T2414 Main Circuit 724-2 Pilot Circuit 124-8 587T-2-1 (Blank) 587T-2-2 SYSTEM / Hydraulic System OUTLINE The hydraulic system consists of the main circuit and pilot circuit Main Circuit: This circuit controls pressure oil from the main pump by the control valve, and actuates the cylinders and motors. Pilot Circuit: This circuit supplies pressure oil from the pilot pump into the operation circuit and the travel speed changeover circuit T2-4-1 SYSTEM / Hydraulic System MAIN CIRCUIT EX12-2, EX15-2, EX18-2 @ NOTE: Boom section and bucket section are re- placed with EX12-2 (Serial number 02001 to 02058) and EX15-2 (Serial number 01501 to 01541) Main pumps (P1, P2) draw hydraulic oil from the hy- draulic oil tank and discharge pressure oil to the con- trol valve. (Refer to “Control Valve group in “COMPONENT OPERATION’ section.) The pressure oil from main pump (P1) flows to the spools of blade (9), swing (8), arm (7) and right travel (@) in the control valve. The pressure oil from main pump (P2) flows to the spools of left travel (1), bucket (2), boom swing (3), boom (4) and auxiliary (5) in the control valve. ‘The pressure oil in the control valve, depending on which spools are selected, flows to the cylinders or motors actuating them. The return oil from cylinders or motors retums to con- trol valve and flows through the vaive. The return oil from the control valve flows through the oil cooler, then returns to the hydraulic oil tank. When the temperature of the hydraulic oil is low (viscosity is high), hydraulic oil restriction increases in the oil cooler passages. Therefore, a bypass check valve opens to return the hydraulic oil directly to the hydraulic oil tank. Q@ NOTE: Retum circuit from the control valve is only T2 circuit with EX18-2 T2-1-2 SYSTEM / Hydraulic System @ nore: The illustration shows the EX12-2 (Serial number 02059 and up) and EX15-2 (Serial number 01542 and up).

Also, the parking brake is automatically applied when the engine stops. When Releasing the Brake When the swing or front attachment control lever is operated, the brake release signal pressure is guided to port SH from the control valve. Then, the brake re- lease signal pressure moves the spool downward. On the other hand, the pilot pressure is always fed to port PG while the engine is running. Therefore, when the spool is moved downward and the oil port to the brake piston chamber is connected to port PG, the pilot pressure is guided to the brake piston chamber. ‘Thereby, the brake piston is pushed upward, allowing the plate and the friction plate contact to free which releases the brake. When the Brake is Applied When the control lever is returned to the neutral posi- tion, the brake release signal pressure is not guided to port SH so that the spool is moved upward, At this time, the brake release pressure oil in brake piston chamber flows back via the orifice. Accordingly, the brake piston gradually moves down- ward, allowing the plates to slowly come in contact with the friction plates enabling the swing movement to stop smoothly, Port SH Spring Spring Friction Plate 13-2-3 COMPONENT OPERATION / Swing Device VALVE UNIT ‘The valve unit consists of the make-up valves and re- lief valves. ‘The make-up valve prevents the occurrence of cavita- tion in the circuit, The relief valve also protects the cir- cuit from surge pressure and overloading Make-Up Valve When the upperstructure is swung downward on 2. slope, the upperstructure is accelerated by its own weight and moves quicker than the swing motor drive speed developed by the pump oil flow rate. Therefore, cavitation can occur in the circuit, To prevent cavitation, when the oil pressure in the cir- cuit is lower than the pressure at port M (hydraulic oil tank pressure), the poppet opens drawing hydraulic, oil into the circuit so that the pump oil flow rate is re- plenished EX122, EX152, EX182, EX222, EX262, EX302, Ex35.2 Make-Up Valve Relief Valve Ex40-2, EX45.2 Relief Vatve a 3-2-4 Relief Valve The relief valve functions to reduce shocks developed when starting or stopping swing movement {shockless) and to protect the circuit from overloading (relief. + EX122, EX15-2, EX18-2, EX222, EX252, EX302, £X35.2 + Shockless Operation When the pressure in the circuit increases, the pressure oil enters in the piston chamber via ori- fice of poppet and housing, to move the piston The pressure in the spring chamber is kept low during the movement of piston. Therefore, when the pressure on port HP exceeds the spring set force a poppet opens to relieve the hydraulic oi When the piston moves to the stroke end, the pressure in the spring chamber becomes equal to the pressure on port HP. As a result, the relief set force becomes to the normal pressure, so the Poppet closes. Quick Retum of the Piston ‘To secure the response capability when operating the swing suddenly in the reverse direction, there is a function to return the piston to the original po- sition by leading the pressure to the opposite side (port LP, in this case) of the piston As a result, to secure the response capability of the shockless operation, the piston is moved back to the stroke end to the right Relief Operation When the pressure in the circuit exceeds the relief set pressure, the force which acting on poppet (Pressurized Area (S1-S2)«Pressure on Port HP) exceeds the spring force, so poppet opens to al- Jow the hydraulic ol to be relieved COMPONENT OPERATION / Swi ng Device COnfice Piston Chamber Poppet Piston | Oniice Spring = Si S2_ Housing Spring Chamber, Piston 13-2-5 COMPONENT OPERATION / Swing Device ee X40.2, EX45-2 Shockless Function ‘When the pressure in the swing circuit increases, pressure cil through the orifice of the poppet, the spring chamber and the hole of the cartridge from the port HP, moves the piston to the right. As long as the shockless piston is moving, the pressure in the piston chamber is maintained at low pressure. Therefore, a pressure difference arises between the front and the rear of the pop- pet. When the pressure difference increases more than spring force, the poppet is unseated, relieving the pressure oil to the hydraulic cil tank. When the shockiess piston moves to position Y on the piston guide, the shockless piston stops Therefore, the pressure difference between the front and the rear of the poppet disappears, caus- ing the poppet to re-seat Spring Spring Chamber Cartage Hole Shockless Piston ‘Shockless Piston Swing Cireult 8 Y Piston Guide + Relief Function When the pressure in the circuit exceeds the relief set pressure, the force acting on poppet (Pressurized Area (S1-S2)+Pressure on Port HP) exceeds the spring force, so the poppet opens to allow the hydraulic ol to be relieved + Quick Return of Shockless Piston To secure the response capability when operating the swing suddenly in the reverse direction. When the swing lever is moved in reverse, high oil pres- sure (swing circuit B, in this case) acts on the chamber at the right end face corner of the piston guide. Then, the piston guide is moved to the left due to the pressure difference between both ends of the piston guide. Accordingly, pressure oil flows into the piston chamber from the clearance of the piston guide and the housing. Therefore the shockless piston is moved along with the piston guide to the left original position, by which shockless function is quickly resumed. Port M (Hydraulic ‘Ol!

The output port is connected to port T, so the pressure at the output port becomes equal to the hydraulic tank pressure. When the control lever is moved slightly, pusher (2) and spring guide (3) move downward together, compressing retum spring (5) and balancing spring (4). At this time, as the pressure under spool (6) (output port) is equal to the hydraulic oil tank pressure, ‘spool (6) moves downwards by balance spring (4). the top of the spool is kept even with spring guide (3) This state is maintained until clearance A of spool (6) becomes zero, Control Lever-Operated (Pusher Stroke: C to D- Metering) When the control lever is moved further, the lower notch of spool (6) reaches port P. The pressure cil in port P flows into the output port via the passage in spool (6), so the pressure at the output port increases. ‘The pressure at the output port acts on the bottom of spool (6), to push spool (6) upwards. IF the acting force on spool (6) is smaller than the spring force of batance spring (4), balance spring (4) will not be pressed. As a result, spool (6) will not be pushed up, and the pressure at the output port increases continuously. If the pressure at the output port increases further, the force to push up spool (6) increases. When this force becomes larger than the spring force of balance spring (4), spool (6) pushes balance spring (4), and moves upwards. When spool (6) moves upwards, the lower notch closes, so the pressure oil does not flow into output port from port P. Thereby, the pressure at port P stops raising, Accordingly, the amount the balance spring (4) is compressed is equal to the amount the spool (6) is pressed down, so the balanced pressure between the Spring force and the force on spool (6) becomes the pressure on output port. Control Lever-Full Stroke (Pusher Stroke: E to F) ‘When the control lever is moved to full stroke, pusher (2) is moved down until spring guide (3) comes into contact with the shoulder of casing, Thereby, spool (6) is pressed directly by the bottom of, pusher (2). As a result, the lower notch of spool (6) does not close even if the pressure on output port rises As a result, the pressure at the output port side becomes equal to the pressure on port P.

(9). On the other hand, the return oil from motor port BM is blocked by check valve R (6) and spool (8) Thereby, the pressure on port P1 side increases gradually, so the pressure on port P1 enters into spring chamber (13) from orifice L (2), and moves spool (8) to the right by the pressure at the end surface of spool (8) As a result, spool notch (7) opens so port BM and port P2 connect, so the travel motor rotates. ‘= Descending Operation ‘When the machine travels down a slope, the travel motors are forcibly driven by the machine weight so that the motor draws oil like a pump. ‘The pressure oil in port P1 is drawn into the travel motor, so the pressure on port P1 decreases, Thereby, spool (8) returns to the left, and returning oil from port BM to port P2 is restricted, so the oil pressure brake is activated ‘When the returning oil from port BM is restricted, the pressure on port P1 increases again, and moves spool (8) to the right, so the motor rotates.
