7.0.3 Functional description


The attachment and travel system on the excavator can be separated in two parts :
– the power circuit composed of pumps, valve blocks, motor, cylinder, etc.
– the electro-hydraulic control system.

7.0.3.1 Electro-hydraulic system


The purpose of the electric pilot system is to activate the different attachment, travel and swing movements of
the machine, proportionally to the deflection of the servo control levers and pedals.
Each servo control unit delivers an electrical signal depending on its deflection.

The FSG plate amplifies this signal so that it is sufficient strength to supply the regulating solenoid valve Yr...

and the switching solenoid valves Y... which are mounted in series.
The regulating solenoid valves Yr... control the spools in the 3 control valve blocks and distributor block on the
attachment, and swing pumps via the torque control regulators (TCV).
The logical solenoid valves Y... prevent the concerned movement to be supplied when the servo unit controlling
this movement is in neutral position.
The FSG plate A1020 also elaborates the switching logic determining the priorities in the summation of the dif-
ferent hydraulic pump flows. This switching logic is used to commute the switching solenoid valves Y... and so
to control the oil flow supplying a movement.
The hydraulic part of the system consists of the servo oil circuit (i.e. of the pump P9, servo oil unit SU1) which
supplies the servo pressure to the regulating solenoid valves Yr... via the switching solenoid valves Y... .

7.0.3.2 Power circuit

Hydraulik tank and oil filters

The hydraulic tank 1 contains the hydraulic oil for the complete system. Baffle plates inside the tank prevent
hydraulic oil turbulence during machine operation.
The three return oil filter housings 2 are located on top of the tank. They consist in magnetic rods and paper
filter.
All return oil flows via the collector pipe and the filters back to the tank.
The leak oil filter housing 3 is located on top of the hydraulic tank. It consists in magnetic rods and paper filter.
All leak oil flows via this filter back to the tank.
During cold start, or if the filter element is contaminated, the oil can return to the tank via a bypass valve which
is integrated in the filter.
For the maintenance of tank 1 and filters 2 and 3, see maintenance schedule and instruction manual.

The hydraulic working pumps

Hydraulic pumps convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. They are driven by the diesel engine via
the splitterbox. The working pump assembly consists of two double variable displacement pumps.
Each pump unit is designed as a pump in axial piston swash plate design. The pump flow is in proportion to
the output RPM and the pump angle.
Pump regulation can be separated in three parts :
– power regulation
– pump pressure limitation
– flow regulation
For description of construction and function see subgroup working pump.

MJFCIFSS
Attachment / Travel systems Service Manual

Control valve blocks

The oil from each working pump flows directly to the pressure connection on the corresponding control valve
block (one working pump supplies one control valve block).
When all spool valves are in neutral position, oil issued from the working pumps, flow via the spool valves di-
rectly to connection T and from there to the tank.
The spool valves are actuated hydraulically via the pressures applied to the connections from the electro-hy-
draulic control system (Solenoid valves, servo pressure, logic control and joysticks) and control all excavator-
working functions.
The primary pressure relief valves, which are installed in the control valves blocks, protect the hydraulic system
against pressure peaks above 320 bar between pump unit and control valves blocks.
Suction valves are integrated in the valve blocks to prevent cavitation during certain working movements in cy-
linders and travel motors.
The spool valves for right and left travel are fitted with hydraulic brake valves. They prevent the travel motors
from overspeeding when travelling on steep inclines. These spool valves are equipped with secondary pressu-
re relief valves to protect the travel circuits and to reduce pressure peaks between the control valve blocks and
the hydraulic motors when the spool valves are closed.
The control valve blocks are maintenance free. For description of use, function and resealing see subgroup.
The secondary pressure relief valves are also installed in the control valve blocks. They protect the different
circuits and reduce the pressure peaks between the control valve blocks and the hydraulic cylinders when the
spool valves are closed.

Hydraulic oil cooling

The return oil from control valve blocks, connection T, is collected and return to tank (collecting pipe CP1),
either via oil coolers or via pretension valves.
The oil coolers are cooled by outside air with two fans, which are driven hydraulically (see chapter Cooling Sys-
tems).
In order to prevent pressure peaks in the oil coolers when the hydraulic oil is cold (high viscosity), the check
valves (pretension valves), which are adjusted to 3 bar, opens and allows the return oil from the control valve
blocks to flow directly to the collecting pipe CP1.

Hydraulic rotary connection

The rotary connection is special connection, which transfers hydraulic oil from the uppercarriage to the under-
carriage. The rotary connection has 6 inlets (from uppercarriage) and 6 outlets (to the undercarriage).
Pressurised oil is led to the four travel motors via four inlets (1, 2, 3 and 4) and four outlets (1, 2, 3 and 4)
The pressurised oil necessary to the tensioning unit is also led to the track tension cylinders via four inlets (1,
2, 3 and 4) and four outlets (1, 2, 3 and 4).
The pressurised oil necessary to release the travel brakes is also led to the brakes via four inlets (1, 2, 3 and
4) and four outlets (1, 2, 3 and 4).
The servo oil necessary to shift the excavator from moderate travel speed to maximum travel speed flow throu-
gh one of the two central channels.
The leak oil from travel motors and tensioning unit flows through the second central channel.
The rotary connection is maintenance free.

Attachment cylinders and motors

Hydraulic actuators convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy. We differantiate two kinds :
Hydraulic actuators, which transfer force in a straight line with a limited stroke, as hydraulic cylinders. For des-
cription of function or resealing of hydraulic cylinders, see subgroup.

function, see subgroup.

7.0.3.3 Electro-hydraulic pilot control system


The purpose of the electric pilot control system is to activate the different attachments, travel and swing move-
ments of the machine, proportionally to the deflection of the servo control levers and pedals.
Each servo control unit delivers an electrical signal depending on its instantaneous deflection.

The FSG plate amplifies this signal so that it is sufficient strenght to supply the regulating solenoid valves Yr...
and the switching solenoid valves Y... which are mounted in series.
The solenoid valves are located on the control valve console (attachment and travel movements) and on the
torque control valves for the swing pumps (swing movements).
The regulating solenoid valves Yr... control the spools in the 3 control valve blocks and distributor block on the
attachment, and swing pumps.
The logical solenoid valves Y... prevent the concerned movement to be supplied when the servo unit controlling
this movement is in neutral position.
The FSG plate A1020 elaborates the switching logic determining the priorities in the summation of the different
hydraulic pump flows. This switching logic is used to commute the switching solenoid valves Y... and so to con-
trol the oil flow supplying a movement (see chapter logic system).

Pilot control units


Both electronic and mechanical remote control components are integrated in each pilot control unit.
Mechanical components
• Joysticks :
The mechanical component consists of a joystick, which can be deflected, in any direction. A spring returns the
hand lever to its center (neutral) position.
The deflection of the joystick is transmitted to two stroke sensors which provide the input signals for the elec-
tronic components.

R 9250 from 13466 7 - 13


MJFCIFSS
Attachment / Travel systems Service Manual

The hand lever is moved through a gate, which ensure that full diagonal deflection results in full x- and y-axis
movement.
• Pedals :
The mechanical component consists of a footplate, which is movable around an axis.
A spring returns the footplate to its center (neutral) position.
The deflection of the footplate is transmitted to a stroke sensor, which provides the input signal for the electro-
nic components of the pedal transmitter.
Electronic components
• In each pilot control unit (joystick or pedal), the output signal of each stroke sensor is applied to a compo-
nent. This component delivers an output proportionally to the deflection of the pilot control unit.
• This signal is then amplified by the FSG plate A1020 in order to be sufficient strength to supply the regu-
lating solenoid valves on the control valve console (attachment and travel movements) and on the torque
control valves for the swing pumps (swing movements).
Since the regulating solenoid valves are driven with impressed current, the influence of resistance changes in
the coils (for example, due to temperature differences) is suppressed.

Functional description
The geared pump P9 feeds the servo oil unit SU1.
The pressure relief valve in SU1 limits the servo pressure to 55 bar. The hydraulic oil flow through the filter
mounted in by-pass with a check valve and feeds in parallel the different outputs for SU1 and the RSV Y3.1,
Y3.2, Y3.3, Y4, Y7, Y94 and Y136.
The different outputs are :
– P1 : connection for grease system, spool valves DBB (Distribution Block - Boom) and Y136 (cut off pressure
elevation) supply.
– P2 : not used.
– P3 : connection with servo control pressure port P1 of working pumps.
– P4 and P5 : not used.
– P6 : connection with control pressure port P1 of torque control valve.
– A1 : connection between Y94 (high speed RSV) and rotary connection.
– A2 : connection between Y3.1 and port PST of P2.
– A3 : connection between Y3.2 and port PST of P4.
– A4 : connection between Y3.3 and port PST of P1 and P3.
– A5 : connection between Y7 and GS1/2 (swing brake).
– A6 : connection between Y4 and port XLR of P1, P2, P3 and P4.
The hydro-accumulator is used like an oil pressure reserve for the servo pressure circuit. In case of engine stop
(emergency shutdown, engine failure, ...) the operator can use this oil pressure reserve to activate the spool
valves and thus to move the equipment (to let the boom go down for example).

Logic system
On the hydraulic excavator R 9250, the spool valves are controlled electronically (joysticks, prinplates and so-
lenoid valves).
A movements combination is possible but it is controlled by a switching logic which determines the priority for
the movements in relation with the input (movement which are commanded from the operator through the joys-
ticks pedals).
This switching logic is necessary to distribute equitably the oil flows of the different working pumps in the diffe-
rent receivers (cylinders, hydraulic motors).
Without this switching logic, some of movement combinations are impossible and the speeds of the movements
are uncoordinated (for example : flow from 5 pumps for one movement and flow from 2 pumps for another).
The switching logic use the logical outputs of the servo control units to commute the switching solenoid valve
Y..., which are mounted in series with the regulating solenoid valves Yr... .
The priority list of the switching logic is programmed in the FSG plate A1020.
Proximity switches are installed on the attachment in order to amortise the end strokes of the cylinders.

Proximity transmitters
The excavator R9250 is equipped with proximity transmitters for each cylinder movement. These transmitters
detect the end stroke of the cylinder.
When a cylinder stroke end is detected, the information is sent to the FSG plate A1020 (connector X82). The
FSG plate A1020 closes completely or partially the solenoid valves which control the movement.
These transmitters allow to prevent the shocks when the cylinders come to end stroke.

7.0.4 Working pumps

7.0.4.1 Description
There are 3 working pumps, one double pump A20 VSO 520 and one single pump A11 VLO 260.
The working pump A20 VSO 520 is a double variable displacement axial piston in swash plate design. And the
working pump A11 VLO 260 is a single variable displacement axial piston in swash plate design. These pumps
supply the main hydraulic circuit (attachment movements, travel).
The flow is in proportion to the input RPM and increases as the pump is shifted from the minimum to the maxi-
mum output.

In the pump housing 2, parallel to the input shaft 5, are nine circular arranged pistons 1. The pistons move axial-
ly in the cylinder barrel 3 that in turn is firmly connected to the input shaft 5 via splines. The end of the pistons
are shaped in a ball joint which in turn is mounted in a ball socket / glide shoe. The glide shoes are held against
the variable, but non-rotating slide plate 15 (fixed on the swash plate 6) by the retainer plate 9.
The swash plate 6 may be shifted from the minimum to the maximum angle by the positioning piston 27 through
the centring pin 7 and the slide ring 8.
The regulation of the pump is performed by the positioning piston, located in the pump housing and controlled
by the different valves (pressure regulator, flow regulator, power regulator, ...).
The axial piston unit moves the oil via kidney shaped control inlets in the control lens 4. During the revolution
of the cylinder 3, oil corresponding to the area and stroke of the piston 1 is sucked in by four pistons through
the kidney shaped control ports on the suction side of the pump. The other four pistons displace the oil that is
supplied via the kidney shaped oil outlets to the pressure side of the pump, moving oil via pressure connection
into the hydraulic system. A ninth piston is moving between the upper and the lower limit, at dead centre, i.e.
just changing directions.
Pump displacement
The oil flow of the pump is depending on the stroke of the piston 1.
When the positioning piston 27 is shifted from its minimum to its maximum position, it swivels out the swash
plate 6 via the centring pin 7 and the slide ring 8 and the pump flow is increased correspondingly.
The port X1 of the positioning piston is connected in permanence with the pump high pressure B (or the servo
control pressure P if B<P).
The port X2 of the positioning piston is connected either with the pump high pressure B or with the tank pres-
sure via the different regulator.
When the port X1 is at tank pressure, the pump is in maximum angle. When the port X2 is at high pressure,
the pump is swivelled back to reduced angle due to the section difference of the both side of the positioning
piston.

The regulation on the working pumps can be separated in three parts :
– Power regulation : constant power regulation p*Q=cste.
power reduction stage through pressure XLR (solenoid valve Y4).
– Pump pressure limitation (via pressure cut off DR).
– Flow regulation (controlled by solenoid valves Y3.1, Y3.2 and Y3.3).

Pressure cut-off
Functioning in normal conditions
The pressure cut off DR swivels the pump back to minimum angle to secure the circuit if the pressure increases
somewhat above the normal working range.
The port X2 of the positioning piston is connected to the middle groove of the regulation piston DR.
When the piston DR is moved to the left, the middle groove (and thus the port X2) of the regulator piston is
connected to the pump high pressure MB : the pump swivels to minimum angle.
When the piston DR is moved to the right, the middle groove (and thus the port X2) of the regulator piston is
connected to the tank pressure : the pump swivels to maximum angle.

The piston is held to the right by the force of the spring, and the other side is pushed by the force of the working
pressure applied on the piston surface.
If the working pressure MB of the pump increases above the value given by adjustment screw DR, the piston
moves and allows the working pressure to flow to the port X2 of the positioning piston. The positioning piston
moves the swash plate 6 so to displace the rotary group to the smallest pump angle. The working pressure
remains constant.

Elevation of the pressure cut-off


It is possible to increase the value of the cut off pressure by supplying the port Xd with the servo pressure P.
The piston is then held to the right by the force of the spring and by servo pressure P that is applied on the
piston surface.
The other side is pushed by the force of the working pressure applied on the piston surface and servo pressure
P that is applied on a part of the piston surface.
The value of the pressure cut-off is then greater than its initial value.

7 - 36 R 9250 from 13466


MJFCIFSS

If the working pressure MB of the pump increases above the new value of the pressure cut-off, the piston mo-
ves and allows the working pressure to flow to the port X2 of the positioning piston. The positioning piston mo-
ves the swash plate 6 so to displace the rotary group to the smallest pump angle. The working pressure
remains constant.

Power regulation
On the hydraulic pumps, the power regulation can be separated in two parts :
– a regulation at constant power.
– the power reduction stage (with the impressed current LR on Y4).
The constant power regulation
The constant power regulation means that the same power is available for the pumps and thus that the relation
pxQ
--------------- = Power = cste
600
p : pressure in bar
Q : oil flow in l/min
P : power in kW
The characteristic curve of this regulation is a hyperbola.
The purpose is to align the oil flow of the pumps to the resistance force (pressure) of the movements so that
Q.p=cste.
Function
We suppose that the current LR is constant and thus that XLR is constant and that the pump are in maximum
angle (Pst>20 bar).
The system pressure (MB) of the pump is applied in permanence to the port X1 of the positioning piston.

The port X2 of the positioning piston is connected via the pressure cut off regulator DR to the middle groove of
the regulation piston LR.

When the piston LR is moved to the left, the middle groove (and thus the port X2) of the regulator piston is
connected to the tank pressure : the pump swivels to maximum angle.
When the piston LR is moved to the right, the middle groove (and thus the port X2) of the regulator piston is
connected to the pump high pressure : the pump swivels to minimum angle.

The regulator LR is pushed to the left by the force FLR.

7 - 38 R 9250 from 13466


MJFCIFSS
Service Manual Attachment / Travel systems

FLR = Fspring + FXLR Fspring : force of the springs


FXLR : force of the pressure XLR applied on the piston LR surface

The other side of the regulator is held with a pin maintained by a lever 4.1. The force F2 is applied to this lever
via the position feedback 3.1.
F2 = PxS3.1 working pressure P applied on S3.1 : surface of the position feedback piston 3.1.
The force F1 that pushed the regulator piston LR to the right is proportional with the force F2 and with the po-
sition of the positioning piston (i.e. with the pump angle). At regulation, the piston LR is just balanced with the
force FLR and the force F1.
F1 = F LR = cste and F1xd = F2xa
F1 and d are constant, so we have : F2xa = cste and F2 = PxS3.1
PxS3.1xa = cste Pxa = cste (while S 3.1 = cste)
So if P increases, a decreases (the pump swivels to minimum angle until a new equilibrium is established).

Once this force (F1) exceeds the set preload value of the spring and the force of the XLR pressure, the piston
LR move to the right and the port X2 becomes the high pressure.
The positioning piston is than moved to the right (away from Qmax) and is displaced so to reduce the pump
angle until a new equilibrium between the position of the positioning piston and the pump high pressure is es-
tablished.

R 9250 from 13466 7 - 39


MJFCIFSS
Attachment / Travel systems Service Manual

Within the whole regulating range, to each value of the pump high pressure corresponds one position of the
positioning piston so that the regulating piston LR is in balanced condition under the pretension of the spring
and the pressure XLR on one side and the force of the working pressure through the position feedback piston
3.1 and the lever 4.4 on the other side.
The power curve of the pump is than exactly the curve for constant power, which is a hyperbola. The hydraulic
pumps power remains constant and the flow is adjusted to the pressure necessary for the movements.
Power reduction stage
This stage makes it possible to change hydraulically the regulation characteristics (pump power curve) during
working.
When servo pressure XLR is applied to the regulator LR via the port XLR, the force that pushed the regulator
piston to the left increases. This force is proportional to the pressure XLR and is equal to the tension of the
spring if XLR = 0 bar. The higher the pressure at XLR is, the higher is the pressure for which the regulation
begins will happen.
The pump regulation will further happen as described before (in § constant power regulation). However on the
P-Q diagram, the pump power curve will be shifted towards higher pressure (i.e. towards higher power) by a
value, which is directly proportional to the pressure at port XLR.
The XLR pressure is the output pressure of the power regulating solenoid valve Y4.
The inputs of the regulation solenoid valve Y4 are the servo pressure P (55 bar) and the current ILR. This cur-
rent is issued from the BST (U16) and is in relation with the diesel engine RPM. If the power request for the
hydraulic pumps (for example in case of simultaneity attachment and swing movements) is higher than the
power output of the diesel engine, the RPM will decrease. The BST plate reduces then the ILR current to lower
the working pump power curve (the current decreases until the engine RPM increases to its nominal value).
The purpose of this power reduction stage is to avoid the stall or the overload of the diesel engine.
The adjustment of the power regulator is made with XLR = 0 bar (see working pump adjustment). The regula-
tion beginning is adjusted to occur at a system pressure of about 55 bar if XLR = 0 bar (the spring in the power
regulator LR just balances the force of the servo pressure P applied to the lever 4.1 via the position feedback
piston 3.1).

Flow limitation stage


This function makes it possible to shift the pump to reduced or to minimum flow even at low pressure, as an
example when operating an hydraulic hammer (reduced flow), or when no movement is actuated (flow mini, no

joysticki or pedal signal).


The port X2 of the positioning piston is connected via the pressure cut off regulator DR and the power regulator
LR to the middle groove of the regulation piston DW.
When the piston DW is moved to the right, the middle groove (and thus the port X2) of the regulator piston is
connected to the pump high pressure : the pump swivel to minimum angle.
When the piston DW is moved to the left, the middle groove (and thus the port X2) of the regulator piston is
connected to the tank pressure : the pump swivel to maximum angle.
The piston of the regulator DW is pushed permanently to the right by the force of the servo pressure P (55 bar)
applied on the piston surface.
The piston of the regulator DW is pushed to the left by the force of the spring and by the force of the pressure
MST applied on the piston surface.
The MST pressure is given by the regulator 5, the MST line is connected to the servo pressure P (via the thrott-
le) and to the lower groove of the regulator 5.
When the piston 5.8 of the regulator 5 is moving up in comparison to its sleeve 5.6, the lower groove is con-
nected to the tank pressure, the pressure MST decrease : the piston DW is moved to the right.

When the piston 5.8 of the regulator is in lower position in comparaison to its sleeve 5.6, the lower groove is
closed, the pressure MST than increase to the pressure P : the piston DW is moved to the left.

R 9250 from 13466 7 - 41


MJFCIFSS
Attachment / Travel systems Service Manual

The PST pressure is used to move up the sleeve


5.6 on the regulator 5. If PST pressure is low, the
sleeve is in lower position (due to the spring 5.5).
The piston 5.8 of the regulator 5 is in contact with
the slope surface of the positioning piston 3. The
lower groove is closed, the pressure MST in-
creases and thus the piston DW is moved to the
left (the port X2 becomes the tank pressure) : the
pump swivel out.

7 - 42 R 9250 from 13466


MJFCIFSS
Service Manual Attachment / Travel systems

However, if the pump swivel out, the piston 5.8 of


the regulator 5 is moved up (due to the slope on
the positioning piston 3) in comparaison of the
sleeve 5.6 who is in lower position (low PST pres-
sure). The lower groove of the piston (MST pres-
sure) is connected to the tank; the piston DW
moves to the right (the port X2 becomes the high
pressure) : the pump swivel to minimum angle.

If the sleeve 5.6 of the regulator 5 is in lower position, the pump remains in minimum angle. The sleeve is mo-
ved up with the PST pressure; if PST<10 bar : the sleeve is in lower position.
To have different flow, the sleeve must be moved upwards against the pretension of the spring 5.5 (with PST
pressure).
The vertical level from the piston 5.8 of regulator 5 must then be upper than before (when sleeve 5.6 is in lower
position) to have the flow regulation.

R 9250 from 13466 7 - 43


MJFCIFSS
Attachment / Travel systems Service Manual

While the vertical position of the piston 5.8 depends on the pump angle (because of the slope surface on the
positioning piston : the greater is the pump angle, the more the piston 5.8 of the regulator 5 is pushed vertically),
we have then a different oil flow for each position of the sleeve 5.6 (if PST>20 bar : maximal flow while the
sleeve 5.6 is in upper position).
The PST pressure is the output pressure of the flow regulating solenoid valve Y3.
The inputs of the regulation solenoid valve Y3 are the servo pressure P (55 bar) and the current IEL. This cur-
rent is issued from the BST (U16) and is in relation with different entries :
If no joystick or pedal movement is detected, the current IEL is at its minimum value (400 mA), the pressure
PST is then inferior to 10 bar and the pump is in minimum angle.
– If joystick or pedal deflection reaches more than 10%, the current IEL is at its maximum value (650 mA), the
pressure PST is then superior to 20 bar and the pump is in maximum angle.
– If an external flow limitation is activated, the current IEL is adjusted (between 400 and 650 mA) from the
BST to obtain the flow limitation preadjusted with the help of the display (see subgroup Monitoring Display
in chapter Electrical System).

Boom up movement
• Move the joystick of right pilot control U22 backward.
• The electronic FSG plate A1020 controls the solenoid valves Y100, Y101 and the regulation solenoid val-
ves YR100, YR101 proportionally to the deflection of the joystick U22. If the boom up movement is done
simultaneously with others movements, some of these solenoid valves may not be supplied (see priority
list in § logic system).
• Thanks to a primary pressure relief valve installed on each control valve block, the pressure issued from
the working pumps can not exceed 320 bar.
• The oil issued from the working pumps can now flow threw the control valve blocks to the distribution of
the boom cylinders CB1 and CB2.
• The control valve blocks VB1 and VB2 are connected together so that the oil flow issued from the pumps
is equally distributed between the two cylinders CB1 and CB2.
• The working pressure is then applied on the piston side of the cylinders : the boom is raising.

Pressureless lower boom cylinder


The pressureless lower boom cylinder is used to lower the attachment with a reduced power thanks to its own
weight.
The advantages are :
– a lower fuel consumption.
– a more important oil flow available to do other movements at the same time.
• Move the joystick of right pilot control U22 forward.
• When the attachment does not touch the ground, the weight of the boom applies a pressure on the bottom
side of the cylinders and so on pressure sensor B76. The pressure sensor is on.
• The electronic FSG plate A1020 controls the solenoid valves Y105, Y106 and the regulation solenoid val-
ves YR105, YR106 proportionally to the deflection of the joystick U22 (see priority list in § logic system).
• The control oil flows threw Y105 and Y106 to the port Pst of the two distribution blocks.
• The hydraulic oil can flow from piston bottom to piston rod side through the throttle of the two distribution
blocks and the excess of oil can flow to the tank via the check valve integrated in the two distribution
blocks : the attachment goes down.
• The control valve blocks VB1 and VB2 are connected together so that the oil flow issued from the piston
bottom is equally distributed between the piston rod side of the two cylinders CB1 and CB2.
• When the attachment touches the ground, the pressure on the bottom side of the cylinders decreases.
The pressure sensor B76 switches off.
• The electronic FSG plate A1020 switches off the solenoid valves Y105, Y106 and the regulation solenoid
valves YR105, YR106. The control oil does not flow threw Y105 and Y106 to the port Pst of the two dis-
tribution blocks any more.

Boom down movement


• When the attachment touches the ground, the pressure on the bottom side of the cylinders decreases.
The pressure sensor B76 is switched off.
• Move the joystick of right pilot control U22 forward.
• The electronic FSG plate A1020 controls the solenoid valves Y105, Y106 and the regulation solenoid val-
ves YR105, YR106 proportionally to the deflection of the joystick U22 (see priority list in § logic system).
• The working pumps P1, P2 feed the movement in making the hydraulic oil flows to piston rod side threw
the control valve blocks VB1, VB2. Hydraulic oil return to the tank via the distribution blocks.
• Thanks to a primary pressure relief valve installed on the control valve block VB1 and VB2, the pressure
issued from the working pumps can not exceed 320 bar.
• Due to the secondary pressure relief valve, the pressure can not excees 380 bar in the circuit. These val-
ves prevent mechanical damages due to a too high pressure.

7.0.5.4 Shovel tilt cylinders for shovel attachment


One extremity of both shovel tilt cylinders CBT1 and CBT2 is fixed on the boom; the other extremity is fixed on

ding or retracting the crowd cylinders (parallelogram function). The shovel tilt movements are limited by proxi-
mity transmitters, which detect the cylinders end stroke (see logic system).
The shovel tilt in movement is fed with the three working pumps P1, P2 and P3 through the three control valve

The shovel tilt out movement is fed with the three working pumps P1, P2 and P3 through the three control valve

these three pumps (see priority list in § logic system).
The distribution blocks distribute the oil flow equally between the bucket tilt cylinders CBT1 and CBT2.
Moving the crowd cylinders without simultaneously moving the tilt shovel bucket cylinders will automatically de-
crease relief pressure of the secondary relief valves for the bottom side from 380 bar to 140 bar. With the shovel
bucket at its mechanical front-end stop, this allows the tilt cylinders pistons to yield freely into any position as

Shovel bucket parellelogram function


During crowd movement without simultaneous shovel bucket tilt movement, the relief pressure setting of the
secondary relief valves of the shovel bucket tilt circuit is decreased from 380 bar to 140 bar. This is accom-
plished, depending on direction of movement (crowd retract or extend), by applied servo pressure to the se-
condary relief valves.
If the shovel bucket is not tilted to its mechanical end stop, the tilt cylinders remain at a constant length (no
piston movement) and the attachment linkage operates in a standard parallelogram fashion.

If the shovel buckets rests on its mechanical end stop, the bucket cylinder pistons must be able to yield freely
to accommodate the retract movements of the crowd. This is accomplished by oil going over one of the secon-
dary relief valves with its decreased relief pressure setting of 140 bar.
On the figure, the attachment position shows the configuration for which the pressure of the secondary valve
is used.
The crows is retracting and shovel is at its mechanical stop. Mechanical force will retract the bucket cylinders
and the secondary relief on the piston bottom side opens at 140 bar. To prevent insufficient oil filling at the pis-
ton bottom side of the bucket cylinders, suction valves has been installed on the control valve blocks.
A minimum relief pressure setting of 140 bar is required to support a fully loaded shovel bucket and to keep
system power demand to a minimum.

7.0.5.5 Shovel flap cylinders for shovel attachment


One extremity of the both shovel flap cylinders CF1 and CF2 is fixed on the shovel back; the other extremity is
fixed on the flap. These cylinders close or open the flap. The shovel tilt movements are limited by : proximity
transmitters, which detect the cylinders end stroke (see logic system).
The flap opening movement is fed with the working pump P3 through the control valve block VB3.
The shovel closing movement is fed with the working pump P3 through the control valve block VB3.
Thanks to a primary pressure relief valve installed on the control valve block, the pressure issued from the wor-
king pump can not exceed 320 bars.

They turn the track chains via the travel gears and sprocket.
The right travel movement is fed with the working pump P2 through the control valve block VB2.

If there is no movement in addition to the travel movement and if the two pedals which command the travel of
each side of the excavator are at least pushed at 10%, the plate A1020 switches the solenoid valve Y144 (in
valve block 3). Then the pump P3 feeds also the left and the right travel movements.

7.0.6.2 Primary pressure relief valve controlled with pilot pressure


For a more efficient travel function, the primary pressure relief valves are controlled with the servo pressure.
As soon as a travel command is actuated, the servo pressure is applied on the corresponding primary pressure
relief valve that is then adjusted at 350 bar instead of 320 bar. It means that for a left travel movement (respec-
tively for a right travel movement), the primary pressure relief valve located in the valve block VB1 (respectively
in the valve block VB2) takes a value of 350 bar instead of 320 bar.

7.0.6.3 Hydraulic braking


Releasing the foot pedals will automatically return them to neutral position. This is sufficient to stop the machine
on a level surface.
Run away of the machine travelling down a slope is prevented by the automatically acting brake valves inte-
grated in each travel motor. The maximum travel speed cannot be exceeded.
The brake valve BV for travel, integrated in each travel motor, prevents the hydraulic motor from overspeeding
when travelling downhill.

MJFCIFSS
Attachment / Travel systems Service Manual

• The left figure shows the forward travel functioning of an hydraulic motor in standard conditions. The
pumps feed the travel motor threw the rotary connection RC. The high pressure switches the brake valve
and allows the oil issued of the motor to go to the tank.
• The right figure shows the forward travel functioning of an hydraulic motor during a steep downhill travel.
The motor, driven by the sprocket, works like a pump. When the pressure issued from the working pumps
becomes too low (<40 bar) the brake valve BV begins to switch in central position and so restricts the oil
flow issued from the motor : the hydraulic braking is beginning. Nevertheless if the pressure continues to
decrease (<20 bar) due to a too high motor speed, the brake valve BV swithves completely in central po-
sition. The oil issued of the motor can no more go to the tank. In that case, the motor is blocked. A maxi-
mum hydraulic braking is achieved. If the motor continues to turn despite the hydraulic braking, the
pressure cut off valve (380 bar) allows the oil to circulate and so prevents mechanical damages int the
circuit. The hydraulic braking works alike for backward travel.
• In case of forward (resp. backward) travel, the left (resp. backward) travel, the left (resp. right) pressure
cut off valve protects the circuit.

7.0.6.4 Travel braking


The travel braking is done with disk brakes that are integrated in the travel gears FAT. The disk brakes act
directly on the gear drive. They are used as a spring applied brake and are vented hydraulically, i.e. if there is
no brake pressure, the disks are pressed together by springs and the brake is mechanically closed.
The brake is negatively acting, hydraulically actuated and serves as a holding or parking brake.
The travel brake is actuated as soon as the travel pedal corresponding to the movement returns to neutral po-
sition.
As soon as the travel pedal corresponding to the movement is actuated, a part of the oil under high pressure
issued of the working pumps flows from the port Br ext to the brakes thew a valve (see the precedent figure :
purple line). This valve prevents the pressure going to the brake exceed 30 bar and to do damage to the disks.

7.0.6.5 Travel speed increase


The hydraulic motors mounted to the travel gears can work with two different displacements :
• Position 1 : maximum cubic capacity (maximum oil volume), this resulting in maximum track forces com-

bined with moderate travel speed.


• Position 2 : minimum cubic capacity (minimum oil volumes), this resulting in reduced track forces combi-
ned with maximum travel speed.

The travel speed increase is actuated by pushing the button S21.


When this push button is turned off, the two indicator lights are off.
When this push button is turned on, the left indicator light 1 is on.
The travel speed increase is available for all movements except for the swing movements of the undercarriage.
The travel speed increase is available for forward travel and automatic for backward travel.

• The left figure shows the hydraulic schematic when travelling in position 1 (moderate travel speed). A part
of the oil under high pressure issued from the working pumps flows to the rod side of the positioning piston
of the hydraulic motor (green line). The motor is then in position 1 (Maximum cubic capacity).
• The right figure shows the hydraulic schematic when travelling in position 2 (maximum travel speed). The
solenoid valve Y94 located in SU1 limits the servo oil pressure to 25 bar and send it in the rotary connec-
tion RC. From there the oil goes to the speed control valve (SCV) via the overspeed shut off valve UBV
(orange line). The speed control valve (SCV) is then switched and allows the piston to be supplied with

R 9250 from 13466 7 - 65

the same pressure on its bottom side and on its rod side. As the piston bottom side surface is bigger as
the piston rod side surface, the piston goes up. The motor is then shifted in position 2 (Maximum travel
speed).

• The left figure shows the hydraulic schematic of the switch from maximum travel speed (position 2) to mo-
derate travel speed (position 1) during travel with difficult ground conditions. The pumps feed the travel
motor threw the rotary connection RC. As the ground conditions are difficult, the high pressure increases.
The overspeed shut off valve UBV is connected to the high pressure via the port P1. As soon as the high
pressure reaches 350 bar, the overspeed shut off valve UBV is switched. The oil issued from the solenoid
valve Y94 can no more push the speed control valve SCV. The piston bottom side is no more under pres-
sure. The hydraulic motor is shifted down in position 1 (moderate travel speed). In that case, even if the
push button is turn on, the motor is in position 1 (moderate travel speed). While the high pressure is grea-
ter than 120 bar, the overspeed shut off valve UBV will stay in «closed» position. It will be switched in
«opened» position as soon as the pressure issued from the motor is lower than 120 bar. The hydraulic
motor is shifted up in position 2 (maximum travel speed).
• The right figure shows the hydraulic schematic of the switch from maximum travel speed (position 2) to
moderate travel speed (position 1) during steep downhill. As in case described by the figure of the motor,
driven by the sprocket, works like a pump. If the action of the braking valve is not sufficient, the pressure
of the oil issued of the motor will continue to increase. The overspeed shut off valve UBV is connected to
this pressure via the port P1. As soon as the pressure reaches 350 bar, the overspeed shut off valve UBV
is switched. The oil issued from the solenoid valve Y94 can no more push the speed control valve SCV.
The piston bottom side is no more under pressure. The hydraulic motor is shifted down in position 1 (mo-
derate travel speed). In that case, even if the push button is turn on, the motor is in position 1 (moderate
travel speed). While the pressure issued from the motor is greater than 120 bar, the overspeed shut off
valve HV will stay in «closed» position. It will be switched in «opened» position as soon as the pressure
issued from the motor is lower than 120 bar. The hydraulic motor is shifted up in position 2 (maximum
travel speed).

Determination of extension and retraction time with the chart


Extension and retraction speed of a cylinder can be read directly on overleaf chart, if knowing the values for D
(piston diameter), d (piston rod diameter), H (piston stroke) and Q (oil flow per cylinder), see examples over-
leaf :

Notice : For values D, d and H, refer to the subgroup «hydraulic cylinder chart».
Q is the oil flow per cylinder. Cut in two the flow of the pumps (the pumps feeds always two cy-
linders).
Take into account the difference between the oil flow to extend or retract the cylinders (the num-
ber of feeding pumps is not the same for extend or retract the cylinders : see chart on next sheet).
If necessary, take into accounts the installed pump flow reduction for the corresponding move-
ment.
The oil flows given in the chart next sheet is for nominal Rpm of diesel engine and hydraulic
pumps in new condition.
To consider overleaf chart, you must make sure that the system pressures remain below regu-
lation begin. Otherwise electronic horsepower limiter (as an example, this may happen due to
cushioning devices when cylinder is nearly fully extended or retracted), would reduce pump flow.

7.0.7.3 Control valve block leak oil measurement


The amount of leak oil in a spool valve of a control valve block is determined by measuring the extension or
retraction speed of a hydraulic cylinder connected to this spool valve.
The maximum permissible leak oil quantity in the control valve should be checked at a load pressure of 150
bar and at an oil temperature of 50°C (122°F).
Before any leak oil test on the control valves, always check the secondary valves and the attachments cylinders
separately, because the quantity given in the leak oil chart is only for leakage of the control valves.
To check, install a 600 bar pressure gauge in the appropriate line between the attachment cylinder and the
control valve. Actuate the attachment cylinder several times all the way and extend the cylinder until a pressure
of 150 bar is shown on the pressure gauge (if necessary, add weight). Joystick in neutral position, mark the
piston rod and measure the piston rod travel per minute.
Compare the measurement with the maximum permissible piston rod travel given on the chart.
Use the chart overleaf to determine the maximal allowable speed of the hydraulic cylinder, and / or the actual
leak oil amount in the spool valve.
For the maximal allowable leak oil quantity, refer to the page «technical data» of the corresponding control val-
ve block.

MJFCIFSS
Service Manual Attachment / Travel systems

Notice : The chart overleaf can be used directly every time one hydraulic cylinder receives oil via one
spool valve.
If more that one spool valves is connected to the cylinder, you must multiply the maximum
allowable speed with the number of spool valves.
If two hydraulic cylinders are fed simultaneously with the same control valves, the maximum
allowable speed must be divided by two.

Example
On R9250, the two boom cylinders (piston diameter D = 320 mm and rod diameter d = 220 mm) are controlled
by 2 spool valves of control valve block 4MO40 and by 1 spool valve of control valve block 4MO32 for extension
and for retraction.
For the spool valves of the control valve block 4MO40, the maximum permissible leak oil per spool valve is 400
cm3/min.
For the spool valve of the control valve block 4MO32, the maximum permissible leak oil per spool valve is 280
cm3/min.
• a maximum permissible retraction speed of one cylinder with one spool valve of a control valve block

Conception
The control valve block contains, in a compact housing, directional valves necessary for the travel and attach-
ments movements of the machine and also pressure relief valves for the various circuits, such as :
– Four hydraulically actuated spool valves (14 and 15), which distribute the hydraulic flow from the main hy-
draulic pumps to the various cylinders or motors.
– One primary pressure relief valve 28 (pilot operated) controls the pressure between the main pumps and
the control valves. This valve is installed on the upper housing, directly above the high pressure connection.
– Six (or seven) secondary pressure relief valves 30 located on the spools 15 (or on the spools 14 and 15).
These valves limit the secondary pressure limit the secondary pressure to the adjusted maximum pressure
settings. They are mounted with anti-cavitation check valves 29.
– Eight proportional -pressure reducing valves 34 (two on of each spool). These valves determine the spools
position proportionally to the current, which they receive.
– Eight 3/2 way directional valves 35 (two on of each spool). Mounted in line with the proportional valves, the-
se valves ensure that the spool is in neutral position when no current is sent.

Function
Spool valves in neutral position
In neutral position, the connections between user and pumps and user and tank are closed.
The hydraulic oil from pumps comes to the pressure port of the control valve block. Nearly without pressure, it
flows threw the spools 14 and 15 to connection T. Then the oil returns to the tank.
Working position of spool valves
If a spool valve is moved from its neutral position, the connection from pump to user is opened and restricts at
the same time the flow to the tank.
The pump pressure rises until it reaches the pressure on the user connection. Oil starts to flow to the user.
When the spool valve moves further, the connection from pump to tank closes off and opens the connection
for the returning oil from the user to the tank.
The total oil flow from the pump is now available for the user.
The movement of the spool valve depends only on the available control pressure. This control pressure can be
changed continuously depending on the movement of the appropriate joystick (see description and function in
sub group Pilot Control System).
Due to a negative spool overlap, together with the metering notches, the oil flows to the users and thus all wor-
king and travel movements can be controlled by pistons in the control blocks.
Springs, which are installed on the upper end of the spool, return the spools to neutral position if control pres-
sure is not available.
Internal leakage on a user connection under pressure are influenced by the overlap and the play between hou-
sing and piston.

Conception
The control valve block contains, in a compact housing, directional valves necessary for the travel and attach-
ments movements of the machine and also pressure relief valves for the various circuits, such as :
– Four hydraulically actuated spool valves (14 and 15), which distribute the hydraulic flow from the main hy-
draulic pumps to the various cylinders or motors.
– One primary pressure relief valve 28 (pilot operated) controls the pressure between the main pumps and
the control valves. This valve is installed on the upper housing, directly above the high pressure connection.
– One secondary pressure relief valve 30 located on a spool 15. This valve limit the secondary pressure limit
the secondary pressure to the adjusted maximum pressure settings. It is mounted with anti-cavitation check
valves 29.
– Eight proportional - pressure reducing valves 34 (two on of each spool). These valves determine the spools
position proportionally to the current, which they receive.
– Eight 3/2 way directional valves 35 (two on of each spool). Mounted in line with the proportional valves, the-
se valves ensure that the spool is in neutral position when no current is sent.

Function
Spool valves in neutral position
In neutral position, the connections between user and pumps and user and tank are closed.
The hydraulic oil from pumps comes to the pressure port of the control valve block. Nearly without pressure, it
flows threw the spools and to connection T. Then the oil returns to the tank.
Working position of spool valves
If a spool valve is moved from its neutral position, the connection from pump to user is opened and restricts at
the same time the flow to the tank.
The pump pressure rises until it reaches the pressure on the user connection. Oil starts to flow to the user.
When the spool valve moves further, the connection from pump to tank closes off and opens the connection
for the returning oil from the user to the tank.
The total oil flow from the pump is now available for the user.

Adjustment

The movement of the spool valve depends only on the available control pressure. This control pressure can be
changed continuously depending on the movement of the appropriate joystick (see description and function in
sub group Pilot Control System).
Due to a negative spool overlap, together with the metering notches, the oil flows to the users and thus all wor-
king and travel movements, can be controlled by pistons in the control blocks.
Springs, which are installed on the upper end of the spool, return the spools to neutral position if control pres-
sure is not available.
Internal leakage on a user connection under pressure are influenced by the overlap and the play between hou-
sing and piston.

7.1.3 Hydraulic cylinder

7.1.3.1 Construction of hydraulic cylinders


See diagramm in § 6.3.8 and 6.3.9.
Liebherr hydraulic cylinders for earth moving machines are classified as differential cylinders.
The cylinders extend when hydraulic oil is pumped to the piston bottom side and retracts when oil is pumped
on the piston rod side.
The hydraulic cylinder consists of a cylinder housing 10 with welded cylinder bottom and bearing mount, piston
rod bearing 13, which is mounted with screws and is also the cylinder head, and piston rod 8 with bearing mount
and piston 12.
To seal the cylinders, O-rings with support rings, as well as seals in piston 12 and piston rod bearing 13 are
installed. The wiper ring in the piston rod bearing 13 protects the piston rod 8 from contamination.
Guide rings are installed on the piston 12 and piston rod bearing 13.

MJFCIFSS
Attachment / Travel systems Service Manual
Adjustment

7.1.3.2 Function
The maximum force depends on the actuated area and on the maximum permissible operating pressure (pri-
mary valve) :
To extend : the piston surface.
To retract : the rod surface.
The force is greater when extending than when retracting the cylinder because of the surface difference.
The speed of the extending or retracting cylinder depends on the oil quantity and surface area. It works in re-
verse to the force, i.e., it is faster when retracting the cylinder than when extending the cylinder.
The Liebherr hydraulic cylinders differ in the required stroke, diameter and damper system.
We use cushioned and non-cushioned hydraulic cylinders in our excavators.
The non-cushioned hydraulic cylinders are used mainly for outriggers and for certain (little used) attachment
cylinder (as grapples and cylinders for street travel). These cylinders are also mounted on the excavators
equipped with proximity transmitters. These excavators reduce automatically the oil flow coming to the cylin-
ders when they reaches their end stroke (see also logic system).
On single cushioned cylinders (when extending the piston rod) the cushioning sleeve 9 moves shortly before
the piston 12 stops on the piston rod bearing 13, into the piston rod bearing and reduces the diameter. This
greatly reduces the extension speed, see also description of function.

7.1.3.3 Function of hydraulic cylinder

To extend piston rod 8


The hydraulic oil from the control valves flows to the bottom side of cylinder 10 and actuates piston 12. The
piston rod extends and displaces the hydraulic oil in the piston rod side via control valve to the tank.
With single cushined cylinders : shortly before the end of the stroke, the cushioning sleeve 9 moves into the
cushioning bore on piston rod bearing 13. When cushioning sleeve 9 moves into the bore, the diameter is re-
duced, i.e. the oil returns from the hydraulic cylinder to the control valve via grooves in the sleeve 9. Because
of this restriction of return oil, the piston rod movement is slowed down and cushioned.

To retract the piston rod 8


The hydraulic oil from the control valves flows to the piston rod side of cylinder 10 and actuates piston 12. The
piston rod retracts and displaces the hydraulic oil on the piston bottom side via the control valves to the tank.
With single cushioned cylinders : the hydraulic oil from the control valve flows to piston rod bearing 13, pushes
on the cushioning sleeve 9 and, via the clearance between cushioning sleeve 9 and piston rod 8, radial bore
holes and grooves in the cushioning sleeve, on piston 12.
The piston rod retracts and displaces the hydraulic oil on the piston bottom side via the control valves to the
tank.

7.1.3.4 General maintenance

Anti-rotation protection
• Shop conservation :
Hydraulic cylinders made by the MH group are internally preserved for up to half a year by the testing fluid used.
Longer storage periods are to be stated on the order form.
For a one-year-storage, cylinders will be tested with an anti-corrosion-protective oil; either ARAL Konit W10
(alternatively Resilan M 46) or ESSO Rustban 335, and finally emptied again.
When a storing period longer than one year is requested, cylinders will be delivered with an oil filling of above
mentioned quality.
However, the storing instructions as under paragraph 3 are prerequisites for any period.
In case the cylinders are meant to be stored for more than 2 years it is highly recommended to consult the ma-
nufacturer.
• Sealing :
The anti-corrosion-protection is only effective when airtight closing of all ports is ensured : Four-bolt flanges are
sealed with a synthetic plug retained by a metal plate; pipe- and thread connections are plugged with synthetic
couplings or plug caps.
Cylinders, which cannot be, emptied completely (e.g. cylinders with hollow rods) and oil-filled cylinders (such
as tele rams) will be plugged-off oiltight using plug screws with integrated seal rings for female threads and plug
caps with spigot nuts for threaded pipe ends.
• Surface protection :
External surfaces such as flange surfaces, bearings, untreated cylinder barrels and also the exposed rod end
section, in case the rod has no other corrosion protection, are all treated with ARAL Resilan WA or ESSO Rust-
ban 397.
In addition, when plunger cylinders are concerned, the plunger rod, its guiding parts and cylinder bore interior
surface are treated with an anti-corrosion-protective. All hydraulic cylinders will be dispatched coated with a
proven versatile primer, if not otherwise specified by the client.

Transportation
• In preparation for transportation the hydraulic cylinders must be handled and packaged carefully. Any kind
of impact, including bumping against each other must be avoided by using adequate handling auxiliaries
and methods and also suitable packaging materials.
• Rods are to be secured adequately against self-extending.
• All ports are to be plugged (acc. to 1.2).
• Whenever rods project out of the cylinder like on twin-rod-cylinders, the projecting rod end must be pro-
tected against any damage by using appropriate packaging materials. Any contact with acids, which may
ham the chromium plating, must be strictly avoided.

R 9250 from 13466 7 - 99


MJFCIFSS
Attachment / Travel systems Service Manual
Adjustment

Storage
• Upon delivery the customer should check for any damage resulting from transportation. Damaged plugs
are to be renewed and damaged coating is to be touched-up, immediately.
• Hydraulic cylinders should only be stored in a dry, dust- and steam-free room at a constant temperature
ranging between 10 and 20°C.
• After the first year of storage the cylinders should be rotated (about 90°) in order to shift possible air bub-
bles and simultaneously re-oil these dried zones.

Installation
• In case hydraulic cylinders have been stored for longer than 2 years, the manufacturer should be contac-
ted, because for some types it may be necessary to replace the seal kit prior to installation.
• In general, hydraulic cylinders may be installed in any desired position.
• In order to prevent premature wear or operational disturbances the hydraulic cylinders are to be installed
tension-free and without lateral forces acting.
• Before connecting the hydraulic cylinders to the system all lines should be thoroughly flushed using sui-
table cleansing agents in order to remove any possible deposits.
• External preservatives are to be removed using benzine or petroleum ether.

Start up
• Regarding the little remaining anti-corrosion protective adhering to the cylinder’s internal surfaces, clean-
sing is not necessary, because it is compatible with most used mineral-oil-based pressure fluids. Cylin-
ders filled with protective oil are to be emptied and re-filled with the operating fluid, before taken into
operation. In order to achieve maximum endurance and operating reliability the operating fluid should be
(filtered grade nominal 10 µm).
• Only proven trademark brands of mineral-based-oils acc. to DIN 51524 and DIN 51525 should be used.
Whenever other hydraulic fluids are meant to be used, the manufacturer should be consulted first. The
rod should be free of any kind of deposits e.g. paint rests, dirt etc. resulting from installation. Otherwise
cleaning is necessary.
• Some cylinder types require locking the rod eye on-site.
• Before taken into operation the cylinder is to be vented at both ends stop position (screw 23) repeatedly
until the operating fluid excludes free of air bubbles.
• The hydraulic cylinders are suitable for an operating temperature range of -10°C to +80°C unless speci-
fied otherwise. In case the temperature exceeds this range please contact the manufacturer.

Maintenance
• The rod’s normal chromium layer does not provide an everlasting corrosion protection against aggressive
environmental influences, so therefore maintenance is important, especially when the rod remains in ex-
tended position.
• It is recommended to check the oil filter repeatedly during the start-up period.
• In general, following above-mentioned instructions as a prerequisite, MH hydraulic cylinders are designed
to be maintenance-free during operation.

7.1.4 Primary valve : Pilot operated pressure limiting valve

7.1.4.1 Use
If the resistance, which acts against the load in a hydraulic system, were to rise to an undesirable and unac-
ceptable level, the weakest point in the hydraulic system would be destroyed. To prevent this, an artificial weak
point, a kind of circuit breaker (relief) is added. The object is locate this hydraulic component, which is initially
held in a closed position by adjustable spring pressure, so the fluctuating system of the whole hydraulic pres-
sure circuit can act on it. An increase in system pressure above the pressure setting of the relief valve lifts off
the poppet, ball or piston and directs the excess pressurized fluid, supplied by the pump but not accepted by
the end user, back to the tank. The hydraulic energy produced in this process is converted into heat.
This hydraulic component a pilot operated pressure-limiting valve (primary valve).
These cartridge types primary pressure relief valves in the control valve are located in front of the first piston.
A direct acting relief valve is installed as a control part in the pilot operated pressure relief valve, which triggers
an impulse to the second, larger valve. Both valves are normally open.
A characteristic of this valve is that once the valve has started to relieve and is contaminated; no further in-
crease in pressure is possible. This protects the system and damage to the components is avoided.

7.1.4.2 Function
During operation, the system pressure pushes against the front side of piston 31. The same pressure is simul-
taneously applied via orifice A on the backside of piston 31, and via orifice B to poppet 33. Springs 32 and 14
move piston 31 and poppet 33 into closed position.
As soon as the system pressure exceeds the pressure setting of spring 14, the poppet 33 is lifted off its seat,
and some fluid escapes into the return line via orifice D. The previous static condition is now dynamic as fluid
is trying to flow via orifice A in order to compensate for the loss of volume and pressure. The size of the orifice
prevents immediate compensation, and a temporary difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the
main piston 31 exists.
The difference in pressure causes the system pressure, which is still pushing against the front of piston 31, to
lift the piston from its seat and large amounts of fluid can return to the tank via connection C.

7.1.5.1 Use
The basic function and working principle of a two-stage relief valve is the same as the primary relief valve. In
order to have a higher pressure for certain functions -translation for R 9250- the standard relief valves are re-
placed with two-stage relief valves.

7.1.5.2 Function

Stage I - Reduced pressure


At this position NO servo pressure is applied to the piston 12 via the connection X.
The pressure of the spring 21 keeps the pistons 12 and 13 in the original position, which means that as long
as the piston 12 contacts the shoulder of the adjustment screw 11, the spring 21 retains a preload equal to the
« reduced pressure».

Stage II - High pressure


A servo pressure is applied to the piston 12.
This pressure increases the preload on the spring 21 to the «high pressure» by pushing the two pistons 35 and
36 down.

A characteristic of this valve is that once the valve has started to relieve and is contamined, no further increase

7.1.7 Secondary valve : 2-stage pilot operated pres. limiting valve


The basic function and working principle of a two-stage secondary relief valve is the same as the secondary
relief valve.
A second stage, hydraulic controlled via pressure port is added to the standard relief valve in order to obtain a
reduced hydraulic system pressure for certain functions (two stage relief valve).
For use and function of pilot controlled pressure relief valve 9, refer to subgroup primary relief valve.

7.1.7.1 Function of pressure cut off

Stage 2 (normal pressure = high pressure)


At this position, no servo pressure is applied to connection Pst and the working surface of control piston 11 is
at tank pressure via the bore «a».
The force of spring 28 pushes the piston 11 to the left.
In this position, the pretension of spring 16 is maximal and so is the relief pressure.

Cut off stage or stage 1 (low pressure)


Servo pressure can be applied to connection «Pst». It depends on specific application.
The pressure Pst builds up on working surface of control piston 11, which is pushed against the spring 28, this
decreasing the pretension of the springs 16 and thus the relief pressure.

Pressure check and adjustment


For know how to measure pressure in circuit of relief valve, refer to subgroup «Adjustment».
To check and adjust high pressure (stage 2)
– Be sure that connection «Pst» is at tank pressure (otherwise you could screw in all way to the stop the ad-
justment screw 10).
– Unlock the nut 13.
– Turning adjustment screw 9 clockwise increases the relief pressure - stage 2.
One turn = 150 bar.
– Turning adjustment screw 9 counterclockwise decreases the relief pressure - stage 2.

7.1.8 Suction valve

7.1.8.1 Task and function


Check valves, used as suction valves, are integrated into the compact control valve block.
The suction valves compensate for any loss of hydraulic oil, which may be created by secondary relief valve
action by drawing oil from the return line, thus preventing cavitation.

Sealing or closing function


The operating / load pressure in the corresponding working circuit A or B acts upon the surface of spring side
valve poppet 6. the action of the spring side of the valve poppet 6 and the additional spring force keep the pop-
pet in closed position. The working circuit A or B is closed off leak oil free from the tank return connection T.

Suction function
If there is insufficient oil (cavitation) in the user circuit, then the pressure difference between connection A / B
(vacuum) and connection T (tank pre-pressurization) create a force onto the front surface of valve poppet 6.
This causes the valve poppet 6 to lift off its seat and to permit oil to flow from tank connection T into the working
circuit A / B, in order to compensate for the oil loss.

7.1.8.2 Repairs
Remove the complete valve if leaks are found, replace the o-ring. Unscrew the valve guide 7 to replace the o-
ring 9 and the spring 8.

7.1.9 Geared pump


The geared pump P8, P9, P10.1 and P10.2 supply respectively the splitterbox lube circuit, the control oil circuit
and the replenishing oil circuit.

7.1.9.1 Principle

The functioning principle of a geared pump is illustrated by the following drawing.


This pump is made of a leading gear (1) which drags a second gear (2) both located in a housing. The gears
rotate in opposite sense and engage on a point located on the aspiration and discharge opening axe :

In A, the gears separate creating partial vacuum filled with hydraulic oil. The liquid is hold between the teeth
and the housing and transferred in B where it flows through ß. The precise gear engagement secures the oil-
tightness between the aspiration and discharging opening and minimises the internal leakage.

7.1.9.2 Maintenance and repair


Some oil leakage can be found at the gear pump. To replace the faulty seal kit, remove the screw 16 and chan-
ge the defective seal kit.
The gear pump does not require further maintenance.

The graphic shows the signal delivered to the solenoid valves as a function of the pilot control unit output signal.
To explain this graphic, we take for example a movement in the direction X+.
For a deflection included between 0 and 10%, the joystick output signal has a value of 12 mA. In this range,
the FSG plate does not send any current to the solenoid valves «Y...» and «Yr...» which are then closed. There
is no movement.
For a deflection included between 10% and 90%, the joystick output signal is included approx. between 13 and
19 mA. In this range, the FSG plate sends a current included between lmin and lmax to the solenoid valves.
This current is proportional to the joystick output signal. The switching solenoid valve «Y...» is opened and the
regulation solenoid valve «Yr...» is opened proportionally to the joystick output signal : the speed of the move-
ment is proportional to the joystick deflection. The lmin and lmax values are adjusted when the excavator gets
mounted (see the part adjustment).
For a deflection included between 90 and 100%, the joystick output signal is included approx. between 19 and
20 mA. In this range, the FSG plate sends a current greater than lmax to the solenoid valves. The switching
solenoid valve «Y...» is opened and the regulation solenoid valve «Yr...» is fully opened : a maximal speed
movement is achieved.
As a conclusion, the functioning range of the joystick corresponds to a deflection included between 10% and
90%.
The FSG plate A1020 elaborates the switching logic which determines the priority for the different pump flows
in case of simultaneity of movements via the switching solenoid valves «Y...» (see schedule chapter logic sys-
tem).
