Part I Superstructure of Truck Crane
1. General
1.1 Product Model
“SANY” cranes, manufactured by Hunan SANY Auto Hoisting Machinery Co., Ltd., embody the domestic
and overseas advanced techniques, and feature the unique appearance---streamline shape, the broad
visibility cab, the flexible maneuver, the flexible driving control system, the stable double H outriggers, the
strong telescopic boom, the new-typed truss frame jib, and the superstructure system which is easy to be
operated. The truck crane produced by our company takes the leading position in the domestic truck crane
technology with its excellent operating features, powerful lifting capacity and ease of operation. At present,
the mass-produced products are mainly the fully hydraulic truck crane, which can be divided into the pilot
control type and manual control type according to the control method, with the tonnage from QY16 to
QY100 whole series. QAY200 and QAY400 all-terrain cranes are being developed. This Maintaining
Instructions describes the troubleshooting for common malfunctions and the knowledge of regular
technical maintenance for our new product, STC75 truck crane.

1.2 Fundamental Structure


The STC75 truck crane principally consists of boom system, turntable assembly, hydraulic system,
electrical system and chassis (Fig. 1-1).

1.2.1 Composition of Superstructure


The superstructure is mainly composed of boom system, turntable assembly, hydraulic system, electrical
system, etc.
1. The boom system consists of main boom, jib, telescopic mechanism, and sheave at boom end.
2. The turntable assembly mainly includes the turntable, slewing support, slewing reducer and balance
weight.

1.3 Overall Dimensions and Working Principles


1.3.1 Overall Dimensions

Fig 1.2 Overall Dimensions


1.3.2 Working Principle
The truck crane can transfer the engine’s power to the main oil pump through the PTO device, and hence
make the whole hydraulic system have hydraulic energy for various actions. The hydraulic energy can,
through the control mechanisms of superstructure and undercarriages, be transferred to each actuating
part -- oil cylinder and motor. The telescopic cylinder I can drive the 2nd boom to stretch out by
pin-connected joint of cylinder, and the telescopic cylinder II drive the telescopic mechanism to make 3rd,
4th and 5th booms simultaneously retract. The luffing cylinder can make the whole boom system operate up
and down, and the slewing motor can drive the slewing mechanism to stably turn 360° through the slewing
reducer, and hence ensure that the hook can reach the target distance and position. The winch motor can,
by winch reducer and wire rope, drive the hook up and down, and transfer materials

Part II Boom system
The boom system is the core part of truck crane, and also the most important bearing structural member
for lifting. The strength and rigidity of the boom system have a direct effect on the performance of truck
crane. The boom system mainly includes main boom, jib, telescopic mechanism, and sheave at the end of
boom, and also such auxiliary structural members as boom-between slide block, block set, rope guard
contact roller and rope supporting board bracket.
Presently, the main boom of QY50C and that above 50 tons’ capacity is composed of base boom, 2nd, 3rd,
4th and 5th sections of boom. Among booms, the MC nylon slide block is adopted for supporting horizontally
or vertically, with the interval between slide block and main boom generally at 4mm, which depends on the
processing level of main boom. If the interval is larger, the handle strength and rigidity of main boom will be
lower. If the interval is smaller but the manufacture deviation of main boom is larger, in other words,
straightness, parallelism, verticality or torsion coefficient of the boom is bad, the disturbance will be easy to
occur, resulting into boom shaking or with noise.

2.1 Composition of Main Boom


The main boom of STC75 is composed of base boom, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th sections of boom. Among booms,
the MC nylon slide block is adopted for supporting. As shown in Fig. 2-1, main boom mainly consists of
boom sections (total of 5), sheave at the end of boom, slide block among booms, fixed sheave block, rope
guard contact roller, slide plate bracket for supporting rope and the connecting shaft among main boom,
turntable and upper pin-connected joint luffing cylinder.

2.2 Composition of Jib


The jib is the key lifting and bearing part of the truck crane and also the key steel structure member. The
combination of truss structure and solid-web structure is now adopted in the jib of the STC75 truck crane.
The function of the jib is to make up the insufficient operation height for the main boom and expand the
operation area. It is composed of boom seat, boom, connecting plate, boom head, bearing rack, bracket
assembly and other parts, as shown in Fig. 2.2.

2.3.1 Working Principle of Synchronous Extension
As the barrel of telescopic cylinder I is installed at the tail of the 2nd section of boom with axis pin, the
cylinder barrel stretches forward to drive the 2nd section of boom to stretch when the piston-side of
telescopic cylinder I gets oil in. The 3rd, 4th and 5th sections of boom inserted inside the 2nd section of boom

4
stretch out along with the 2nd section of boom. When the telescopic cylinder II stretches forward, the 3rd
section of boom would be driven to stretch out by the axis pin installed at the tail of 3rd section of boom, at
the mean time, the telescopic rope bypassing the sheave at the head of telescopic cylinder II drives the 4th
section of boom to extend and retract synchronously, while the wire rope bypassing from the tail of 5th
section of boom to the sheave of telescopic cylinder at the head of 4th section of boom drives the 5th
section of boom to stretch forward synchronously. (Practically, the free extension and retraction of
cylinders I and II have been fulfilled.)

2.3.2 Working Principle of Synchronous Retraction


The working principle of synchronous retraction is identical with the extension with reverse order.

2.4 Replacement of Base Boom


2.4.1 The base boom shall be replaced in the following cases

or abnormal operation, such phenomena may occur, the base boom needs to be replaced.
2. When the main weld of base boom cracks and strength requirement cannot be met despite
rewelding
The main weld of base boom may crack due to long-time running of crane under high load, abnormal
operation or accident. If it is confirmed by the technical department that the base boom can’t meet
strength requirement despite rewelding, it needs to be replaced.

Chapter III Turntable Assembly
The slewing system consists of turntable, slewing bearing, slewing reducer and balance weight. The
superstructure of crane can slew by such a means that the hydraulic slewing motor will drive the slewing
reducer, and the pinion at the output end of the reducer will mesh with the inner ring gear of slewing
bearing that is unable to turn because it is fixed on the base ring of chassis with bolts. Therefore, the
slewing reducer on the bottom plate of turntable can, driven by the pinion, turn 360° together with the
turntable that will drive the upper part to slew.

6. Hydraulic System
6.1Principles of Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system of STC75 superstructure can be classified as S-type (manual push rod) and Y-type
(hydraulic piloted control) according to the control method. Hydraulic systems are all open systems. The
hydraulic system consists of hydraulic pump station, hydraulic systems of undercarriages and
superstructure. The hydraulic system of superstructure includes the slewing system, luffing system,
telescopic system, main and auxiliary winch system; of which hydraulic pump station is connected with
superstructure by central slewing body. The various systems of superstructure fulfill the control by the units
of a multi-way valve.
6.1.1 Hydraulic System of STC75 Superstructure
The load feedback variable hydraulic system is adopted for STC75S system, and the main oil pump is
composed by variable plunger pump and gear pump. The plunger pump provides power for all actions of
superstructure except for slewing, and gear pump provides the power for the outrigger of undercarriages
and the slewing of superstructure. The main valve of superstructure is a pressure compensation
proportional valve which realizes the control over the slewing, extension/retraction, luffing and winch of
superstructure. The main overflow valve and secondary overflow valve are set at the various working oil
circuits of main valve to assure that the working mechanisms are operating within the allowable pressure.
The slewing is carried out by a slewing reducer driven by the slewing motor to actuate the turntable to slew
round the center. The rotary cushion valve and one-way throttle valve with accumulator are set in the
circuit to ensure stable and safe startup and stopping of slewing, so as to eliminate the impact during
slewing.
The extension/retraction is carried out by driving the second, third and fourth sections of boom to
extend/retract by telescopic cylinder through the rope laying mechanism. The balanced valve for
extension/retraction is set in the circuit to maintain the stability of retraction and to block the hydraulic oil in
the telescopic cylinder in case of no extension/retraction action so as to maintain the working length of
main boom.
The luffing is carried out by controlling the lifting/descending of the first section of boom by extension/
retraction of luffing cylinder. The balanced valve for luffing is set in the circuit to maintain the stability of
descending and to block hydraulic oil in the luffing cylinder in case of no luffing so as to maintain the
working length of main boom.
The winch is carried out by driving the winch reducer by winch motor to actuate the rotary drum, wire rope
and hook to lift or descend. The balanced valve for winch is set in the circuit to maintain the stability of
hook descending and prevent stalling. The switching system between the high/low speeds makes the
winch capable of running at high speed in case of light load to assure the operating efficiency and running
at low speed in case of heavy load to assure the stable operation and the lifting capacity of winch.
6.1.2 Hydraulic System of STC75 Superstructure
The load feedback variable hydraulic system is adopted for STC75Y system, and the main oil pump is
composed by variable plunger pump and gear pump. The plunger pump provides power for all actions of
superstructure except for slewing, and gear pump provides the power for the outrigger of undercarriages
and the slewing of superstructure. The main valve is a hydraulic piloted control valve with the load
feedback which realizes the control over the luffing, extension/retraction and winch and controls the
operating speed without the interference of load. The main overflow valve and secondary overflow valve
are set at the various working oil circuits of main valve to assure that the working mechanisms are
operating within the allowable pressure. The slewing is controlled by an independent hydraulic control
slewing valve.
The working principles of slewing, luffing, extension/retraction and winch are the same as that of STC75S
42
As for the hydraulic piloted control, the hydraulic piloted handle is applied to control the pressure of piloted
oil circuit, so as to actuate the valve cores of main valve and slewing valve of superstructure to achieve all
actions of the superstructure. The left piloted handle controls the extension/retraction of main boom and
lifting/descending and slewing of auxiliary hook, while the right piloted handle controls the
lifting/descending of main hook and the luffing of main boom. The left and right piloted handles are
respectively located on the left and right armrest boxes of seat in the operating room.
The setting of safety protection, hydraulic oil cooler and air conditioner drive are the same as that of
STC75S.
6.1.3 Principle of Superstructure Hydraulic System
The hydraulic systems of STC75S and STC75Y are as shown in Fig. 6.1 and Fig. 6.2.

6.5 Structure and Maintenance of Central Slewing Body


6.5.1 Structure and Function of Central Slewing Body
The central slewing body is a slewing connector which connects the pump station of undercarriages and
the hydraulic circuit of superstructure, and its principle is as shown in Fig 6-7. Through the central slewing
body, the oil source can led to the superstructure system from the hydraulic pump station of
undercarriages and it can be ensured that the superstructure can rotate unlimitedly against the
undercarriages, and its basic structure is as shown in Fig 6-7.
The lower end cover of central slewing body is fixed on the undercarriages and the core of central slewing
body is fixed on the lower end cover, and its joint face is sealed with O-ring. Pressure oil can flow into the
body core through the lower end cover of central slewing body, and is assigned to each oil port by the flow
channel inside the body core. The housing wraps the core and can slew freely against the core. The
pipeline of superstructure introduces the pressure oil from each structure of housing, so that the
superstructure can achieve the unlimited rotation against the undercarriages.

6.6 Structure and Maintenance of Luffing Oil Cylinder


6.6.1 Structure and Function of Luffing Oil Cylinder
1. Structure of Luffing Oil Cylinder
The luffing oil cylinder principally consists of piston rod, piston, guide sleeve and cylinder body.
The guide sleeve and the piston can be used for seal and guide, and the seal ring on the piston can
separate the oil in rod-side chamber from that in piston-side chamber of oil cylinder. Differential
pressure will form in these two chambers when the system supplies oil to the oil cylinder, impulse the
piston to make a rectilinear motion in the cylinder, and consequently drive the piston rod to make a
rectilinear motion. The seal ring on the guide sleeve can prevent the oil in oil cylinder from overflowing
during the motion of piston rod.
The service time of the seal ring, O-ring and guide ring of the oil cylinder is restricted by the time and
the motion times. The seal ring and O-ring will fail to seal when used for some time, so the seal ring,
o-ring and guide ring shall be replaced during the overhaul of the luffing oil cylinder that has been
used for a certain period.

6.11 Structure and Maintenance of Winch Hydraulic Motor


6.11.1 Structure and Working Principle of Winch Motor
1. Structure of Winch Motor
The crane of this series adopts the oblique shaft variable plunger hydraulic pump (the motors for main
and auxiliary winches are of the same model). The motor is principally made up of output shaft,
bearing, central connecting rod, cylinder body, motor shell, limit screw, oil distribution disc, plug for
leakage orifice, spring clamp, and shaft seal, which are shown in the figure.

Fig 6-12(1) Structure of Winch Motor
2. Working Principle of Winch Motor
Figure 6-12(2) presents the Working principle of winch motor. The pressure oil can enter the hydraulic
motor through the oil inlet and outlet (A or B) on the end plate 4, can enter the plunger chamber of
cylinder body 3 through the oil distribution disc, and can push out the plunger 2 to press on the
spherical hinge disc of output shaft. The component force of plunger’s press at the tangent direction of
circumference can generate the moment for output shaft to drive the output shaft 1 to turn. The
continuous supply of pressure oil can make the output shaft continuously revolve, and hence supply
the power for executing device.

6.11.2 Analysis on Common Malfunctions of Winch Motor


The analysis on the common malfunctions of winch motor is presented in Table 6-6 (1), which lists the
malfunctions possibly caused in relation to the winch motor, and can be used for inspection as reference.
Many parts generate such malfunctions, but only the reasons related to the winch motor and irrelevant to
the product quality and design are listed in the table. As for the troubleshooting of the same malfunctions at
other parts, please refer to other chapters. It is necessary to carefully analyze on site whether it is caused
by the motor itself or by installation, so as to conduct the purposeful servicing.
Table 6-6(1) Common Malfunctions of Winch Motor
Malfunction Causes Related to the Winch Motor
Severe inside leakage, and much oil leaking from the oil drain tube:
The sliding cooperating face between the plunger and the cylinder hole is worn or
pulled into an axial through groove, so that the cooperating clearance between the
plunger and the cylinder hole is widened, and hence the pressure oil will leak into
the inside empty chamber of motor through this clearance (drain out from the oil
drain tube).
Slow raise and fall
The spring is overused, and the joint face of oil distribution disc and cylinder isn’t
of hook
close.
The bearing is worn, and the radial force generated by cylinder results in the
wedge-shaped clearance between the cylinder and the oil distribution disc.
Improper displacement adjustment:
The overlarge adjustment of the displacement of variable motor will also result in
slow speed.
The joint face isn’t close due to loose screws.
Oil leakage The sealing elements of joint face are broken.
The frame oil seal of output shaft is broken.
Loud noise, and Shoe looseness: It refers to the looseness of sliding shoe from plunger head, which
great vibration and is one of the common mechanical failures of axial plunger motor, and will intensify
pressure fluctuation vibration and noise. The main reason is the wedging of pollutant grains in the oil, or

63
the long service time.
The clutches of motor’s output shaft is installed with different centers.
The joint of pipeline adaptor is loose (esp. the oil inlet), so air enters the hydraulic
motor.
The journals of the bearings at two ends of output shaft are severely worn.

6.11.3 Replacement of Winch Motor


1. Disassembly Steps
Step1. Make sure that the pump stops working, repeatedly turn the winch control handle to unload the
winch circuit, and avoid the oil jetting when disassembly.
Step2. Dismantle the oil-in & oil-out tube, oil drain tube and oil control tube connecting with winch
motor and winch balanced valve. And seal the tube orifice with clean plastic cover or plug in time, so
as to prevent the hydraulic circuit from pollutants.
Step3. Dismount the balanced valve from the hydraulic motor, and seal the joint.
Step4. Screw down the bolts connecting with winch motor and winch tube body, and pull out the
output shaft of winch motor from the winch spline.
2. Assembly Method
Step1. Coat the output shaft of new winch motor with a little butter, and insert it in the spline shaft of
winch drum. Coat the connecting bolt with fastening adhesive, and then install it on the flange of
winch drum.
Step2. Install the winch balanced valve, and make sure that the mounting direction is at the oil outlet
when the rope is releases.
Step3. Connect the oil tube with the winch motor and the balanced valve, and make sure that the oil
draining outlet is at the leakage orifice at the top of winch motor.
Step4. Fill oil to check whether the winch motor is properly installed, and operate the hook with load to

6.12 Structure and Maintenance of Slewing Motor


6.12.1 Structure, Working Principle and Common Malfunctions of Slewing Motor
The slewing motor of the crane of this series is the swash plate dosing plunger hydraulic motor.
1. Working Principle of Slewing Motor
Classified to be plunger motor, the slewing motor bears the similar Working principle as the winch
motor’s (refer to the chapter for winch motor). As for difference, since the slewing motor is of
swashplate type, while the winch motor is of the oblique shaft type, so their layouts are different.
2. Analysis on Common Malfunctions of Slewing Motor
The analysis on the common malfunctions of slewing motor is presented in Table 6-7 (1), which lists
the malfunctions possibly caused in relation to the slewing motor, and can be used for inspection as
reference. Many parts generate such malfunctions, but only the reasons related to the slewing motor
and irrelevant to the product quality and design are listed in the table. As for the troubleshooting of the
same malfunctions at other parts, please refer to other chapters. It is necessary to carefully analyze
on site whether it is caused by the motor itself or by installation, so as to conduct the purposeful
servicing.
Table 6-7(1) Common Malfunctions of Slewing Motor
Malfunction Causes Related to the Slewing Motor
Severe inside leakage, and much oil leaking from the oil drain tube:
The sliding cooperating face between the plunger and the cylinder hole is worn or
pulled into an axial through groove, so that the cooperating clearance between the
plunger and the cylinder hole is widened, and hence the pressure oil will leak into the
Slow slewing

tube).
no-slewing
The spring is overused, and the joint face of oil distribution disc and cylinder isn’t
close.
The bearing is worn, and the radial force generated by cylinder results in the
wedge-shaped clearance between the cylinder and the oil distribution disc.
The joint face isn’t close due to loose screws.
Oil leakage The sealing elements of joint face are broken.
The frame oil seal of output shaft is broken.

Shoe looseness: It refers to the looseness of sliding shoe from plunger head, which is
one of the common mechanical failures of axial plunger motor, and will intensify
Loud noise, and vibration and noise. The main reason is the wedging of pollutant grains in the oil, or
great vibration the long service time.
and pressure The clutches of motor’s output shaft is installed with different centers.
fluctuation The joint of pipeline adaptor is loose (esp. the oil inlet), so air enters the hydraulic
motor.
The journals of the bearings at two ends of output shaft are severely worn.

7. Electrical System of Superstructure
7.1 SYML Torque Limiter
7.1.1 Composition and Functions of SYML Torque Limiter
SYML series torque limiter (in short: limiter) consists of a controller (SYMC), a touch screen display,
length/angle sensors, hydraulic pressure sensors and height limiter, etc.
Through its pressure, length and angle sensors and other status monitors, the system collects real-time
working status parameters about the truck crane, and after processing the data, it can precisely judge
whether the truck crane is working within safety ranges, and shows the actual working conditions of the
truck crane on the LED display visually & truthfully by means of Chinese characters/graphics, including:
arm length (L), working angle (A), working condition, ratio, maximum weight (MW), actual weight (AW),
swing (S), and torque percentage (P).
When the loaded torque of the truck crane exceeds 90% of the maximum torque, SYML will timely give out
warning signals; when the loaded torque exceeds 100% of the maximum torque, warning signals is sent
out and through the truck crane control mechanism, the truck crane movement towards the dangerous
directions is cut off promptly to only allow it moves towards the safe directions; when the hook ascends to
its height limit, warning signals will be sent out, and the lifting ascending and boom dropping movements
are promptly cut off; when the truck crane rope is released to the position of only 3 layers left on the winch,
the rope release is promptly cut off; when the lifted object’s weight equals to or is bigger than 30% of the
maximum load, the boom telescopic movement is promptly cut off. All the safeguarding motions can be
turned off through the overload-relief switch, and some of the safeguarding motions can be turned off by
the enforce switch. However, the overload-relief switch should be utilized with discretion.

7.2 Length/angle Sensor


7.2.1 Structure & Principle
The length & angle sensor is a measuring device used to measure the boom length and angle values, it
consists of a length sensor, an angle sensor and a central conductive ring (see figure below).
The working of the length sensor is that through pulling the cord it drives the gearing potentiometer to
change its resistance, and then the controller calculates lengths by picking up the potentiometer’s
feedback voltage values. The terminal #1 & #3 pins are connected to the positive and negative poles of the
length sensor power supply, and # 2 pin is connected to the signal cable. The voltage supplied to the
length sensor is 5V, the resistance is 0~5 k Ohms, and the practical measuring range is 0~52 m.
The working of the angle sensor is that through the changes of the main boom angle, it drives the angle
sensor to change its relative position which in turn changes the internal potentiometer’s resistance value,
and then the controller calculates angles by picking up the potentiometer’s feedback voltage values. The
terminal #7 & #9 pins are connected to the sensor power supply’s positive and negative poles, and #8 pin
is connected to the signal cable. The voltage supplied to the angle sensor is 5V, the resistance is 0~2.5 k
Ohms, and the measuring range is -10~90 degree.
The central conductive ring is used for transmitting signals. Currently in the cord switch it contains 3
communications cables, the white cable is used for transmitting the signals of height limiting switch, the
blue cable is used as power cord for boom top lamp, and the remaining one is not utilized at present. The
terminal #4 pin is connected to the signal cable of the height limiting switch, and #5 pin is connected to the

69
power cord of the boom top lamp.

7.3 Height Limiting Switch (Overwinding Prevention Switch)


7.3.1 Structure and Principle
When the lifting hook exceeds the specified height, it pulls up the counterweight, the cord switch then loses
the pulling force of the counterweight and leads to its internal contacts closure, and the control cable is
connected to the grounding terminal on the boom; consequently via the length & angle sensor central
sliding ring, the grounding signal is transmitted to A1-11 pin of the SYMC motion controller, through the
SYMC internal programming control, the output from A1-27 pin is a high potential of 27V, the
corresponding electromagnet is energized and the controlling pressure of the hydraulic system is
unloaded, thus such motions as hook lifting, boom extension and boom bending etc. are cut off to ensure
safety. At this time it is only allowable to operate the handles to control hook dropping, boom retraction and
boom lifting (viz. movements toward the safety directions), so as to remove constraints from the limiting
counterweight and then the operations can resume its normal state.
While STC75 series truck crane is performing its height limiting function, the grounding signal is
transmitted to A1-11 pin of the SYMC motion controller, and the output from several corresponding pins
changes from 24V to 0V, which cause their corresponding electromagnetic valve to de-energize, the
70
controlling pressure is unloaded and therefore the protective action is realized.
The inspection method for height limiting switch is: using a multimeter to check the overwinding switch

Notes

Before filling oil, clean the grease nipple and surface to be coated.
The slide surface unlisted in the table shall also be coated with lubricating oil regularly.
When the main boom retracts on the frame of the main boom, if the piston rod of the luffing oil
cylinder of the main boom is exposed partly, the exposed part shall be coated with lubricating
grease monthly.
Main and Auxiliary Winch reducers
After the new machine works for 100 hours, the lubricating oil in the reducer shall be replaced once, and
after it works for another 500 hours, the oil shall be changed another time, later on, the oil shall be
changed once after it works for 1000 hours or at least once per year. The specific grade shall be based on
80
the lubrication chart.
Slewing Reducer
Check the height of the lubricating oil each day through the transparent glass of the slewing mechanism,
and timely fill it when it is insufficient. After the new machine works for 150 hours, the lubricating oil shall be
changed once, and later on, after it works for 1500 hours, the oil shall be changed once or at least once
per year.

Notes

If the gear oil is found contaminated seriously, change it even the cycle of changing oil is undue.
Regularly check the oil level, fill oil if the oil level is lower than the value stipulated.
Lifting mechanism: the 220 (40℃) L-CKD220 Great Wall gear oil of 1.5L shall be filled. After
dismounting the oil injection faucet on the hydraulic motor, fill the sufficient oil.
Slewing mechanism: the 220 (40℃) L-CKD220 Great Wall gear oil of 4.5L shall be filled. After
dismounting the oil injection faucet on the slewing reducer, fill the sufficient oil.
