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.
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 312
and collects oil to and from the cylinder
block. 313
885
The oil changed over by the valve plate is
connected to an external pipeline by way
of the valve block.
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
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) REGULATOR
Regulator consists of the negative flow control, total horse power control and power shift control
function.
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 press, 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.

ںAdjustment of flow control characteristic
The flow control characteristic can be
adjusted with the adjusting screw.
Adjust it by loosening the hexagon 801

nut(801) and by tightening(or loosening)
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
Delivery flow, Q
with 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 simul
Delivery press, (P1+P2)
taneous 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 = P1ţq/2ॏ + P2ţq/2ॏ
= (P1+P2)ţq/2ॏ
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.

ںLow 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(٤4) protruding from the large hole(٤8), only the
lever lessening the tilting angle contacts the pin(897) ; the hole(٤8) 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.
ڻAdjustment 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.

b. Adjustment of inner spring

Adjust it by loosening the hexagon nut

the adjusting screw QI(925).
