Location of the Vane pump (pilot and braking)

The vane pump (pilot and braking) is mounted on the steering pump, which is bolted to the implement pump. All three
pumps are driven by the engine. The pumps are located under the cab and on the right side of the transmission.

Cross Section of the Vane pump (pilot and braking)

(1) Inlet from hydraulic oil tank. (2) Outlet port.

The hydraulic pump for the pilot system and for the braking system is a vane pump. The pump provides the oil that is
needed to operate the pilot control valves of the implement hydraulic system and the brake system.

A typical cartridge for a vane pump includes the following components: A plate, an adapter, seal packs, rotor (3), cam
ring (4) and vanes (10) .

First, vanes (10) are pushed against cam ring (4) by centrifugal force. Oil pressure in passages (6) of the rotor (3) will
force the vanes against the cam ring. Both ends of the vanes are connected by the passages. This oil maintains an even
pressure on both ends of the vanes. This oil also permits the oil behind the vanes to escape as the vanes are pushed in.

As rotor (3) turns, the vanes in locations (F) and (G) move outward. The vanes follow the shape of cam ring (7). As the
chamber area between the vanes increases, a low pressure or a low vacuum is created in the chamber. This pressure
difference causes oil to flow from the hydraulic oil tank through inlet (8). The oil fills the space between the vanes at
locations (F) and (G). The oil continues to fill the space through locations (E) and (A) .

Oil between the vanes at locations (E) and (A) will be trapped when the vane at location (E) passes the end of inlet (8).
As rotor (3) continues to turn, the vanes are pushed inward by the contour of cam ring (7). The chamber area between the
vanes now decreases. The oil between the vanes at locations (A) and (B) is pushed into outlet (5) .

The oil continues to be pushed through locations (C) and (D). When the vane at location (C) passes the end of outlet (8),
the cycle is completed.
