Cleaning Procedure
Before a part is inspected, wash the part in a clean solvent made from petroleum. Wash each part separately.
If several parts are washed together, there is a possibility that the machined surface can be damaged. Use
compressed air to dry the part. Put hydraulic oil on the part to prevent rust or corrosion. Put the part in a
clean container. Use a lint-free towel to clean the part before assembly. Be sure to put oil on all of the parts
during assembly.
Inspection Procedure
Piston pump and motor parts have wear patterns that can be seen but not felt by a fingernail or pencil lead
after salvage procedure. This type of wear has no effect on the performance of the part. Unless stated in this
guideline, parts cannot be used again that have wear patterns felt with a fingernail or pencil lead afterm620mfh1
the
salvage procedure. Throughout this guideline, the fingernail or pencil lead inspection will be used to
determine if a part can be used again.
Touch Lapping Procedure

The touch lapping procedure is used on some parts to salvage that part. The touch lapping procedure will not
give a part a “like new” surface or surface flatness. The procedure is used only to remove discoloration and
small surface marks.
Use 4/0 emery polishing paper. Refer to Tool Catalog, PECJ0003, "Cat Hand Tools and Shop Supplies". Put
the emery paper on a ground surface plate ( 7B-0337 Plate) so the paper is smooth. Do not use any other
surfaces.
Wash the part in a clean solvent. Let the part dry at room temperature. Put hydraulic oil on the part and then
put the part in a clean container.
1. Wet the emery paper with a clean solvent made of a petroleum base.
2. Place the part on the emery paper with the surface to be "touch lapped" on the paper.
Touch lapping procedure used on a piston slipper face.
3. Move the part in a pattern tracing out a number "8". More than ten complete number "8" patterns is not
necessary. Refer to Illustration 3.
4. Wash the part in a clean solvent. Let the part dry at room temperature.
5. Put hydraulic oil on the part, and then put the part into a clean container.
NOTICE
When you handle or put pump and motor parts in storage, care must
be taken to prevent damage to the machined surfaces.
Hand Lapping Procedure For Concave Barrels

Some barrel assemblies with bronze, concave seal faces can have discoloration or light scratches. These
m620mfh1
assemblies can be salvaged by hand lapping. Hand lapping does not give parts "like new" surfaces,
Caterpillar: but does
Confidential Yellow
create "near new" surfaces that allow the part to be used again.
Apply compound at several points on sealing surface.
Use Grade A silicon carbide lapping compound that is suspended in a paste type lubricant. Clover
Compound, Thixogenous-Greasemix, or an equivalent is recommended. Apply the compound to several
locations on the surface that is to be lapped. Refer to Illustration 4.
Place the port plate on top of the barrel assembly in an operating position. Apply firm pressure downward on
the port plate while sliding plate back and forth in a circular motion. At the same time, rotate the barrel
m620mfh1
assembly. Refer to Illustration 5. After a brief time, the lapping compound will lose lubricity (lubrication
capability) and become dry. At this time, apply more compound. Caterpillar: Confidential Yellow
When the discoloration and light scratches are removed, thoroughly clean the components to remove lapping
compound before using again. A clear solvent is recommended.
Barrel and port plate after hand lapping.
Power Lapping Procedure

Power lapping can remove wear patterns and surface scratches, providing a "near new" surface flatness on
parts. The power lapping machine can be used on a wide range of parts that require flat, smooth surfaces.
Power lapping can produce lap flat surfaces within tolerances of one light band ( 2.95 µm (116 microinch)).
Consistent surface finishes of 2 to 3 RMS with absolute uniformity are easily attained.
Lapping machines are easy to operate. However, some general guidelines must be followed.
1. Check the lapping plates periodically, preferably every morning before starting production, to ensure
lap plate flatness.
2. Fill the slurry tank with a lapping vehicle. The vehicle is purchased premixed, and a lapping
compound should be added to the vehicle at a rate of 8 oz. per gallon.
3. Run the machine without parts for 4 to 6 minutes allowing the compound to mix evenly in the vehicle.
4. Load the parts to be lapped inside the conditioning rings. The parts should be free to move about
within the ring and not packed remaining stationary.
5. Lapping times will vary according to the severity of the flaw that is to be removed. Minor scratches or
warpage can usually be removed within 30 to 60 minutes.
6. Before inspecting the flatness of the lapped part:
a. Remove the dull finish caused by the lapping compound. m620mfh1

b. Wash the part thoroughly.
c. Polish the lapped surface, using 600 grit emery paper on a 4/0 polishing stand, until surface
reflects light.
Testing For Flatness
Optical flat.
A monochromatic light source and an optical flat are required to determine flatness. Refer to Illustration 7.
Light band pattern.
Test for flatness by observing the light, emitted from the monochromatic light head, reflecting from the
surface being checked, up through the optical flat. A series of dark bands and light spaces will be projected.
Refer to Illustration 8. The dark bands are not light rays, but show where interference is produced by
reflections from the test piece in the optical flat. Inspect the light bands for straightness. If the bands are
m620mfh1
straight and parallel, the surface is flat. If the bands are curved, the surface is not Caterpillar:
flat but mayConfidential
be flat enough

Port Plate Nomenclature and Issues

m620mfh1
(1) Control Surface
(2) Contact Surface between port plate and barrel.
If there is wave-shaped wear on the control surface of the control plate, then the control surface must be
replaced. This wear can be felt with a pencil between the kidney shaped slots.
Wave-shaped run-in is a result of fine dirt particles in the pressure fluid. A high density of solid matter
particles ranging from 5 to 10 microns has the effect of lapping paste.
If both the port plate and barrel are to be replaced with new parts, then no lapping is necessary. New parts are
ground to dimension and are interchangeable. When new and used parts are paired, the control surface must
be lapped together.
(3) Rib
(4) Seal Bands
(5) Thrust Face
(6) Port
m620mfh1
Contact surface of the port plate must be flat and level. Inspect the levelness with a straight scale.
Use Again
Note: Use the power lapping procedure on both sides of all port plates that can be used again before plates
are installed.
A port plate that has scratches or scored marks that can be felt with a fingernail or pencil lead on the critical
surfaces or between the ports cannot be used again. Port plates that are smeared or galled on the critical
surfaces or have blue discoloration cannot be used again. An indication of a smeared or galled port plate is
bronze colored material on the port plate surface.
Use the touch lapping procedure on port plates that have scratches or score marks that can be seen but cannot
be felt.
Note: If a port plate and a bearing plate are exchanged at the same time, then lapping is not necessary. New
spare parts are ground to dimension at the factory and are interchangeable. When matching used parts with
new parts, lapping is required.

Lapping the Barrel to the Port Plate
If the barrel and the port plate are both replaced at the same time, then lapping is not necessary. New parts
are ground to dimension and are interchangeable. When matching used parts with new parts, lapping is
required.
Abrasives
NOTICE
When using abrasives, limit exposure to skin to avoid irritation. Avoid
inhalation if the abrasive is in the form of powder.
Silicon Carbide and Aluminum Oxide lapping compound are recommended for the abrasives. A medium- m620mfh1
fine 500-600 grit (17-14 microns) Silicon Carbide is desired for pre-lapping. A medium-fine 500-600 gritYellow
Caterpillar: Confidential
(17-14 microns) Aluminum Oxide is desired for final lapping. Silicon Carbide will remove material from the
port plate and Aluminum Oxide will help with achieving the desired surface finish. Lapping compound can
be obtained in a paste or a powder. Lapping compound should be mixed with a light oil. Avoid water base
compounds. When preparing the compound, obtain a syrup consistency. The mixture should contain 50% oil.
Surface Examination
The following steps will provide a method to check the barrel and the port plate.
1. Examine the surface of the port plate and barrel. Look for wear if the components are used. Light
scratches can be removed by lapping. Use a sharp pencil to identify any large grooves or
imperfections. Parts may need replaced if a pencil cannot easily run over the grooves or imperfections.
2. Examine the surface roughness of the barrel and port plate. An average roughness of 0.1 µm
(3.9 microinches) is acceptable for the port plate. An average roughness of 0.2 - 0.3 µm
(7.8 - 11.8 microinches) is acceptable for the barrel.
Illustration 118 g03177977 m620mfh1

3. Scribe at least three lines using pencil lead from the center of the barrel outward. This procedure will
verify the mating of the two parts. See Illustrations 117 and 118.
4. Center the port plate on the barrel. Rotate the port plate on the barrel. Apply light pressure and make
five rotations.

Unacceptable

Acceptable
5. Remove the port plate from the barrel. Check the pencil lead marks. Record the wear pattern. Examine
the remaining length of the lead marks.
Note: 1/3 of the line should remain visible. The line should be located near the center of the barrel.
Illustration 119 indicates an unacceptable barrel. Illustration 120 indicates an acceptable barrel. Start
the procedure if any one condition exists.
m620mfh1
Initial lapping Caterpillar: Confidential Yellow
1. Apply a light coat of 500-600 grit (17-14 microns) Silicon Carbide lapping compound to the port plate.
Place the barrel on the port plate. Refer to Illustration 121.
m620mfh1
2. Rotate the barrel in a circular motion while moving the barrel around the center of the port plate. The
lapping motion should form an eccentric pattern. Refer to Illustrations 122 and 123. An eccentric
pattern is desired so that grooves are not created from a repeated motion. Apply moderate pressure
during lapping. Continue this process for 15 to 20 passes.
Note: The large cross hair indicates the center of the port plate which lies below the barrel. The small
cross hair indicates the center of the barrel on an eccentric path.
3. Clean the barrel and the port plate with a solvent to remove the lapping compound. Repeat Steps 1
through 5 in the "Surface Examination" section. If the desired result is not achieved, continue lapping.
Move to Step 4 once the surface is free from scratches and imperfections.
Note: Step 4 uses the file method for testing hardness. This step is not to be confused with traditional
Rockwell testing. Hardness testing files and instructions can be obtained from a local tool supplier.
4. Perform a hardness test on the port plate using the file method. Use a hardness testing file at 65
Rockwell C. Check the lands that have been affected by lapping. The part must be replaced if the
hardness file scratches the surface. Insome cases, the amount of material removed from the port plate
may be too great to maintain the minimum material harness of 67 Rockwell C. Proceed to the final
lapping procedure if the recommended results were achieved.
Final Lapping
1. Apply a light coat of 500-600 grit (17-14 microns) Aluminum Oxide lapping compound to the port
plate. Place the barrel on the port plate.
2. Rotate the barrel in a circular motion while moving the barrel around the center of the port plate in an
eccentric pattern. Refer to Illustrations 122 and 123. An eccentric pattern is desired so that grooves are
not created from a repeated motion. Apply moderate pressure while lapping. Continue this process for
15 to 20 passes.
3. Clean the barrel and port plate with a solvent to remove the lapping compound.
4. Apply a light coat of oil to the port plate to prevent corrosion. Place the barrel on the port plate.

Barrel Assembly Bores and Piston Fit

Use the following procedure to check the barrel assembly bores.
1. Wash the barrel assembly and piston in a clean solvent. Use compressed air to dry off the barrel
assembly and piston.
m620mfh1
2. Put a piston into one of the bores to the maximum depth that the piston will go into the bore during
operation. Caterpillar: Confidential Yellow
3. Feel for side movement of the piston in each bore.

How to check the side movement of a piston in a barrel assembly bore.
If no movement or only little side movement can be felt in all of the bores, the barrel assembly can be used
again. Refer to Illustration 132.
Note: Use a piston in a new barrel assembly to see how much side movement can be permitted. If necessary,
use a dial bore gauge to measure the bore diameters.
Barrel Assembly Spline Measurement

Measurement of the barrel assembly splines.
m620mfh1

Measurement of barrel splines between pins.
If no wear can be seen on the barrel assembly splines, the barrel assembly can be used again. If necessary,
use two pins and an inside micrometer to measure the splines (X) as shown in Illustration 134. Put the pins
180° apart in the worn area of the splines. For barrel assemblies that have an odd number of spline teeth, put
the pins in splines as near to 180° apart as possible. Use clay or masking tape to hold the pins in position.
Refer to manufacturer specifications. Refer to Illustrations 133 and 134.
Control Lens

Control lens nomenclature.
(A) Control surface
(B) Contact surface between control lens and barrel.
If there is a wave-shaped wear on the control surface of the control lens, then the lens must be replaced. This
wear can be felt with a pencil lead between the kidney-shaped slots.
Wave-shaped run-in is a result of fine dirt particles in the pressure fluid. A high density of solid matter
particles smaller than 5 to 10 microns has the same effect as lapping paste.
m620mfh1
If both the control lens and barrel are to be replaced with new parts, then no lapping is necessary. New parts
are ground to dimension and are interchangeable. When used and new parts are paired, the control surfaces
must be hand-lapped together.

Slotted Round Nut
m620mfh1
If the bearing assembly is removed from the drive shaft, the nut must always be replaced. Replacing the nut
is a safety precaution.
When the drive shaft is assembled, secure the nut on the drive shaft with Loctite. Prior to assembly, the part
should be cleaned with 4C-8648 Cleaner (Hydrosolv 4110).
Once threads on the drive shaft are clean, coat the thread with Loctite primer. This primer will improve the
holding capability of the Loctite. The primer also shortens the drying time of the Loctite to approximately 20
minutes.
Finally, coat the male threads of the drive shaft with Loctite 242. The Loctite 242 should be applied only to
the area under the nut, not to the complete length of the thread.

Procedure to Inspect Shaft Seal Area
m620mfh1

Grooves in the seal area can be felt with a fingernail.
Use Again - After the seal area is salvaged according to the correct procedure
Procedure to Salvage Shaft Seal Area
Grooves in the seal area that can be felt with a fingernail, as shown in Illustration 272, can be removed to
make the part usable again.
Note: Follow the metal spray manufacturer directions carefully in the application of metal spray to the shaft
seal area.
The salvage procedure is as follows:
1. Measure the shaft outside diameter at the seal area and the shoulder radius (if present) and make a note
of each dimension.
2. Worn or damaged surfaces designated as salvable by chrome plating can also be salvaged by a metal
spray process. Metal spray is an acceptable method of restoring a surface to the original size. Each step
in the procedure is critical in achieving the desired coating bond and surface finish. See any of the
thermal spray Reuse and Salvage Guidelines found in the "References" section at the beginning of this
document for more information.
3. Grind the seal area to the diameter you measured in Step 1. The surface finish must be 0.40 to 0.80 µm
(16 to 32 microinch). The wheel radius must be the same or greater than the shoulder radius measured
in Step 1.
Spline Measurement
m620mfh1

Measurement of the shaft splines.
If the splines have a visible wear step, the shaft cannot be used again. If necessary, measure the splines. Use
two pins placed in the splines 180° apart. For shafts that have an odd number of spline teeth, put the pins in
splines as near to 180° apart as possible. Put rubber bands around the pins and shaft to keep the pins in place.
Refer to Illustrations 273 and 274. Refer to the manufacturer for reusability specifications for the pin
diameter and the use again dimension. Use an outside diameter micrometer to measure across the pins. The
crown splines must be measured at the center of the spline for the correct measurement. If measurement is
less than the dimension given by the manufacturer, the shaft cannot be used again.
