1.8 Lift Cylinder (Second Lift Cylinder for Simplex Mast and Triplex Mast)

- The second lift cylinder for simplex mast and triplex mast has two types: the cylinder with a return pipe, and the one
without a return pipe. For the one without a return pipe, a check valve, instead of the return pipe, is installed inside the
piston. This type is called an internal drain type cylinder.
- Regardless of the presence or absence of a return pipe, a cushion mechanism is installed at the bottom of the piston for
soft landing.

501373

The figure above shows the condition at which the pipe 4


and the cushion bearing 5 start to contact each other after
the piston rod assembly 2 descends by its own weight.
The cushion bearing 5 is pushed upward by trapped oil 1),
and the surfaces of both the piston and cushion bearing 5
meet at area 2). This blocks the passage 3). The only outflow
passage for the trapped oil 1) is the clearance 4) between
the bore of the cushion bearing 5 and the outside of the
pipe 4. The deeper the piston descends, the narrower the
clearance 4) becomes. As a result, the descending speed of
the piston becomes gradually slower, which helps to avoid
the crash impact.

1 2 2) 3)

5 4) 4 501376

The above figure shows a condition immediately after the


piston rod assembly starts to ascend.
Incoming oil acts on the center of the piston, causing the
piston rod assembly 2 to slightly ascend. At the same time,
the cushion bearing 5 descends by the force of the
incoming oil pressure.
This action opens area 2), causing the passage 3) to open.
Oil from passage 3) and an initially-opened passage 4) flows
into the bottom of the piston, and generates pressure on
the bottom surface of the piston to push the piston rod
assembly 2 upward.

The above figure shows the position of the piston rod

There is no spare part supply for parts without * mark.

Note:
(1) As a general rule, only the gear pump manufacturer
should perform disassembly, repair, and reassembly.
Only in the case of an emergency or unavoidable
situation, the disassembly and reassembly of the gear
pump is allowed. In such case, follow the instructions
described below. Note that a field overhaul will release
the pump manufacturer from any warranty claims if
you decide to perform by yourself.
(2) Do not disassemble shaft seal 2 and bushing 1 unless
they are defective.
4.2 Suggestions for Disassembly

(1) Do not forcibly tap the rear cover 1 and front cover 2
with a hammer as they are made of aluminum alloy and
easily damaged. Use either a wooden hammer or a
plastic hammer.
(2) When disassembling, do not forcibly remove the body,
gear, bushing, etc. by tapping with a hammer.
(3) Place the disassembled parts in an orderly sequence.
Note the relative position of the gear and bushing side
plate for correct reassembly.

6. Reassembling Hydraulic Pump


For reassembly, follow the disassembly sequence in reverse.
6.1 Suggestions for Reassembly

(1) Replace the seal kit parts marked with * with new ones.
(2) Completely remove oil or grease from the mating
surfaces of the front cover, rear cover and the body.
(3) Visually check every part for cleanliness and apply
hydraulic oil to the inside surfaces of the body before
reassembly.
(4) Apply grease to the shaft seal lips.
(5) Be careful not to cause damage to the lip of shaft seal
by the spline edges of drive gear.
(6) Tighten the bolts evenly.
(7) The pump shaft should be lightly turned with a pipe
wrench when assembled.
6.2 Operation Test

Operation test should be performed after installation of


pump.
(1) Check that there is sufficient oil in the hydraulic tank.
(2) Attach a pressure gauge to the pump delivery hose.
Refer to "32.2 Control Valve, Inspecting and Adjusting
main relief valve."
(3) Start the engine, and gradually turn the adjusting screw
of the main relief valve from 0 to 19.1 MPa (0 to 194.8
kgf/cm2) [0 to 2770.2 psi], and check the temperature
rise of the pump body by touching it by hand. If the
pump body temperature rises significantly compared
to the rise in oil temperature, disassemble the pump
again to check it.
(4) Set the relief valve to the specified pressure.
(5) Measure lifting speed of the forks with no load. If the
measured speed meets the specification, the pump oil
discharge amount is normal.
(6) Place load on forks, and check that the forks move up
and down smoothly.

32. Outline of MC Control Valve
This control valve is a combined control valve incorporating
a steering flow priority valve, an electromagnetic lift lock
valve, an electromagnetic unload valve and a flow control
valve.
32.1 Hydraulic Lines of MC Control Valve

A hydraulic control system of this valve is of an open center


parallel line arrangement. It has a center bypass function so
that an oil pressure source becomes free of load when a 2
spool is in the neutral position. When more than one spool is T P 1
fully stroked, their moving sections act simultaneously, but T2
they do not always act in the same manner. This is because 3
of the pressure difference between moving sections, as they
)(
have different loads and areas. In this situation, a moving
LS PF

)(
section under the smallest load pressure acts first, and the
one under the largest load acts last. In a hydraulic control
system it is necessary to adjust a stroke of each valve 10
according to its load pressure so that all moving sections
operate in the same manner. For example, a change-over 9
valve under a heavy load pressure must be fully stroked
while change-over valves under smaller load pressure may
need only half of the full stroke. 12 4

33. MC Control Valve Function
This control valve features a multi-directional control valve
that controls actuators by changing oil flows. A lift valve
assembly (lift body) is composed of an integrated
combination of steering control circuits and lift control
circuits, and to which the tilt section or attachments are
connected. The lift valve assembly (lift body) consists of a
main relief valve, a steering circuit flow priority valve, a LS
relief valve, an electromagnetic unload valve, an
electromagnetic lift lock valve and a flow control valve
(FRV). This manual multiple connection change-over valve
assembly is available in 2, 3, 4 and 5 ports including a valve
section.
33.1 Priority Valve Function

A steering priority valve has a valve mechanism that feeds


hydraulic oil to a power steering unit in preference to a load 5
handling unit. This priority valve is a load-sensing priority- 1
type valve that provides a dynamic signal to the steering
4
unit, incorporating a built-in relief valve in the LS circuit. 1)

5. P line

Hydraulic oil flow in the LS circuit


The hydraulic oil from P port passes through a PF throttle
section and a control orifice inside the spool, and flows out 2 1
of LS port. When the flow from P port increases, the flow
that passes through the control orifice also increases. Then a P PF
pressure difference before and after the control orifice is
increased; as a result, the spool moves in the direction to
close the PF throttle and to open an EF throttle. In other
words, when the flow of input oil exceeds certain limits, the
EF throttle is opened to drain excess oil, and thereby LS EF
controlling the increases in pressure difference. As a result,
1)
the flow of oil out of LS port remains constant.

11-58
CHAPTER 11 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Motion when LS port under load pressure
When the pressure in the LS port increases, the spool moves
in the direction to close the EF throttle because the pressure 2 1
difference before and after the control orifice decreases.
This causes EF throttle resistance to increase, and thereby
P PF
increasing the pump pressure.

501485
1. PF throttle 1) Priority valve movement
2. EF throttle

Motion by load pressure


When the pressure in the downstream from the EF throttle
valve is increased due to a load handling operation, the 2 1
pressure in the P port is increased, causing an increase in the
pressure difference before and after the control orifice. Then P PF
the spool moves in the direction to close the PF throttle and
to open the EF throttle, causing an increase in the PF throttle
resistance. As a result, the increase in the pressure difference
before and after the control orifice is limited so that the flow LS EF
from LS port as well as the pressure difference before and W
after the control orifice remains constant. 1)
501486
1. PF throttle 1) Priority valve movement
2. EF throttle

Motion by steering operation


When the PF flow occurs, the pressure in the P port is
decreased, causing an increase in the pressure difference 2 1
before and after the control orifice. Then the spool moves in P PF
the direction to close the EF throttle. This causes EF throttle
resistance to increase, and thereby increasing the pump
pressure. As a result, the pressure difference before and
after the control orifice remains constant. Based on these LS EF
characteristics, the pressure difference before and after the 1)
throttle of the steering unit located in the downstream from
PF port is maintained at a constant level, and the PF flow
rate can be changed by adjusting throttle angle.

CHAPTER 11 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
33.2 Unload Solenoid Valve Function

A solenoid valve on the lower part of the lift body is used for
a pilot pressure which is supplied to the unload valve in a
high pressure circuit of load handling operation. Having
energizing and deenergizing, this value functions as follows:
When an electromagnetic solenoid is de-energized:
The hydraulic oil that passed through the orifice inside the
unload poppet flows into the tank passage through a 1
solenoid valve. This flow creates a pressure difference
before and after the orifice, causing the unload poppet to
open so that the high pressure circuit is opened to the tank
passage. As a result, the hydraulic oil from the high pressure 2
passage cannot flow into load operation sections, and
thereby locking the load handling operation.

501492
1. Tank line 2. High-pressure passage

When an electromagnetic solenoid is energized:


When the electromagnetic solenoid is energized, the flow of
oil from the solenoid valve is blocked so that the flow in the 1
orifice inside the unload poppet stops. As a result, the
unload poppet is closed, thereby allowing oil to flow from
the high pressure passage to the load handling operation
sections. 2

When lift lock solenoid is de-energized:
The return oil from A1 port is blocked by a lock poppet so
that the lowering operation is locked.

501498

When lift lock solenoid is energized:


The return oil from A1 port flows to the solenoid valve after
passing through a control orifice of lock poppet, and then
flows into the return passage. This flow creates a pressure
fluctuation in the direction in which the lock poppet is
opened. The flow that has passed through the lock poppet
returns to the tank, as the spool land is opened to the tank
passage. The return spring returns the spool to the neutral
position.

33.4 Tilt Section Function

CHAPTER 11 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Spool in pulled-out position (backward tilt)
The unload passage is closed so that the discharged oil from the pump flows into parallel passage, and flows out of A2 port by

pressure exceeds a relief valve set pressure, the relief valve is actuated so that the hydraulic oil returns to the tank line. The
return spring returns the spool to the neutral position.

by opening the load check valve. The return flow from the A2 port goes back to the tank by passing through the passage in the
spool of tilt lock valve, which is allowed when hydraulic pressure at the pilot spool is sufficient to overcome the force of spool

Tilt lock mechanism
A tilt spool comprises a tilt locking mechanism, which is activated if there is no oil flow in the main valve, and when activated,
the tilt cylinders will not move even if the tilt down operation is conducted. If the spool is pushed (forward tilt operation) when
no oil is being supplied by the pump, the oil in the tilt cylinder pressured side is forced against the A2 port. However, this flow
is stopped because the pilot pressure is not supplied to the pilot spool, keeping the return passage to the tank closed.

33.6 Pressure Control Valve Function

Four types of relief valves are available for this control valve.
A main relief valve controls maximum pressure in a circuit,
and a LS (load sensing) relief valve that is incorporated in
the lift body controls maximum pressure in a SL flow. A port
relief valve can be incorporated in every port after the tilt
section in order to control maximum pressure at the port.
This port relief valve also incorporates the anti-cavitation
function when the port is under negative pressure.
Main relief valve
(1) When the relief valve is not activated:
The relief valve remains balanced when circuit pressure 5 1
is sufficiently lower than a set pressure. The hydraulic 6
oil fills the spring chamber after passing through the 4
orifice in the main poppet. The hydraulic oil in the
spring chamber acts on the pilot poppet, but the force
of spring pushes the pilot poppet against the seat so
that the flow to the tank passage is blocked. The flow is
also blocked by the main poppet which is pressed
against the sleeve seat by a spring and hydraulic
pressure due to area differences. As a result, 100%
volume of oil that is fed to the circuit flows into
operating sections. 2

1. Main poppet 4. Pilot poppet
2. Orifice 5. Seat
3. Spring chamber 6. Sleeve

(2) When the relief valve is activated:


The pressure in the circuit is increased due to a load
pressure, and when the pressure reaches a set pressure,
the relief valve loses its balance, and starts to activate.
When the circuit pressure reaches a set pressure, the oil
starts to flow into the tank as the hydraulic pressure
pushes up the pilot poppet. This oil flow creates a
differential pressure before and after the orifice in the
main poppet, and by the force of differential pressure,
the main poppet is opened so that the hydraulic oil
flows into the tank passage from P port. As a result, the
maximum pressure is adjusted.

CHAPTER 11 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Steering system relief valve
A LS relief valve is a direct-acting valve in which a spring
pushes the main poppet against the valve body seat. When
the pressure in the LS flow exceeds a set pressure, the main
poppet is forced open, thereby controlling the pressure.

CHAPTER 11 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Port relief valve
(1) When the port relief valve is not activated:
When the pressure in the circuit is sufficiently lower 2 3
than a set pressure, a relief valve remains balanced. The 7 1
hydraulic oil from A or B port fills a spring chamber by 6
passing through the orifice of the middle piston in the
main poppet, and extends to the pilot valve seat.
However, as the force of spring pushes the pilot poppet
against the seat, the flow of oil to the tank is blocked.
The flow is also blocked by the main poppet which is
pressed against the sleeve seat by a spring and
hydraulic force created by area differences. As a result,
100% volume of oil that is fed to the circuit flows into 4
operating sections. 5 8 501513
1. A or B port 5. Spring chamber
2. Main poppet 6. Pilot poppet
3. Middle piston 7. Seat
4. Orifice 8. To tank line

(2) When the port relief valve is activated:


The pressure in the circuit is increased due to a load
pressure, and when the pressure reaches a set pressure,
the relief valve loses its balance, and starts to activate.
When the circuit pressure reaches a set pressure, the oil
starts to flow into the tank as the hydraulic pressure
pushes up the pilot poppet. Then a differential pressure
is created in the orifice of the middle piston, and by the
differential pressure, the middle piston is pressed
against the end of the pilot poppet. And then the
pressure in the spring chamber starts to decrease, and a
pressure fluctuation before and after the main poppet 1
is created. This pressure opens the main poppet so that
oil flows into tank through the tank port passage. As a 501514
result, the pressure in the circuit is maintained to a set
pressure.
1. To tank line

(3) Anti-cavitation function:


When the pressure in the A or B port is decreased with
respect to the pressure in the tank line, a force is
created in the direction to open the main poppet due
to area differences before and after the main poppet.
By this force, the main poppet is opened, allowing the
flow from the tank line to A or B port. As a result, the
generation of negative pressure in the actuator is
prevented.@

CHAPTER 11 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Flow regulator valve (FRV)
The FRV is a flow control valve that limits a maximum flow
rate during lowering operation of the cylinder. The flow rate
of the hydraulic oil returning from the lift cylinder is
regulated by an inching operation of a lift spool, however,
when the spool is fully opened, the spool cannot control
flow rates. Therefore, a valve which limits flow rates is
required when the flow of oil exceeds a specified limit.

(1) When flow rates are less than a specified limit:


The hydraulic oil returning from A1 port passes through 3 2
a variable throttle valve, a secondary pressure chamber 5 4
and a control orifice, and then heads to a change-over
spool. While flow rates are less than a specified limit,
the change-over spool does not activate so that a
lowering operation is allowed without restriction.

2. Secondary pressure chamber 5. Spring chamber
3. Control orifice

(2) When flow rates reach a specified limit:


When flow rates from A1 port increases and a
differential pressure across the control orifice exceeds a
specified limit, the spool moves leftward by the force of
the pressure difference before and after the spool. Then
the variable throttle limits the input flow rates to keep a
differential pressure constant. This operation makes it
possible to keep the maximum flow rates constant and
to limit the flow rate.

34. Handling Precautions of MC Control Valve

R CAUTION
Conduct transportation, installation, pipe installation and operation safely and properly by observing the instructions below.
34.1 Transportation

When carrying MC control valves, hold the valve bodies and


handle them with care. Do not hold an exposed section of
the spool, electromagnetic solenoid coil, and spool cap
section, and do not drop or hit them against other hard
objects.
34.2 Installation

(1) A mounting surface should be sufficiently flat. If a


mounting surface is uneven, tightening the mounting
bolts may distort the valve bodies, which may lead to
interference with the movement of spool.
(2) Install the valve in a position so that an exposed section
of the spool can be protected from being contaminated
with soils and dust.
(3) When attempting to connect a link lever rod to the
spool end, make sure the force (push and pull) exerted
on the spool is applied coaxially with the spool. If a
force is applied in a radial direction, it may result in oil
leaks from dust steal or it may cause interference with
the movement of spool.
34.3 Piping

(1) Do not remove plugs from each port before piping


connection is made. Plugs prevent entry of dirt and
dust.
(2) Be sure to tighten piping joints to the specified torque.
Overtightening may cause valve body distortion, which
may result in interference with the spool movement.

(3) Thoroughly wash the inside of pipes, hoses and


couplings before assembly. Keep the hydraulic oil clean
during operation. If the hydraulic oil is contaminated by
foreign materials, it may cause trouble by entering into
the orifices or passages in the spools of relief valves.
34.4 Miscellaneous

(1) When painting in the vicinity of valve after the control


valve installation, care should be taken to prevent the
paint from adhering to the spool exposed section and
dust seals.
(2) Do not move the relief valve adjusting screw unless
absolutely necessary. When it becomes necessary to
move the relief valve adjusting screw, be sure to adjust
it while observing pressure gauge.
