1. Usage Precautions (1)How to Handle the Product When transporting or storing this product, be sure to handle it with the output shaft directing downward and placing the product in an upright position. Whenever lifting a unit, screw in a clean lifting tool to the make-up port (G1) at the motor cover center to lift the unit using this lifting tool. In particular, do not try to lift the relieve valve by hanging a wire on it. Otherwise, excessive load will be applied to the valve, deforming it and, thus inducing its malfunction. (2)Pipes Dimensions required for the pipe fittings are previously determined from the external shape diagram. A hose or steel pipe must be used as the pipe. Make sure it is shaped in such a way that excessive force is not applied to the pipe installation position. In addition, before laying a pipe, be sure to remove the rubber cap seal on the port. A large diameter pipe must be used for the drain pipe in order to reduce pressure in the motor case. Reasonable care must be exercised when connecting the drain pipe to a return pipe of another piece of equipment, since a sudden inflow or outflow of oil can induce abnormal back pressure in the motor case, damaging the oil seal and other components. Set the pressure in the motor case in such a way that the peak pressure remains at a maximum of 0.3 MPa. (3)Hydraulic Oil, Grease and Gear Oil

Hydraulic oil Recommended hydraulic oil: ISO VG#32 - 56 or equivalent wear-resistant mineral oil type hydraulic oil that satisfies the following viscosity and temperature requirements. Recommended operating viscosity range:10 - 200 mm2/s Maximum allowable viscosity at start: 1000 mm2/s Allowable operating temperature range:-30 - +95°C Note: Contact us when using biodegradable hydraulic oil. Biodegradable hydraulic oil or hydraulic oil of low friction type can reduce the performance and durability.

Grease About 1 L of Shell Albania EP2 is filled in the delivered product. Be sure to use the above or equivalent when refilling or replacement is required. Refilling timing:250 hours for the first time It is recommended that grease is replaced every 1000 hours after that. Note: In the process of filling the grease, internal pressure can damage the oil seal on the reduction gear. Thus, it is necessary to open the plug of the air bleed port before beginning the filling.

Gear oil About 5 L of Hypoid Gear 90 from Shin Nihon Sekiyu is filled in the delivered product. (Up to the center of the level gauge) Be sure to use the above or equivalent when refilling or replacement is required. Allowable minimum viscosity:30 mm2/s Refilling timing:250 hours for the first time It is recommended that grease is replaced every 1000 hours after that.

(4)Preliminary Run

As the pipe laying is completed, flush the pipe sufficiently and then reconfirm the state of the installed parts along the circuit. Bleed air in the motor case and then fill it with hydraulic oil. Running the motor leaving the motor case empty may result in internal damage. After making sure that every thing is acceptable, run the motor without load and at a low speed for 10 to 15 minutes to make sure abnormal noises or vibrations do not occur. Then gradually increase the speed while applying load. (5)Mechanical Brake

Use the mechanical brake as the parking brake.

Its kinetic use or using it from a slipped state may result in abnormal wear on the brake plate. (6)Relief Valve

The following shows the relation between the relief valve set pressure and adjusting shims. If, however, confirmation of the set pressure is not available, do not try to make any adjustment.

Amount of adjustment available from shim of 0.1 mm Approximately 0.5 MPa

2. Equipment Configuration

3. Structure and Operating Principles (The numbers in parentheses correspond to those in the sectional structural diagram.) [1] Hydraulic motor The rotary group is made up of one-piece drive shaft and the cylinder (24) and 9 pistons assembly (7) positioned on the cylinder (24). Also, the cylinder (24) is supported at both ends with bearings (3) and (22). The piston assembly (7) is guided by the return plate (6) and receiving spring (4) so that it slides smoothly on the cam plate (5). Also, the balance plate (21) is pressed against the end of the cylinder (24) by the hydraulic pressure operating on the force of the Scrowave spring (18) and bushing (20). The mechanical brakes (8), (9), (11) and (13), that are used as the parking brakes, are provided in the space between the perimeter of the cylinder (24) and housing (25). And the relief valve (35) for the cushioning function and make up valves (38), (39) and (40) for the cavitation prevention are built in the cover (32).

[2] Explanation of hydraulic motor operation

Pressurized oil fed by the pump through the control valve or the like enters from A port (or B port) on the cover (32) and is discharged from the B port (or A port).

Also, the oil that has leaked through the sliding sections and the gap is returned to the hydraulic tank from the oil drain port "a" on the cover (32).

The pressurized oil fed to the A port is fed to cylinder (24) piston hole "f" through path "b" in the cover (32), path "c" of the bushing (20) section in the cover (32), the balance plate (21) path "d" that has a crescent shaped port that switches between feed and discharge every 180° of rotation of the motor, and the cylinder (24) path "e".

The pressurized oil operates on the piston assembly (7) and the piston assembly (7) is pressed against the cam plate (5) through the shoe. The cam plate (5) shoe sliding surface has a constant angle of inclination. Thus, the piston assembly (7) pressing force generated by the pressurized oil is converted into the force that slides the shoe on the swash plate. The piston assembly (7) shoe spherical section is coupled as a free joint, so the force that slides the shoe on the swash plate is transmitted to the motor output shaft section as rotation force through the cylinder (24).

In this way, each the piston assembly (7), receiving pressurized oil during its stroke from the top dead center to bottom dead center of the slope face, converts this hydraulic pressure force to rotation force to rotate the cylinder (24) and then discharge oil in the stroke from the bottom dead center to the top dead center. The discharge path is the reverse of the above pressurized oil feed path. Namely the oil is discharged from the B port.

In this way, the hydraulic motor is operated. The hydraulic motor output torque is determined by the hydraulic pressure force and speed is determined by the quantity of oil being supplied. [3] Explanation of reduction gear structure and operation

The power transmitted from the hydraulic motor output shaft is transmitted to the 2nd stage sun gear (72) through the 1st stage sun gear (76), planetary gear (79), and holder 1 (81). At the same time, the power is transmitted to the output shaft (61) via 2nd stage sun gear (72), planetary gear (84), and holder 2 (87). The output shaft (61) is supported in the gear case (66) by 2 bearings (65) and (71).

Also, in order to protect the output side bearing (65), which is exposed to severe load conditions, from gear wear powder, the oil seal (70) is provided at the center ion of the gear case (66). A chamber side is lubricated with gear oil, and the B chamber side is lubricated with grease. [4] Explanation of mechanical brake operation

The friction plate (8) is spline coupled with the periphery of the cylinder (24). Also, partner plate (9) is coupled with housing (25). When the mechanical brake release chamber pressure is zero, the brake piston (11) presses the friction plate (8) and partner plate (9) with the force of the spring (13) to lock rotation of the cylinder (24) (output shaft).

On the other hand, as oil pressurized to 3.2 - 4.9 MPa worked on the brake release chamber, the brake piston (11), overcoming the spring force, extends its stroke up to the cover (32) end face. This stroke generates a clearance between the friction plate (8) and partner plate (9), thereby releasing the mechanical brake.

[5] Explanation make-up valve operation (1) Half-brake state (The state in which the shockless relief valve (35) is disabled)

Decelerating the currently accelerated swing body by setting the control valve to the half lever position reduces supply of oil from the pump to the A port. However, if the swing body was rotating at a relatively high speed, the pressure comes close to negative at the "c" section due to the motor pump operation, so oil supply becomes necessary. However, if the B port pressure is lower than the operating pressure of the shockless relief valve (35), all the oil flowing into the "c" section from the A port is drained to the control valve via the B port, so with just the quantity of oil from the control valve, the quantity of oil is insufficient for what is absolutely required at the "c" section. (Since the valve is at the half lever position, the quantity of oil from the pump is restricted.) In order to prevent this, the make-up check valve (38) is provided so that the shortfall is supplied to the "c" section from the make-up port.

(2) When the brake operates (The state in which the shockless relief valve (35) is enabled) In the state of (1), if the lever is sharply operated to neutral, the quantity of oil fed from the pump to the A port becomes zero, but the swing body rotates due to inertial force. In this case, B port side the shockless relief valve (35) is enabled. The oil blown by the relief valve passes through oil paths "i" and "h"and pushes open A port side the make-up check valve (38), and is fed to oil paths "b" and "c", but the quantity of this oil falls short by the quantity of oil that leaked down the motor case drain. In order to prevent this from occurring, the make-up check valve (38) is opened from the make-up port to supply oil to oil paths "b" and "c" to prevent cavitation.

[6] Explanation of relief valve operation (Relief valve internal structure diagram) (1) At starting

The pressurized oil fed to the A port by the control valve does not run the motor at the constant rotation because the swing body inertial force is large. And part of the oil flows to B port passing through the shockless relief valve (35), which operates as a safety valve, oil paths "g" and "h" and pushing open B port side check valve (38). A port oil, overcoming the force of spring (47), flows to path "h" pushing open the poppet (46) and passing through path "g" between the seat (45) and poppet (46).

(2) When brake is applied (When the cushioning function is turned on) When the control valve is returned to neutral, the motor discharge oil return path is closed. Immediately after this operation, the motor is rotated with a large inertial force, causing it to function as a pump. This pumping action suctions oil from A port and then tries to discharge it from B port. But discharge of oil is not possible because the control valve return path is closed and, as the result, the B port pressure rises. The increased B port pressure pushes open the poppet (46) resisting the force of the spring (47). Thus, oil from B port flows through oil paths "i" and "h" and then flows into path "c" pushing open the make-up check valve (38). Through these processes the motor gradually comes to a stop absorbing inertial force of the swing body. Also, in the above pressure rise process, the pressurized oil in B port passes through the poppet (46) outer circumference orifice "j", through the small hole path at the center of the piston (51), and then enters the piston chamber, moving the piston (51) to the position where it contacts the end face of the liner (50). Since the poppet (46) has already been pushed open up to this point, the cushion action operates at first with somewhat low pressure and, within a very short span of time, rises to the specified pressure. This 2-stage operation provides the function for reducing the shocks resulting from starting or stopping the motor.
