports VA and VB with the brake valve spool in neutral.

With brake valve spool in neutral, oil path MA→VA is shut off, and oil flow to port P (travel
motor parking brake) is shut off. The spring applied hydraulic release travel motor parking
brake mechanically stops the travel motor from turning. Movement of the excavator (inertia)
will attempt to rotate the hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor turned by inertia continues to
discharge oil from the hydraulic motor to port MB. The trapped oil at port MB will restrict the
movement of the hydraulic motor until the oil at port MB actuates the MB port relief valve.

 BRAKE VALVE

Brake Valve (Counterbalancing)

Counterbalancing action is required to keep a positive pressure at the inlet of

the hydraulic motor by restricting the oil discharged from the hydraulic motor.

Counterbalancing prevents over-speeding of the hydraulic motor, example;

The excavator is traveling downhill, the weight of the machine on an incline
removes the positive pressure at the inlet of the motor. The hydraulic motor is
in an over-speed or run-a-way condition.

Note: The hydraulic motor will loose the positive pressure at the inlet in
a slow turn.

To stop the hydraulic motor from cavitating, the brake valve spool will shift,
restricting the flow of oil from the hydraulic motor. Pressure in the pilot cham-
ber on the path MA→VA (inlet) drops, and brake valve spool (2) is pushed to
the right (restricted position) by the action of spring (4). As a result, pressure
at MB (outlet) increases, thus the hydraulic motor is subjected to a braking
action.

If the volume of oil supplied to hydraulic motor is reduced below the amount of
oil the hydraulic motor can displace, the pressure in the pilot chamber on the
VA (inlet) port drops, causing spool (2) to move right due to spring action on
the left hand side of the spool.

The result is that the braking action of the counterbalance valve is increased,
and the revolution of the hydraulic motor is regulated to a level equal to the oil
supply at path MA→VA (inlet).

To dampen the movement of brake spool (2), two restrictor’s (8) are built in
the pilot chamber of the brake valve assembly . This restrictor is located in
each of the brake valve caps to provide steady counterbalancing action.

6. Operation of travel motor

(1) Parking brake
1) When traveling (when brake is
released)
1. After pressure oil has been feed into
from brake valve, spool (123) of brake
valve in hydraulic motor section starts
operating, the passage to parking
brake opens, and the oil flows into
cylinder chamber (a) made up of
spindle (2) and piston (112).
2. When the oil pressure is increased
8 kgf/cm² or higher, the pressure rises
higher than the force of spring, and
moves piston (112) to rear flange (101)
side.
3. With movement of piston (112), the
pushing force to separator plate (116)
and friction plate (115) dies out, the
friction plate (115) which is placed in
cylinder block of hydraulic motor
section can be freely moved, and
braking force to cylinder block is
released.
2) When Stopping (when brake is
operated)
1. Pressure oil from brake valve is cut
off, and when the pressure in cylinder
chamber (a) is 8 kgf/cm² or lower,
piston (112) tends to return due to the
force of spring (113).
2. The piston (112) is pushed by the force
of spring (113), and pushes the
separator plate (116) and friction plate
(115) in free condition to spindle (2) on
reduction unit.
3. The frictional force caused by the
pushing force stops rotating force of
cylinder block (104), and transmits
braking torque (18.2 kgf·m) to
hydraulic motor shaft.
4. This braking torque stops rotation of
hydraulic motor.
5. In addition, the flow rate of oil is
regulated with appropriate oil passage,
enabling the smooth operation.

(2) Auto two (High/Low) speed change mechanism

1) At low speed
1. When the pilot pressure is not supplied through port (D), spool (163) is pushed up by
spring (166) force or the oil pressure through port (A) or (B), the pressure oil through port
(C) is cut, and the oil in P chamber flows into the drain (motor case) through spool (163).
2. Consequently, the tilting angle of swash plate (103) increases to the maximum, and the
motor speed slows down.

2) At high speed
1. When the pilot pressure (50 kgf/cm²) is supplied through port (D), spool (163) is pushed
down by spring (166) force or the oil pressure through port (A) or (B), the pressure oil
through port (C) is led into (P) chamber, and the piston (161) is pushed up to the position
where swash plate (103) is brought in contact with the face X and maintained.
2. Then the tilting angle of swash plate (103) is of the minimum, and the stroke capacity of

Dynamic Acera 01/02

Page 8-24
 HYDRAULIC MOTORS

3) Auto speed change from high speed to low speed

1. As the load rises while traveling at high speed, the quantity of oil pressure at (A) and (B) ports
is also raised, and if the pressure reaches 290 kgf/cm², the pressure rises higher than the
pilot pressure (50 kfg/cm²) at (D) port ;and spool (163) is pushed up, and the oil in P chamber
flows into the drain (motor case) through spool (163).
2. Then, swash plate (103) comes into contact with the face Y of spindle (2), the max. tilting
angle is maintained, and consequently the motor speed reduces.
