2. FUNCTION
1) MAIN PUMP
The pumps may classified roughly into the rotary group performing a rotary motion and working as
the major part of the whole pump function: the swash plate group that varies the delivery rates: and
the valve cover group that changes over oil suction and discharge.

(1) Rotary group


The rotary group consists of drive shaft
(F)(111), cylinder block (141), piston
shoes (151,152), set plate (153), spherical
bush (156), and cylinder spring (157).
The drive shaft is supported by bearing 124
313
(123,124) at its both ends. 141
157
The shoe is caulked to the piston to from 156
153
a spherical coupling. It has a pocket to 211
relieve thrust force generated by loading 151
pressure and the take hydraulic balance 111
152
so that it slides lightly over the shoe plate
(211). The sub group composed by a
piston and a shoe is pressed against the 123
shoe plate by the action of the cylinder
spring via a retainer and a spherical bush.
Similarly, the cylinder block is pressed
against valve plate (313) by the action of
the cylinder spring. 29092MP06

548
(2) Swash plate group
The swash plate group consists of swash 214 531
plate (212), shoe plate (211), swash plate
support (251), tilting bush (214), tilting pin 251 212
(531) and servo piston (532). 211
The swash plate is a cylindrical part
formed on the opposite side of the sliding 532
surface of the shoe and is supported by
the swash support.
If the servo piston moves to the right and 29092MP07

left as hydraulic force controlled by the


α
regulator is admitted to hydraulic chamber
located on both sides of the servo piston,
the swash plate slides over the swash
plate support via the spherical part of the α
tilting pin to change the tilting angle (α)

2-7

2-7
(3) Valve block group
The valve block group consists of valve
block (312), valve plate (313) and valve
plate pin (885).
The valve plate having two melon-shaped
ports is fixed to the valve block and feeds
and collects oil to and from the cylinder 312
block.
The oil changed over by the valve plate is 313
connected to an external pipeline by way
of the valve block.
885
Now, if the drive shaft is driven by a prime
mover (electric motor, engine, etc), it
rotates the cylinder block via a spline
linkage at the same time. If the swash 29092MP08

plate is tilted as in Fig (previous page) the


pistons arranged in the cylinder block
make a reciprocating motion with respect
to the cylinder block, while they revolve
with the cylinder block.
If you pay attention to a single piston, it
performs a motion away from the valve
plate (oil sucking process) within 180
degrees, and makes a motion towards the
valve plate (or oil discharging process) in
the rest of 180 degrees. When the swash
plate has a tilting angle of zero, the piston
makes no stroke and discharges no oil.

2-8
2) REGULATOR
Regulator consists of the negative flow control, total horse power control and power shift control
function.

(1) Negative flow control


By changing the pilot pressure Pi, the
pump tilting angle (delivery flow) is
regulated arbitrarily, as shown in the
figure.
This regulator is of the negative flow

Delivery flow, Q
control in which the delivery flow Q
decreases as the pilot pressure Pi rises.
With this mechanism, when the pilot
pressure corresponding to the flow
required for the work is commanded, the
pump discharges the required flow only,
and so it does not consume the power Pilot pressure, Pi
uselessly.

As the pilot pressure Pi rises, the pilot piston (643) moves to the right to a position where the
force of the pilot spring (646) balances with the hydraulic force.
The groove (A) in the pilot piston is fitted with the pin (875) that is fixed to lever 2 (613).
Therefore, when the pilot piston moves, lever 2 rotates around the fulcrum of point B [Fixed by
the fulcrum plug (614) and pin (875)]. Since the large hole section (C) of lever 2 contains a
protruding pin (897) fixed to the feedback lever (611), the pin (897) moves to the right as lever 2
rotates. Since the opposing-flat section (D) of the feedback lever is fitted with the pin (548) fixed
by the tilting pin (531) that swings the swash plate, the feedback lever rotates around the fulcrum
of point D, as the pin (897) moves.
Since the feedback lever is connected with the spool (652) via the pin (874), the spool moves to
the right.
The movement of the spool causes the delivery pressure P1 to connect to port CL through the
spool and to be admitted to the large diameter section of the servo piston. The delivery
pressure P1 that is constantly admitted to the small diameter section of the servo piston moves
the servo piston to the right due to the area difference, resulting in decrease of the tilting angle.
When the servo piston moves to the right, point D also moves to the right. The spool is fitted
with the return spring (654) and is tensioned to the left at all times, and so the pin (897) is
pressed against the large hole section (C) of lever 2.
Therefore, as point D moves, the feedback lever rotates around the fulcrum of point C, and the
spool is shifted to the left. This causes the opening between the sleeve (651) and spool (652) to
close slowly, and the servo piston comes to a complete stop when it closes completely.

As the pilot pressure Pi decreases, the pilot piston (643) moves to the left by the action of the
pilot spring (646) and causes lever 2 (613) to rotate around the fulcrum of point B. Since the pin
(897) is pressed against the large hole section (C) of lever 2 by the action of the return spring
(654) via the spool (652), pin (874), and feedback lever (611), the feedback lever rotates around
the fulcrum of point D as lever 2 rotates, and shifts the spool to the left. Port CL opens a way to
the tank port as the spool moves. This deprives the large diameter section of the servo piston of
pressure, and shifts the servo piston to the left by the discharge pressure P1 in the small
diameter section, resulting in an increase in the flow rate.
As the servo piston moves, point D also moves to the left, the feedback lever rotates around the
fulcrum of point C, and the spool moves to the right till the opening between the spool and sleeve
is closed.

③ Adjustment of flow control characteristic
The flow control characteristic can be
adjusted with the adjusting screw.
Adjust it by loosening the hexagon nut 801
(801) and by tightening (or loosening) 924
the hexagonal socket head screw (924).
Tightening the screw shifts the control
chart to the right as shown in the figure.

(2) Total horsepower control
The regulator decreases the pump tilting
angle (delivery flow) automatically to limit
the input torque within a certain value with

Delivery flow, Q
a rise in the delivery pressure P1 of the
self pump and the delivery pressure P2 of
the companion pump.
(The input horsepower is constant when
the speed is constant.)
Since the regulator is of the simultaneous
Delivery pressure, (P1+P2)
total horsepower type that operates by the
sum of load pressures of the two pumps
in the tandem double-pump system, the
prime mover is automatically prevented
from being overloaded, irrespective of the
load condition of the two pumps, when
horsepower control is under way.
Since this regulator is of the simultaneous
total horsepower type, it controls the tilting
angles (displacement volumes) of the two
pumps to the same value as represented
by the following equation :
Tin = P1×q / 2 π + P2×q / 2 π
= (P1+P2)×q / 2 π
The horsepower control function is the
same as the flow control function and is
summarized in the following. (for detailed
behaviors of respective parts, refer to the
section of flow control).

When the self pump delivery pressure P1 or the companion pump delivery pressure P2 rises, it
acts on the stepped part of the compensating piston (621). It presses the compensating rod
(623) to the right till the force of the outer spring (625) and inner spring (626) balances with the
hydraulic force. The movement of the compensating rod is transmitted to lever 1 (612) via pin
(875).
Lever 1 rotates around the pin (875) (E) fixed to the casing (601).
Since the large hole section (F) of lever 1 contains a protruding pin (897) fixed to the feedback
lever (611), the feedback lever rotates around the fulcrum of point D as lever 1 rotates, and then
the spool(652) is shifted to the right. As the spool moves, the delivery pressure P1 is admitted to
the large diameter section of the servo piston via port CL, causes the servo piston move to the
right, reduces the pump delivery, flow rate, and prevents the prime mover from being overloaded.
The movement of the servo piston is transmitted to the feedback lever via point D. Then the
feedback lever rotates around the fulcrum of point F and the spool is shifted to the left. The
spool moves till the opening between the spool (652) and sleeve (651) is closed.

As the self pump delivery pressure P1 or the companion pump delivery pressure P2 decreases,
the compensating rod (623) is pushed back by the action of the springs (625 & 626) to rotate
lever 1 (612) around point E. Rotating of lever 1 causes the feedback lever (611) to rotate
around the fulcrum of point D and then the spool (652) to move to the left. As a result, port CL
opens a way to the tank port.
This causes the servo piston to move to the left and the pump's delivery rate to increase.
The movement of the servo piston is transmitted to the spool by the action of the feedback
mechanism to move it till the opening between the spool and sleeve is closed.

2-15
③ Low tilting angle (low flow) command preferential function
As mentioned above, flow control and horsepower control tilting angle commands are transmitted
to the feedback lever and spool via the large-hole sections (C & F) of levers 1 and 2. However,
since sections C and F have the pins (Ø4) protruding from the large hole (Ø8), only the lever
lessening the tilting angle contacts the pin (897) ; the hole (Ø8) in the lever of a larger tilting
angle command is freed without contacting the pin (897). Such a mechanical selection method
permits preference of the lower tilting angle command of the flow control and horsepower control.
④ Adjustment of input horsepower
Since the regulator is of total cumulative horsepower type, adjust the adjusting screws of both the
front and rear pumps, when changing the horsepower set values. The pressure change values
by adjustment are based on two pumps pressurized at the same time, and the values will be
doubled when only one pump is loaded.

a. Adjustment of outer spring


Adjust it by loosening the hexagon nut
625 626 630 628
(630) and by tightening (or loosening)
the adjusting screw C (628). Tightening
the screw shifts the control chart to the 802

right and increases the input horsepower


as shown in the figure. Since turning
the adjusting screw C by N turns
changes the setting of the inner spring
(626), return the adjusting screw QI
627
(627) by N×A turns at first. (A=1.59)

section of each pump regulator through the
pump's internal path to shift it to the same set
horsepower level. Delivery pressure, (P1+P2)
This function permits arbitrary setting of the
pump output power, thereby providing the optimum power level according to the operating
condition.
The power shift pressure Pf controls the set horsepower of the pump to a desired level, as shown
in the figure.
As the power shift pressure Pf rises, the compensating rod (623) moves to the right via the pin
(898) and compensating piston (621).
This decreases the pump tilting angle and then the set horsepower in the same way as explained
in the overload preventive function of the horsepower control. On the contrary, the set
horsepower rises as the power shift pressure Pf falls.

① Adjustment of maximum flow
Adjust it by loosening the hexagon nut 954

Option flow summation function, bypass cut-off 2 spool
During the 2-way option operation, the pilot secondary pressure from the RCV is supplied to port
of the spring side and shifts the BC2 (option) spool.
The P1 parallel passage is shut off by the movement of the BC2 spool and the pressurized oil
from P1 port opens the check poppet and combined with flow of the option spool.

10) OPERATION OF NEGATIVE CONTROL VALVE
When no function is being actuated on P1 side, the hydraulic fluid from the P2 port, flows into the
tank passage through the P1 bypass passage and the orifice of the negative control valve.
The negative control pressure caused by this operation is transferred to the regulator of the piston
pump through the Pn1 port.
This pressure controls the swash plate angle of the pump to the minimum and minimize the flow of
the P1 side.
When one or more spools are shifted, the P1 bypass passage is shut-off and the flow is almost
zero.
Accordingly, the negative control pressure that is supplied to the pump through Pn1 port is
lowered and the swash plate angle becomes maximum and the flow of the P1 side becomes
maximum.
On the other hand, the negative control pressure is increased and high than the setting pressure
of the spring, the negative control valve is opened and the flow passes to the hydraulic tank and
functions as a relief valve.
The operation of the negative control valve of the P2 side is same as that of the P1 side.

2. PRINCIPLE OF DRIVING
2.1 Generating the turning force
The high hydraulic supplied from a hydraulic pump flows into a cylinder block (8) through valve casing
of motor (1), and valve plate (20).
The high hydraulic is built as flowing on one side of Y-Y line connected by the upper and lower sides
of piston (12).
The high hydraulic can generate the force, F1=P×A (P : supplied pressure, A : water pressure area),
like following pictures, working on a piston.
This force, F1, is divided as N1 thrust partial pressure and W1 radial partial pressure, in case of the
plate of a tilt angle, α.
W1 generates torque, T=W1×R1, for Y-Y line connected by the upper and lower sides of the piston
as following pictures.
The sum of torque (ΣW1×R1), generated from each piston (4~5 pieces) on the side of a high
hydraulic, generates the turning force.
This torque transfers the turning force to a cylinder (8) through a piston; because a cylinder is
combined with a turning axis and spline, a turning axis rotates and a turning force is sent.

2) MAKE UP VALVE
In the system using this type of motor, there is no counter balance functioning valve and there
happens the case of revolution exceeding hydraulic supply of motor. To prevent the cavitation
caused by insufficient oil flow there is a make up valve to fill up the oil insufficiency.
A make up valve is provided immediately before the port leading to the hydraulic oil tank to secure
feed pressure required when the hydraulic motor makes a pumping action. The boost pressure
acts on the hydraulic motor's feed port via the make up valve.
Pressurized oil into the port B, the motor rotate counterclockwise.
If the plunger of MCV moves neutral position, the oil in the motor is drain via left relief valve, the
drain oil run into motor via right make up valve, which prevent the cavitation of motor.

(1) Construction of relief valve


The valve casing contains two cartridge type relief valves that stop the regular and reverse
rotations of the hydraulic motor. The relief valves relieve high pressure at start or at stop of swing
motion and can control the relief pressure in two steps, high and low, in order to insure smooth
operation.

4) BRAKE SYSTEM
(1) Control valve swing brake system
This is the brake system to stop the swing motion of the excavator during operation.
In this system, the hydraulic circuit is throttled by the swing control valve, and the resistance

(2) Mechanical swing parking brake system


This is function as a parking brake only when all of the RCV lever (except swing, arm in) are not
operated.

① BRAKE ASSEMBLY
Circumferential rotation of separate plate
(16) is constrained by the groove located
at housing (1). When housing is
pressed down by brake spring (20) 20
through friction plate (15), separate plate 10
(16) and brake piston (17), friction force 17
occurs there. 16
Cylinder block (10) is constrained by this 15
friction force and brake acts, while brake 1

② OPERATING PRINCIPLE
a. When the RCV lever (1) is set to the swing or arm in operating position, the pilot oil go to SH of
the time delay valve (35).
This pressure moves spool (5) to the leftward against the force of the spring(8), so pilot pump
charged oil (P3) goes to the chamber G through port PG.
This pressure is applied to move the piston (17) to the upward against the force of the spring
(20). Thus, it releases the brake force.

1) MOTOR
High pressure oil delivered form hydraulic pump is led to inlet port that is provided in the brake
valve portion and, through the rear cover (34) and valve plate (28), led to cylinder block (18).
The oil flow and direction of shaft rotation are indicated in table.

300L2TM04

As shown in below figure, high pressure oil is supplied to the pistons which are on one side of the
line Y-Y that connects upper and lower dead points and produces force F1.
F1 = P×A (P : pressure, A : area of piston section)
The swash plate (17) with inclined angle of divides this force F1 into thrust force F2 and radial
force F31-34.
This radial force is applied to axis Y-Y as turning force and generate drive torque of T.
T = r1·F31+r2·F32+r3·F33+r4·F34
This drive torque is transmitted via cylinder block (18) to driving shaft (9).

2) PARKING BRAKE
Parking brake is released when high pressure oil selected by the brake valve portion that is
connected directly to the rear cover (34), is applied to the parking piston (25).
Otherwise the braking torque is always applied.
This braking torque is generated by the friction between the separated plates (24), inserted into the
casing (1), and friction plates (23), coupled to cylinder block (18) by the outer splines.
When no pressure is activated on the parking piston (25), it is pushed by the brake springs (30)
and it pushes friction plates (23) and separated plates (24) towards casing (1) and generates the
friction force which brakes the rotation of cylinder block (18) and hence the shaft (9).

2609A2TM05

2-71
3) CAPACITY CONTROL MECHANISM
Figure typically shows the capacity control mechanism.
When high speed pilot line is charged with the pressure PA that overcome the spring (52), the
spring (52) is compressed and spool (48) shifts to the right to connect the port P and port C.
Then, the highest pressure is selected by the check valve (56) from inlet and outlet pressure of the
motor and high speed pilot line pressure and pushes shifter piston (7). As a result, swash plate (17)
turns around the line L which connect the two pivots (16) as shown by dotted lines. The turn stops
at the stopper (1-1) of casing and swash plate (17) keeps the position.
In this case, the piston stroke become shorter and motor capacity become smaller and motor
rotates faster, around 1.60 times, by the same volume of oil.
When no pressure is in the high speed pilot line PA, spool (35) is pushed back by the spring (52)
and pressure that pressed the shifter piston (7) is released to the hydraulic tank through restrictor
(60).
Here, nine pistons are there and they equally spaced on the swash plate (17). The force that
summed up those of pistons comes to almost the center of the swash plate (17) as shown. Since
the pivots (16) are off-set by S from the center, the rotating force of product S and the force moves
swash plate (17) to the former position and the speed returns to low.
When the power demand exceeds the engine power, such as in steep slope climbing or turning at
high speed mode, the system step down to the low speed automatically. The mechanism is that:
pump pressure is led to the port PB and this pressure activate on pin (51). When the pressure at PB
exceeds predetermined value, spool (48) returns to the left by the counter-pressure against pin (51)
and the pressure on the shifter piston (7) through port C is released to the tank and the motor
comes to low speed.
When PB goes down, the spool (48) moves to the right and the speed become high.

This valve is screwed in the motor rear cover (34) and consists of : plug (47-1) that is screwed and
fixed in the rear cover (34), poppet (47-10) and supports the poppet seat (47-11), spring (47-4)
that is operating relief valve setting pressure and supports the spring seat (47-5), that is inserted

(2) Operation
Two pieces of overload valves are located at cross-over position in the counterbalance circuit of
brake valve and have the following functions:
① When hydraulic motor starts, keep the driving pressure below predetermined value and while
accelerating, bypasses surplus oil to return line.
② When stopping the motor, keep the brake pressure, that develops on the outlet side of motor,
under the predetermined value to stop the inertial force.
③ To accelerate sharply while starting, and to mitigate the braking shock while stopping. For these
purposes, the developed pressure is kept comparatively low for a short period, then keep the line
pressure as normal value. While the pressure is low, meshing of reduction gears, crawler and
sprocket etc. can be smoothly done and the shock are absorbed.
When starting, "A" port pressure of overload valve increases, this pressure is applied to the
effective diameter of poppet (47-10) which seats on the poppet seat (47-11) and, at the same
time, is delivered, via small hole, to the spring seat (47-5) located inside the sleeve (47-6) and the
seat bore pressure increases up to "A" port pressure. The poppet (47-10) opposes to spring (47-
4) by the force of the pressure exerted on the area difference between poppet seat's effective
diameter and spring seat bore and keep the predetermined pressure.
When hydraulically braking, the piston (47-7) is at the left position by the driving pressure, and
when "A" port pressure increases, the pressure is applied also to the piston (47-7) through the
small hole in the poppet (47-10) and piston (47-7) moves rightward until it touches the stopper in
rear cover. In this while, the poppet (47-10) maintains "A" port pressure at comparatively low
against the spring (47-4) force and exhaust oil to "B" port side. After the piston reached to the
plug, the valve acts the same as at starting.

5) BRAKE VALVE
(1) Structure
The brake valve portion mainly consists of the following parts:
① Spool
By shifting the spool (35), the discharged oil from hydraulic motor is automatically shut off or
restricted according to the condition and give the effect of holding, accelerating, stopping and
counterbalance operations.
(See page 2-74, (2) Operation)
② Check valve (built in the spool)
This valve is located in the oil supplying passage to hydraulic motor, and at the same time
functions to lock oil displacement. Therefore, this valve serves as not only a suction valve but
also a holding valve for hydraulic motor.

(2) Operation
① Holding operation
When the control valve is at neutral position, VA and VB ports are connected to the tank, and the
spring (38) located on both spool ends holds the spool (35) at central position.
Therefore, the passages from VA to MA and VB to MB are closed, which result in closing MA
and MB ports connected to hydraulic motor.
Since the passage to parking brake is connected to the tank line, the brake cylinder pressure is
equal to the tank pressure and the brake is applied by the springs. Thus, the rotation of the motor
is mechanically prevented.
If external torque is exerted on the motor shaft, the motor would not rotate as usual by this
negative parking brake.
In case the brake should be released for some reason, pressure is built on MA or MB port. But,
due to oil leakage inside hydraulic motor or so, high-pressure oil escapes from the closed circuit
and motor rotates a bit. So, the cavitation tends to occur in the lower pressure side of the closed
circuit. Then, the check valve, built in the spool (35), operates to avoid the cavitation and opens
the passage from VA to MA or from VB to MB. Then the oil equivalent to the leakage is sucked
from the tank line to the closed circuit.

② Accelerating operation
When VA and VB ports are connected respectively to pump and tank by operating the control
valve, hydraulic oil from pump is forwarded through VA port to push open the check valve
provided inside spool (35), and oil flows to motor via MA port to rotate the motor.
Therefore, the pressure increases and negative brake is released by the pressure supplied from
pump. At the same time, the pressure of pilot chamber increases to push and move the spool
(35) leftwards, overcoming the spring (38) force. Thus, the return line from MB to VB opens to
rotate the motor.
In case inertia load is too big to start rotation, accelerating pressure reaches the set pressure of
relief valve and high pressure oil is being relieved while the motor gains the rotational speed.
As the rotational speed goes up, the relieved volume decreases, and finally the motor rotates at
a fixed speed.

③ Stopping operation
Returning the control valve to neutral position while running the motor, the oil supply is cut off
and VA and VB ports are connected to the tank line. Then the pressure of the pilot chamber
located on both spool ends become equal, and the spool (35) returns to the neutral position by
spring (38) force. Thus, the passage from MA to VA is closed.
Owing to the inertia force of the load, the hydraulic motor tends to continue the rotation. Here,
the motor functions as a pump and forwards the oil to MB port but the passage is blocked and
MB port pressure increases. Then the relief valve opens to relieve the pressure and rotational
speed decelerates and at last the motor stops.
Negative brake release pressure is gradually lowered due to the restrictor and finally the brake
works and the motor is mechanically stopped.

④ Counterbalance operation
Counterbalance operation is required to decelerate slowly the hydraulic motor while absorbing
inertia force.
In case the hydraulic oil is gradually decreased from pump to VB port, the drive shaft of hydraulic
motor tends to rotate faster than that matched to the volume of oil supply.
Consequently, the pilot chamber pressure on MB to VB side decreases and the spring (38) force
moves the spool (35) leftwards towards neutral position.
Therefore, the area of passage from MA to VA becomes smaller and the pressure on MA side
rises due to increased resistance in the passage and the motor receives hydraulic braking effect.
If the motor rotates slower than that matched to the volume of supplied oil, the pilot chamber
pressure on VB port increases, and spool (35) moves rightwards to enlarge the area of passage
from MA to VA. Therefore the braking effect becomes smaller and the rotational speed of motor
is controlled to correspond to the volume of supplied oil.
In order to give stable counterbalance operation, the restrictors (40) are set in the pilot chamber
to damp the spool (35) movement.
The parking brake is released during pressure adjusting action of the spool (35).

6) REDUCTION GEAR
Reduction unit slows down the rotating speed of motor and converts motor torque to strong rotating
force.
This reduction unit utilizes two stages, planetary reduction system.
Planetary reduction system consists of sun gear, planetary gears, (planetary) carriers, and ring
gear.
When the sun gear (s) is driven through input shaft, planetary pinions (b), rotating on their center,
also move, meshing with fixed ring gear (a), around sun gear (s).
This movement is transferred to carrier (k) and deliver the torque.
This mechanism is called planetary gear mechanism.

When the sun gear S1 is driven by input shaft, planetary action occurs among gears S1, a and b
and revolution of gear b transfers the rotation of carrier K1 to second sun gear S2, and also evokes
planetary action between gear S2, a and d.
This time, because carrier K2 is fixed to frame, gear d drives ring gear a and then ring gear a
rotates to drive sprocket.

The pressurized oil delivered from the hydraulic pump flows to valve casing (303) of the motor,
passes through the brake valve mechanism, and is introduced into cylinder block (111) via valve
plate (131). This oil constructively introduced only to one side of (Y1)- (Y2) connecting the upper
and lower dead points of stroke of piston (121). The pressurized oil led to one side in cylinder block
(111) pushes each piston (121) four or five and generates a forec [F (kgf) = P (kgf/cm2) ×A (cm2)].
This force acts on swash plate (201), and is resolves into components (F2 and F3) because swash
plate (201) is fixed at an angle (α) with the axis of drive shaft (101).
Radial component (F3) generates respective torques (T=F3×ri) for (Y1)- (Y2). This residual of
torque [T=S (F3×ri)] rotates cylinder block (111) via piston (121).
Since the cylinder block (111) is spline coupled with drive shaft (101).
So the drive shaft (101) rotates and the torque is transmitted.

2-85
2) RELIEF VALVE
The relief valve mainly has the following two functions :
(1) To keep the starting pressure of the hydraulic motor at a constant value and bypass to the
return line excessive oil generated at the motor inlet depending upon the acceleration speed
of the driven inertia.
(2) To generate a brake pressure at the outlet during stopping of the driven inertia, and stop it
forcedly.

Port A Port B

Poppet A
Seat A Chamber A

3607A2TM06

The chamber A is always connected to the port A of the motor.


When the pressure at port A increases and the force pushing poppet A is higher than the set
pressure of the spring, then poppet A is pushed up from the contact surface of seat A, and oil
flows from chamber A to port B.

2-86
3) NEGATIVE BRAKE
The negative brake is released applying to the brake piston (702) the pressure led through the
built-in counterbalance spool sub-assembly (022).
With no pressure working, the brake force is always ensured.

300A2TM06

The brake force is the friction force generated on the surfaces of the friction plates (742) spline-
coupled with the cylinder block (111), when their rotation is restricted by the shaft casing (272),
separation plate (741), and brake piston (702).
Without pressure being applied to the brake piston, the brake piston is pushed by fourteen brake
springs (705), and the friction plate and separation plate are held between the brake and shaft
casing. This holding force functions as the friction force. This friction force restrains the shaft (101)
spline-coupled with the cylinder block, and this function is the brake.

2-87
4) PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE (Flow control valve)

During running During stop

3607A2TM08A

This brake is of a backpressure-insensitive type. In other words, since the counterbalance spool
used be overlapped at the neutral position, the pressure release valve prevents the circuit
backpressure from working into the brake chamber when the machine stops traveling and works,
and so the specified brake torque is available even on a slope.
During normal traveling, the pressure coming through the counterbalance valve is applied to the
brake chamber to release the break, and is also applied to the pressure release valve section.
This pressure release valve is of a constant differential pressure type, and irrespective of the
working pressure, the passing flow is constant and approximately 1 to 2 ℓ/ min.
When the condition changes from traveling to stop, the counterbalance spool returns to its neutral
position. The brake piston is pushed by the brake spring, and the oil in the brake chamber flow to
the motor drain line via the pressure release valve. Then the brake torque is generated.

2-88
5) RELEASING METHOD OF NEGATIVE BRAKE
In releasing the negative brake without applying the brake releasing pressure, follow the
procedures shown below.
Details of work Tools
Remove two plugs (564) from the valve casing (303).
(For their position, see the attached installation dimension)
Tighten an M10 screw of 135 mm in length into a tapped hole Socket wrench
of the brake piston (702). Then the condition having the brake 6 mm
release pressure is attained and the brake is released. 8 mm

Note : Even with the negative brake released, the hydraulic motor will not turn. When it is difficult
to generate the working pressure due to failure of the pump or so, and the whole machine is to
be pulled for transportation without removing the hydraulic motor, connect pressure
measurement ports AM and BM with a short hose or something. Then the machine can be
pulled slowly.

Av Bv

3607A2TRG03

Suppose port Bv is connected to the hydraulic pump and Port Av, to the tank. The oil supplied from
the hydraulic pump passes through Bv, Cv and C' in sequence, pushes up the poppet of the check
valve, passes through K to Port Bm, and is supplied to the hydraulic motor to turn it.
Therefore, the pump discharge oil pressure increases, and the pressure is led via passage G to
spring room E and via the ball check valve to dumping room M. When the pressure in rooms E
and M exceeds the value equivalent to the force of the spring which holds the spool at its neutral
position, the spool begins to move left. Since the working oil in room N flows into room F via
throttle 1' or clearance 2' and that in room F is discharged via passage G' through port Av to the
tank, the spool moves left to have passage L-Dm-D'-Dv composed. In addition, passage Cv-H-P is
also composed, and the pump discharge pressure in port Bv is led to port P.
Because of the throttle or clearance provided for the working oil flow from room N, this changeover
motion of the spool is comparatively slow.
When the pump discharge pressure is higher, the spool movement is larger and the above opening
area of the spool is larger.
When the pump discharge pressure falls, pressures in rooms E and M fall and the spool will move
right due to the spring on the room F side.
Since working oil in room M flows to room E via throttle 1 and that in room E, to port Bv via
passage G, the spool moves right.
When the pressure at port Bv falls down to the tank pressure, the pressure in room E also falls to
the tank pressure and becomes equal to that in room F, and so the spool returns to its neutral
position.

7) DISPLACEMENT CHANGEOVER SECTION
As a supporting mechanism for the swash plate (201) on which the shoes (122) slide, the pillar
system is adopted to support the load with semi-cylindrical sliding bearings provided at both ends
of the mechanism.
The capacity is changed by changing the tilting angle of this swash plate.
This is a mechanism that swash plate was pushed by tilting position, and the tilting angle of the
swash plate is decided in two positions (large and small) by controlling the flows to and from these
piston rooms with the displacement changeover valve section.

By means of the built-in high pressure selector mechanism in the valve casing (303), the high

displacement-changeover valve through port S and passage B to room C where it works.
The displacement changeover piston (502) is pushed light by the high pressure oil and the swash
plate moves in the arrowed direction. The swash plate moves until it touched stopper S, and
then is fixed there.

8) REDUCTION GEAR
The reduction gear is composed of a three-stage planetary gear mechanism shown in the following
figure. Since the sun gear is designed to have a floating mechanism, errors of the gears and
carrier pin hole pitches will not affect the gears' lives heavily.

R3 R2 R1

C3 C2 C1
P3 P2 P1

S3 S2
S1

3607A2TRG04

The input rotation of the hydraulic motor is transmitted to No. 1 sun gear (S1) and this drives No. 1
planetary gears (P1). This No. 1 planetary gears (P1) drive No.1 ring gear (R1) with the same
force as the meshing tangential force with No. 1 sun gear (S1), and also No. 1 carrier (C1) with the
same force as the meshing reaction force. In other words, No. 1 planetary gears (P1) revolve
rotating. This rotation of No. 1 carrier (C1) becomes the output of the 1st stage, and is transmitted
directly to No. 2 sun gear (S2).
(No. 1 carrier is spline-coupled with No. 2 sun gear.) Similarly the revolution of No. 2 planetary gear
(P2) are transmitted via No.2 carrier (C2) to No. 3 sun gear (S3). Since No. 3 carrier (C3)
supporting No. 3 planetary gears (P3) are fixed, No. 3 planetary gears (P3) do not revolve, but
rotates to drive No. 3 ring gear (R3).
Therefore, the rotating case is driven by the overall driving torque of No1, 2 and 3 ring gears.
This reduction ratio is expressed as shown below:
(ZS1 + ZR1) (ZS2 + ZR2) (ZS3 + ZR3)
i= -1
ZS1·ZS2 ·ZS3
where Z : Number of teeth of each gear
The direction of rotation is reverse to that of the input shaft.

Item numbers are based on the type L11.


The construction of the pilot valve is shown in the attached cross section drawing. The casing has
vertical holes in which reducing valves are assembled.
The pressure reducing section is composed of the spool (3), spring (5) for setting secondary pres-
sure, return spring (7), spring seat (6) and shim (4). The spring for setting the secondary pressure
has been generally so preset that the secondary pressure is 5 to 20.5 kgf/cm2 (depending on the
type). The spool is pushed against the push rod (9) by the return spring.
When the push rod is pushed down by tilting the handle, the spring seat comes down simultaneously
and changes setting of the secondary pressure spring.

2. FUNCTIONS
1) FUNDAMENTAL FUNCTIONS
The pilot valve is a valve that controls the spool stroke, direction, etc of a main control valve. This
function is carried out by providing the spring at one end of the main control valve spool and apply-
ing the output pressure (secondary pressure) of the pilot valve to the other end.
For this function to be carried out satisfactorily, the pilot valve is composed of the following ele-
ments.
(1) Inlet port (P) where oil is supplied from hydraulic pump.
(2) Output ports (1, 2, 3 & 4) to apply pressure supplied from inlet port to ends of control valve spools.
(3) Tank port (T) necessary to control the above output pressure.
(4) Spool to connect output port to inlet port or tank port.
(5) Mechanical means to control output pressure, including springs that work on the above spools.
2) FUNCTIONS OF MAJOR SECTIONS
Item numbers are based on the type L11.
The functions of the spool (3) are to receive the supply oil pressure from the hydraulic pump at its
port P, and to change over oil paths to determine whether the pressure oil of port P is led to output
ports 1, 2, 3 & 4 or the output port pressure oil to tank port T.
The spring (5) works on this spool to determine the output pressure.
The change the deflection of this spring, the push rod (9) is inserted and can slide in the plug (8).
For the purpose of changing the displacement of the push rod through the swash plate (16) and
adjusting nut (17) are provided the handle assy (20) that can be tilted in any direction around the
fulcrum of the universal joint (15) center.
The spring (7) works on the case (1) and spring seat (6) and tries to return the push rod (9) to the
zero-displacement position irrespective of the output pressure, securing its resetting to the center
position.
This also has the effect of a reaction spring to give appropriate control feeling to the operator.

2-97
3) OPERATION
The operation of the pilot valve will be described on the basis of the hydraulic circuit diagram
shown below and the attached operation explanation drawing.
The diagram shown below is the typical application example of the pilot valve.

The force of the spring (5) that determines the output pressure of the pilot valve is not applied to
the spool (3). Therefore, the spool is pushed up by the spring (7) to the position of port (1, 3) in
the operation explanation drawing. Then, since the output port is connected to tank port T only,
the output port pressure becomes equal to tank pressure.

2-99
(2) Case where handle is tilted

Port 1 Port 3

300L2RL04

When the push rod (9) is stroked, the spool (3) moves downwards.
Then port P is connected with port (1) and the oil supplied from the pilot pump flows through port
(1) to generate the pressure.
When the pressure at port (1) increases to the value corresponding to the spring force set by tilt-
ing the handle, the hydraulic pressure force balances with the spring force. If the pressure at port
(1) increases higher than the set pressure, port P is disconnected from port (1) and port T is con-
nected with port (1). If it decreases lower than the set pressure, port P is connected with port (1)
and port T is disconnected from port 1.
In this manner the secondary pressure is kept at the constant value.
Besides, in some type, when the handle is tilted more than a certain angle, the upper end of the
spool contacts with the inside bottom of the push rod and the output pressure is left to be con-
nected with port P.

CROSS SECTION
The construction of the RCV pedal is shown in the below drawing. The casing has vertical holes in
which reducing valves are assembled.
The pressure reducing section is composed of the spool (7), spring (5) for setting secondary
pressure, return spring (9), stopper (8), and spring seat (6). The spring for setting the secondary
pressure has been generally so preset that the secondary pressure is 6.3±1 to 24.9±1.5 kgf/cm2
(depending on the type). The spool is pushed against the push rod (13) by the return spring.
When the push rod is pushed down by tilting pedal, the spring seat comes down simultaneously and
changes setting of the secondary pressure spring.

2. FUNCTION
1) FUNDAMENTAL FUNCTIONS
The pilot valve is a valve controls the spool stroke, direction, etc of a main control valve. This
function is carried out by providing the spring at one end of the main control valve spool and
applying the output pressure (secondary pressure) of the pilot valve to the other end.
For this function to be carried out satisfactorily, the pilot valve is composed of the following
elements.
(1) Inlet port (P) where oil is supplied from hydraulic pump.
(2) Output port (1, 2, 3 & 4) to apply pressure supplied from inlet port to ends of control valve spools.
(3) Tank port (T) necessary to control the above output pressure.
(4) Spool to connect output port to inlet port tank port.
(5) Mechanical means to control output pressure, including springs that work on the above spools.
2) FUNCTIONS OF MAJOR SECTIONS
The functions of the spool (7) are to receive the supply oil pressure from the hydraulic pump at its
port P, and to change over oil paths to determine whether the pressure oil of port P is led to output
ports 1, 2, 3 & 4 or the output spool to determine the output pressure.
The spring (5) works on this spool to determine the output pressure.
The change the deflection of this spring, the push rod (13) is inserted and can slide in the plug (20).
For the purpose of changing th displacement of the push rod through the cam (27) and adjusting
nut (32) are provided the pedal that can be tilted in any direction around the fulcrum of the cam (27)
center.
The spring (9) works on the body (1) and spring seat (6) and tries to return the push rod (13) to the
zero-displacement position irrespective of the output pressure, securing its resetting to the center
position.
This also has the effect of a reaction spring to give appropriate control feeling to the operator.

3) OPERATION
The operation of the pilot valve will be described on the basis of the hydraulic circuit diagram shown
below and the attached operation explanation drawing.
The diagram shown below is the typical application example of the pilot valve.

The force of the spring (5) that determines the output pressure of the pilot valve is not applied to
the spool (7). Therefore, the spool is pushed up by the spring (9) to the position of 1 and port 2.
Then, since the output port is connected to tank port T only, the output port pressure becomes
equal to tank pressure.

When the push rod (13) is stroked, the spool (7) moves downwards.
Then port P is connected with port 1, and the oil supplied from the pilot pump flows through port
1 to generate the pressure.
When the pressure at port 1 increases to the value corresponding to the spring force set by tilting
the handle, the hydraulic pressure force balances with the spring force. If the pressure at port 1
increases higher than the set pressure, port P is disconnected from port 1 and port T is
connected with port 1. If it decreases lower than the set pressure, port P is connected with port
1 and port T is disconnected from port 1.
In this manner the secondary pressure is kept at the constant value.
Besides, in some type, when the handle is tilted more than a certain angle, the upper end of the
spool contacts with inside bottom of the push rod and the output pressure is left to be connected
with port P.
