Arm Regenerative Control


Function:
Accelerates the arm roll-in speed to prevent arm

Operation:
The MC activates the solenoid valve unit (SC) so that
solenoid valve delivers the pilot pressure oil to shift the
arm regenerative valve when signals from the pump 2
delivery pressure sensor, swing pressure sensor, arm roll-
in pressure sensor, and boom raise pressure sensor meet
the following conditions. When the arm regenerative
valve is shifted, the return circuit from the arm cylinder
rod side to the hydraulic oil tank is closed. Then, the
return oil from the cylinder rod side is combined with the
pressure oil from the pump and is routed to the cylinder
bottom, accelerating the arm roll-in speed and preventing
arm hesitation. (Refer to the COMPONENT OPERATION/

delivery pressure is low.
Arm Roll-In Pressure Sensor: High output. (The arm
control lever stroke is large.)

 Pressure oil from the pilot valve is selected by the
shuttle valves in the signal control valve. Then, the
selected pressure oil is routed further to either the
pump 1 flow rate control valve or the pump 2 flow
rate control valve in the same signal control valve,
shifting either of the flow rate control valves.
 When either the pump 1 flow rate control valve or
the pump 2 flow rate control valve is shifted, the
pilot pressure oil from the pilot pump is routed to
either main pump 1 or main pump 2 as flow rate
control pressure Pi.
f NOTE: When the boom (raise/lower), arm (roll-in/
out), bucket (roll-in/out), auxiliary, and/or travel (right)
function is operated, flow rate control pressure Pi is
routed to main pump 1. When the boom (raise/lower),
arm (roll-in/out), swing (right/left), and/or travel (left)
function is operated, flow rate control pressure Pi is
routed to main pump 2.
 Torque Control (Speed Sensing) by Torque Control

Outline
 Main pumps (1 and 2) draw hydraulic oil from the
hydraulic oil tank. Main pump 1 and main pump 2
deliver pressure oil to the 4-spool control valve, and
the 5-spool control valve respectively.
 Delivered pressure oil is routed to the motor(s) or
cylinder(s) in response to operation(s) of the spool(s)
in the control valve(s).
 The return oil from the motor(s) and/or cylinder(s)
flows back to the hydraulic oil tank via the control
valve and/or the oil cooler.
 When the oil temperature is low (high viscosity), the
oil flow resistance increases in the oil cooler, which
opens the bypass check valve, allowing hydraulic oil
to return directly to the hydraulic oil tank without
passing through the oil cooler.

 Pressure oil from pump 1 flows into the boom
cylinders via the parallel circuit and the boom 1
spool, raising the boom.
 Pressure oil from pump 2 flows into the swing motor
via the swing spool.
 At the same time, pressure oil from pump 2
flows through the parallel circuit and after being
combined with pressure oil from pump 1, flows into
the boom cylinders, raising the boom together with
pressure oil from pump 1.

 Travel and Arm Roll-In Operation


 When the arm is rolled in while traveling, the pilot oil
pressure shifts the travel, arm 1 and 2 spools.
 At the same time, the right travel pilot oil pressure
shifts the flow combiner valve control spool in
the signal control valve. Pressure oil from the flow
combiner valve control spool is routed to the flow
combiner valve, shifting the flow combiner valve.
 Pressure oil from pump 1 drives the right travel
motor via the right travel spool.
 At the same time, pressure oil from pump 1 passes
through the flow combiner valve and the left travel
spool and drives the left travel motor.
 Pressure oil from pump 2 flows into the arm cylinder
via the arm 1 spool, moving the arm.
 Consequently, pressure oil from pump 2 is used only
to operate the arm. Pressure oil pump 1 is equally
routed to both the right and left travel motors,
ensuring that the machine can travel straight.
f NOTE: The right travel circuit is a tandem circuit so
that pressure oil from pump 1 does not flow to the arm 2
spool.

Main Pump
The main pump supplies pressure oil to actuate the
hydraulic components such as motors or cylinders. The
main pump consists of pump 1 and pump 2. Shaft (3)
is connected to each pump cylinder block (6) via seven
plungers (4) so that the shaft and cylinder block rotate
together. When cylinder block (6) is rotated, plungers (4)
oscillate in the cylinder block, suctioning and delivering
hydraulic oil. Each main pump is equipped with a
regulator which controls the flow rate.

Operational Principle
Engine torque is transferred to the shaft (3) and the
seven plungers (4), causing the cylinder block (6) to
rotate while sliding along the valve plate (5) surface.
The plungers (4) reciprocates in the cylinder block (6)
bores to alternately draw and deliver hydraulic oil.

Increasing and Decreasing Flow Rate


Changing inclination of cylinder block (3), causes
plunger (2) stroke to increase or decrease depending
on the slant angle which in turn controls the main
pump flow rate. Up-down movement of servo piston
(6) changes inclination of cylinder block (3). Servo
piston (6) is connected with valve plate (4) via pin (5).
The one end of cylinder block (3) is kept in contact with
the surface of valve plate (4) and slides along it.

The regulator controls the main pump flow rate in
response to the various command signal pressures so
that the pump driving power doesn’t exceed the engine

Regulator Control Function


The regulator has the following four control functions.

 Control by Pump Control Pressure Q


When a control lever is operated, the pump flow rate
control valve in the signal control valve regulates
pump control pressure Pi in response to the lever
stroke. Then, when the regulator receives pump control
pressure Pi, the regulator controls the pump flow rate
in proportion to pump control pressure Pi. When a
control lever is operated, pump control pressure Pi
increases. Thereby, the regulator increases the pump
flow rate. When the control lever is returned to neutral, 0 Pi
pump control pressure Pi decreases, causing the
regulator to reduce the pump flow rate. Q- Flow Rate Pi- Pump Control Pressure

 Control by Own or Opponent Pump Delivery Pressure


The regulator receives own pump delivery pressure
Pd1 and opponent pump delivery pressure Pd2 as Q c
control signal pressures. If the two average pressures d
increase over the set P-Q line, the regulator reduces
both pump flow rates by the excess pressure from the
P-Q line so that the total pump output is returned to
the set P-Q line. Thereby, the engine is protected from
being overloaded. The P-Q line has been designated
to jointly regulate both pump operations. Therefore,
both pump flow rates are regulated almost equally to
each other. Accordingly, although the higher-pressure 0 P
side pump is loaded more than the lower-pressure side
pump, the total pump output matches with the engine Q- Flow Rate c- Pressure Increase
output. (Total Output Control) P- Pressure d- Flow Rate Decrease

Group 1 Pump Device

 Control by Pilot Pressure from Torque Control Solenoid Q


Valve
The main controller (MC) operates based on both
the engine target speed input data and actual speed
information signals and outputs signals to the torque
control solenoid valve. In response to the signals from
the MC, the torque control solenoid valve delivers
torque control pilot pressure Pps to the regulator.
Upon receiving pilot pressure Pps, the regulator
reduces the pump flow rate. (Speed Sensing Power 0 P

 Control by Pilot Pressure from Flow Rate Control Q


Solenoid Valve
(Pump 2 Side Only)
When the MC receives signals from the work mode
switch, pressure sensor (optional) [auxiliary] or
attachment mode switch (optional), the MC send
signals to the maximum pump flow rate control
solenoid valve. Then, in response to the signals from
the MC, the maximum pump flow rate control solenoid
valve reduces pump control pressure Pi, limiting the
maximum pump flow rate. (Pump Flow Rate Limit 0 P

1. When a control lever is operated, the flow rate
control valve in the signal control valve is shifted,
increasing pump control pressure Pi.
2. Piston (4) pushes spool A (3) and spring (1) so that
spool A (3) is moved in the direction of the arrow.
3. Then, the circuit from the large chamber of servo
piston (10) is opened to the hydraulic oil tank.
4. The pilot oil pressure is always routed into the 0 Pi
small chamber of servo piston (10). Thereby, servo
piston (10) is moved toward the direction of the Q- Flow Rate Pi- Pump Control Pressure
arrow. Therefore, the cylinder block rotated in the
maximum inclination direction and the pump 1 3 2 4

5. The movement of the cylinder block is transmitted
to sleeve A (2) via link (12). Then, sleeve A (2) is
moved in the same direction as spool A (3). Pi

6. When sleeve A (2) is moved by the same stroke as Pd2


spool A (3), the circuit from the large chamber of 13

Solenoid Valve
The torque control solenoid valve and the pump 2 flow
rate limit solenoid valve are provided on the pump 1
regulator. The torque control solenoid valve supplies
the torque control pressure Pps to both the pump 1 and
pump 2 regulators to reduce the pump flow rate. The
pump 2 flow rate limit solenoid valve reduces the pump
control pressure to the pump 2 regulator so that the
maximum pump flow rate is limited.

Operation
1. When neutral, port P (8) is connected to the output
port (7) through the notch on the spool (5).
2. When the current flows to the solenoid (1) from the
MC, the solenoid (1) is magnetized, pushing spring
1 (2).
3. Then, spring 1 (2) pushes the spool (5) so that the

The valve unit consists of the make-up valves (2) and
the relief valves (1). The make-up valves (2) prevents
cavitation in the circuit. The relief valves (1) prevent surge
pressure and overloads in the circuit. 1

Make-Up Valve
During swing stop operation, the swing motor is driven 2
by inertia force of the upperstructure. The motor is
rotated by inertia force more than by pressure oil
delivered from the pump, causing cavitation to develop
in the circuit. To prevent cavitation, when pressure in 3
the swing circuit is reduced more than the return circuit
(port C (3)) pressure, the poppets (5) are opened so that
hydraulic oil is drawn into the circuit from the hydraulic 4
oil tank to compensate for the lack of oil in the circuit.

control valve respectively. A parallel circuit is provided
in both right and left main circuits, making combined
operations possible. An oil flow combiner circuit is
provided in both the boom and arm circuits so that
when a single operation is made, pressure oil from
both pumps 1 and 2 is supplied to the boom or arm
cylinders.

The main relief valve is located in the main circuit


(between the pump and actuators), preventing oil

than the set-pressure while the control valve spool (s)
[the control lever (s)] is (are) operated. The overload
relief valves are located in the boom, arm, and bucket
actuator circuits (between the control valve and
actuators). The overload relief valve prevents surge
pressure from being developed by external loads in
the actuator circuit and prevents pressure in the circuit
from rising more than the set-pressure when the

moved by external loads. In addition, when the actuator
circuit pressure is reduced, draws the hydraulic oil from

The regenerative valves are provided in the boom lower,

speeds and to prevent cylinder hesitation, improving
machine controllability.

Boom Regenerative Valve and Bucket Regenerative


Valve

fNOTE: Operational principle of the boom regenerative


valve is identical to that of the bucket regenerative valve.
Therefore, the bucket generative valve is explained as an
example.
Operation
1. When the bucket is rolled in, the return oil from the Pressure Oil from Pump 1
cylinder rod side (bottom side of the boom cylinder)
enters hole A in the spool and acts on the check
valve.
2. At this time, if pressure in the cylinder bottom side
(rod side of the boom cylinder) is lower than the rod
side, the check valve is opened. Bucket
Cylinder
3. Then, the return oil from the cylinder rod side flows
into the bottom side together with oil delivered
from the pump, increasing the cylinder speed.
4. When the cylinder is moved full stroke or the
digging load increases, pressure in the cylinder
bottom side circuit will increases more than the Check Valve
rode side, causing the check valve to close and
stopping regenerative operation. T176-03-03-027

Operation
1. Normally, during arm rolled-in operation, the return
oil from the cylinder rod side flows back to the
hydraulic oil tank through the hole (orifice) in the

2. When solenoid valve unit (SC) is activated by a
signal from the MC (main controller), pilot pressure
oil delivered from solenoid valve unit (SC) shifts the
arm regenerative valve spool, blocking the return
oil circuit from the cylinder rod side. (Refer to the
SYSTEM /Control System group.)

flows to the bottom side together with oil delivered

The anti-drift valves are provided in the boom cylinder
bottom side circuit and the arm cylinder rod side circuit,
preventing the cylinders from drifting.
f NOTE: Both the boom and arm anti-drift valves are
identical in construction.
Holding Operation
1. When the control lever is in the neutral position
(neutral spool position), the switch valve in the anti-
drift valve is not shifted. Boom Cylinder
2. Thus, pressure oil from the boom cylinder bottom
side (arm cylinder rod side) exerts on the check
valve (spring side) in the anti-drift valve though the
switch valve.
3. Consequently, the check valve is closed so that the
return circuit from the cylinder is blocked, reducing
cylinder drift.

1. Pressure oil flows to port B in valve plate (6), enters
one side in rotor (2), and pushes plunger (5).
2. This force and inclination of swash plate (4) make
shoe (3) slide on swash plate (4) in order to rotate
rotor (2) and output shaft (7).
3. As rotor (2) rotates, when plungers (5) reach port A,
pressure oil is returned to the hydraulic oil tank.
4. Whether forward travel or reverse travel depends on
whether pressure oil is supplied to port A or port B.

Parking Brake
The parking brake is a wet-type spring set hydraulic
released multi-disc brake. The brake is released when
the brake release pressure oil is routed to brake piston
chamber (a).
The parking brake is automatically applied unless the
travel function is operated.
Friction plates (2) and plates (3) are connected to rotor
(4) and housing (1) of the travel motor by a spline joint
respectively.

Travel Brake Valve


The travel brake valve is located on the travel motor head
and consists of the following valves.

 Counterbalance Valve (2):


Counterbalance valve (2) ensures smooth start / stop
travel operation and prevents the machine from
running away when traveling on a down slope. In
addition, counterbalance valve (2) routes the travel
motor operating pressure oil in the high-pressure port
(AV or BV) to the parking brake.

 Check Valve (3):


Check valve (3) assists the counterbalance valve (2)
operation and prevents cavitation in the motor circuit.

 Overload Relief Valve (6):


Overload relief valve (6) prevents the occurrence of
overload and surge pressure in the motor circuit and
reduces shock loads developed when stopping travel
operation.

 Shuttle Valve (1):


Shuttle valve (1) routes the travel motor operating
pressure oil in high pressure port (AM or BM) to travel
motor displacement angle control valve (5).

 Travel Motor Displacement Angle Control Valve (5):


Travel motor displacement angle control valve (5)
delivers pressure oil routed by shuttle valve (1) for
piston operation to the piston through orifice (4) (for
slow / fast speed).

 Orifice (4) (for slow / fast speed):


Orifice (4) makes the travel mode control (displacement
angle control) smooth.

Counterbalance Valve
 While Traveling
1. When pressure oil from the control valve enters port
BV (8), pressure oil flows around the outer surface
of spool (9), unseats check valve BC (7), and flows
further to motor port BM (6).
2. On the other hand, returning oil from the travel
motor is routed to motor port AM (4). However, its
passage is blocked by check valve AC (3) and spool
(9).
3. When pressure in port BV (8) increases further,
pressure oil is routed to chamber B (10) through
orifice (f ) in spool (9) and moves spool (9) to the
right.
4. Consequently, returning oil from the travel motor
flows to port AV (1) through notch (h) on spool (9).
As pressure oil starts flowing at this stage, the travel
motor starts rotating.
5. When the travel control lever is returned to neutral,
spool (9) is returned to the original position by the
spring force and blocks the oil passage so that the
travel motor rotation is stopped.

 While Descending a Slope


1. When the machine descends a slope, the travel
motors are forcibly rotated by the machine self
weight like a pump.
2. If the travel motor draws oil, oil pressure in port BV
(8) and chamber B (10) decrease. Spool (9) moves to
the left so that returning oil from the travel motor is
reduced.
3. Therefore, oil pressure in motor port AM (4)
increases and functions the travel motor brake.
4. Once pressure oil is reduced, pressure in port BV (8)
increases again and moves spool (9) to the right.
By repeating this (hydraulic brake operation), the
machine is prevented from running away.

Overload Relief Valve


When the circuit pressure increases over the set pressure,
the overload relief valve is opened and high pressure oil is
relieved to the low-pressure side, so that the travel motor
is protected from being overloaded.
In addition, overload relief valve relieves the shock loads
developed due to inertia force when stopping the travel
motor.
When the travel motor draws pressure oil like a pump,
check valve BC (10) is unseated (make-up operation) and
prevents the cavitation.

piston (6) upward.
4. As long as piston (6) keeps moving, a pressure
difference is developed between the front and
rear of poppet (5). When this pressure difference is
increased beyond the spring (7) force, poppet (5) is
opened and pressure oil flows to the hydraulic oil
tank. (Shockless Function)
5. When piston (6) reaches the stroke end, the
pressure difference between the front and rear of
poppet (5) disappears and poppet (5) is closed.
6. Under this condition, normal relief pressure is set.
7. When the pressure in the travel circuit increases
beyond the spring (7) force, poppet (5) is opened
and pressure oil at the relief set pressure flows to
the hydraulic oil tank.
8. As described above, relief operation in two-stages
prevents the travel motor from being overloaded
and reduces shocks developed in the circuit when
stopping the travel motor.

Travel Mode Control


The displacement angle of swash plate (10) is changed by
piston (11) movement in order to shift the travel mode.

 Slow Speed
1. When the travel mode switch is in the Slow position,
MC (main controller) does not send the signals
to solenoid valve unit (SI) so that pilot pressure
is not routed to pilot port (4) of the travel motor
displacement angle control valve (3). Spool (5) of
the travel motor displacement angle control valve
(3) is pushed upward by spring (6).
2. Therefore, as pressure oil in the high-pressure
side motor port AM (2) or BM (1) is not routed to
piston (11), the displacement angle is held to the
maximum.
Therefore, the stroke of plunger (9) is increased and
the travel motor rotates at slow speed.

 Fast Speed
1. When the travel mode switch is set to the Fast
position, MC (main controller) sends the signals to
solenoid valve unit (SI) in response to travel loads.
(Refer to SYSTEM / Control system / Travel Motor
Displacement Angle Control.)
2. Pilot pressure is supplied from pilot port (4) of travel
motor displacement angle control valve (3) and
moves spool (5) downward.
3. Pressure oil in the high-pressure side motor port
AM (2) or BM (1) flows through the inner passage
of travel motor, shuttle valve (7), spool (5), and
orifice (8). Pressure oil flowing through orifice (8) is
gradually routed to piston (11).
4. Therefore, piston (11) pushes swash plate (10) so
that the displacement angle of swash plate (10) is
reduced. As the stroke of plunger (9) is reduced, the
travel motor rotates at fast speed.

Shockless Valve
The shockless valve is provided in the boom raise circuit
and functions during boom lowering operation.

During Boom Raising Operation:


1. Boom raise pilot pressure oil is routed into port A
and acts on the spool. Detail of C

2. Immediately after operation is started, the low pilot


pressure oil flows into the spring B chamber via
clearance between the spool and the housing. At
the same time, the pilot pressure oil flows to port 1
through inner passage 2.
3. When the pilot oil pressure increases, the pressure
in the spring B chamber increases, causing the
spool to move to the left while pushing spring A.
4. As the spool is moved to the left, port A is T183-03-06-002
connected to port 1, increasing pressure in port 1 so
that the spool in the control valve is moved.

During Boom Lowering Operation (Shock Reducing


Operation)
1. When the boom is lowered, the return oil from the
boom raise spool in the control valve is routed to
port 1.
2. Since the spool blocks the oil passage between port
1 and port A, the return oil cannot flow directly to
port A.
3. Port 1 is connected to spring A side via inner
passage 1 and to the oil chamber via inner passage
2.
4. Pressure oil in the oil chamber flows out from
clearance C between the spool and the housing,
reducing pressure in the oil chamber. Then, the
spool is moved to the right by pressure in the spring
A side. Thereby, clearance C between the spool and
the housing is closed, blocking pressure oil flow.
5. When clearance C is closed, pressure in the oil
chamber increases, moving the spool to the left.
Therefore, clearance C is opened again, allowing
pressure oil to flow to port A.
6. As operations in steps (4 and 5) are repeated,
pressure oil is gradually returned to port A so that
the control spool returns slowly.

Pump 1 and Pump 2 Flow Rate Control Valves


The pump flow rate control valve delivers pump control
pressure Pi to the pump regulator in response to the pilot
oil pressure from the pilot valve.

1. The pilot oil pressure from the pilot valve is routed


into the chamber A side in either the pump 1 or
pump 2 flow rate control valve after being selected
by the shuttle valves in the signal control valve.
2. Then, the spool is moved to the left, causing the
primary pilot pressure to flow in either port SA or
SB.
3. Therefore, pressure in port SA or SB increases.
4. Oil pressure in port SA or SB acts on the spring
chamber. Thus, the spool is moved back to the
right until pressure force in port SA or SB balances
with pilot pressure force in the chamber A so that
pressure in port SA or SB stops increasing.
