3. OPERATION
Travel motor consists of a hydraulic motor "Fixed parts" and a planetary gear speed reducer
"Rotating parts".
1) REDUCTION GEAR SECTION
(1) Function
unction
The speed reducer of travel motor is a simple planetary gear type with two stages. The high
output speed of the hydraulic motor is reduced to low speed with high torque.

(2) Operation
The S2 gear is attached to the hydraulic motor
shaft and the S2 output speed is reduced
between the gears (s2, b2, a2) as a first stage
a1 - a2
Rotating parts
speed reducer.
The reduced output speed of this first stage is
reduced again between the gears (s1, b1, a1) Fixed b1 b2
which are connected to the carrier 2 with the parts

spline.
This reduced output speed of the second stage
S1 Carrier 2
is transmitted to the body case "rotating parts" S2
through the inner gears (a1, a2) and drives the
machine.
The gear ratio of 2 stage simple planetary speed
reducer is calculated using the following formula.

2) HYDRAULIC MOTOR SECTION
(1) Function
This hydraulic motor is an axial piston type, and changes the hydraulic energy supplied from the
pump to the rotary motion.
(2) Structure

S2 gear is united motor shaft or

connected to motor shaft with spline

Through a hydraulic valve, the pressurized oil is supplied to the valve plate (5).
When the pressurized oil is supplied to the A port, this pressurized oil pushes the piston (6) in the
clylinder barrel (4). This pushing force is changed to the rotational power by the swash plate (7) and
transmitted to the shaft (3) which is connected to the cylinder barrel (4) with the spline. The return
flow from the cylinder port is going out through the B port of the valve plate (5). To reverse rotation,
pressurized oil is supplied to the B port and returning oil exits through the A port.

(3) 2 Speed motor operation
The swash plate, which has surface Ⅰ and Ⅱ in Swash plate Shoe Piston
the opposite side to the shoe sliding surface, is
supported by the 2 balls which are fixed to the Surface II
body 2. ɷ
Body 2
Since the balls are located in the eccentric
position, in the low speed range, the surface Ⅰis Ball
faced to the body 2 by the oil pressure in the
piston and the spring force in the cylinder barrel.
Spring
The swash plate angle is ɷ (Max. capacity).
When the pressurized oil is supplied to the (PP)
port, the two-speed spool moves to the high
position.
Surface I Cylinder barrel
And the pressurized oil of inlet is led to the Low speed
control chamber through the two-speed spool.
The control piston moves forward until the
surface Ⅱ of the swash plate is in contact with ɸ
the body 2, and the swash plate angle becomes
ɸ.
The capacity of the hydraulic motor is made
small.
The pressurized oil of the (PP) port is shut off
(or the engine is stopped), the two-speed spool
moves to the low position.
And the control chamber is led to the tank port Control chamber Pressure oil
through the two-speed spool and the swash Control piston

plate position comes to the low speed by the High speed

spring force.

3) HYDRAULIC VALVE SECTION
(1) Counter-balance valve
When the pressurized oil is supplied from the A port, the pressurized oil opens the check valve
(3) and flows into the hydraulic motor inlet A' port. At the same time, the pressurized oil goes
through the orifice C into the chamber D, pushes the spring (4) and moves the spool (2) to right.
Then the returned oil from the hydraulic motor flows into the B port, goes through area E and
drives the hydraulic motor. When the pressurized oil is supplied from the B port, the hydraulic
motor rotates in reverse.
Even the pressurized oil of the A port is shut off, the hydraulic motor tries to rotate by inertia force.
When the pressurized oil from the A port is shut off, the spool (2) tries to return to left by the
spring (4) force. At this time, the oil in the chamber D tries to go out to the A port through the
orifice C, but due to the throttle effect of orifice C, the spool (2) speed is reduced. With the orifice
and notches on the spool, the returned oil is controlled gradually and the hydraulic motor stops
smoothly.

4) PARKING BRAKE SECTION
(1) Structure
The parking brake fixes the output shaft of hydraulic motor mechanically while the travel motor is
stopped. And it is applied automatically in the following fashion.

When A and B ports are not pressurized, the

brake piston (1) is pressed in the direction
(shown as arrow) by the spring (2). Then the
disk plate (4) which is fixed to the cylinder barrel
(3) is held between the steel plate (6) which are
fixed to the body 2 (5) and the body 2 (5). As a
result, with the friction of these plates, the
cylinder barrel (3) and the hydraulic motor are
unable to rotate.

R27Z92TM10

When A or B ports are pressurized, the oil is

lead to chamber (7). Then the brake piston (1) is
moved to the direction (shown as arrow) against
the force of spring (2). As a result, the disk plate
(4) is released from the steel plate (6) and the
body 2 (5), and the cylinder barrel (3) can be
rotated.

(1) When installing the motor to the machine and/or attaching the sprocket to the motor, do not force
the sections and/or strike them with a heavy object as damage may result. The best method is to
use the mounting bolts as a guide and slowly slide it into place.
(2) Use the specified bolts (equivalent grade 12.9 or higher) for mounting the motor and the sprocket,
and tighten using the following torque.

Bolt size Torque

M12 9~11.5 kgfÂm (65.1~83.2 lbfÂft)

2) PIPING
(1) Pay attention to the rotating direction and piping.
(2) When shipped, rubber plugs (or steel plugs for drain ports) are attached to the piping ports. When
piping, pay attention as not to introduce dirt or welding scale into the ports.
(3) One of two drain ports is used as a drain line. Use the upper side port, and fill with 100 cm3 of hy-
draulic oil, then connect the piping.
(4) The permissible drain pressure is limited by the oil seal. Therefore, pay attention to the size of
drain piping so that the drain pressure does not exceed the limit especially in a low temperature
environment. The permissible drain pressure is 3 kgf/cm2 (42.7 psi) (rated) and 10 kgf/cm2 (142 psi)
(peak).
(5) Fine filtration prolongs the hydraulic system life and ensures high reliability. Install a 10μ filter, or
better in the circuit.

3) GEAR LUBRICATING OIL
(1) Use diesel engine oil SAE-30-CD or equivalent as gear lubricating oil.
(When shipped, Idemitsu Apoloil Diesel Motive S-330 is used.)
(2) Any recommended gear oil can be used, but drain old oil completely, and do not mix.
(3) When shipped, gear box is pre-filled. Take the following steps to refill. All plugs are sealed by O-
ring.
Η Remove the oil supply port plug.
② Fill the oil from the oil supply port up to the “LEVEL”.
③ Check the oil amount and install the oil supply port plug.

Tightening torque
Oil supply, discharge port plugs 4.69~5.20 kgfÂm (33.9~37.6 lbfÂft)
Level check port plug 1.22~1.84 kgfÂm (8.82~13.3 lbfÂft)

R27Z92TM13

※ Remove the oil supply port plug before discharge port plug, when remove both the oil supply port
plug and discharge port plug.
(4) Gear oil amount : 0.6 ℓ (0.16 U.S. gal)
(5) Gear oil change period
First change : 200 hours or 2 months
Second and after : 1000 hours or 1 year

4) GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
(1) Always pay attention to oil leaks and loose bolts, detect and correct these problems as soon as
possible to prevent damage to the motor or machine. Making a check sheet is recommended.
