3607A2TRG02

The pressurized oil delivered from the hydraulic pump flows to valve casing (303) of the motor,
passes through the brake valve mechanism, and is introduced into cylinder block (111) via valve
plate (131). This oil constructively introduced only to one side of (Y1)- (Y2) connecting the upper
and lower dead points of stroke of piston (121). The pressurized oil led to one side in cylinder block
(111) pushes each piston (121) four or five and generates a forec [F (kgf) = P (kgf/cm2) ×A (cm2)].
This force acts on swash plate (201), and is resolves into components (F2 and F3) because swash
plate (201) is fixed at an angle (α) with the axis of drive shaft (101).
Radial component (F3) generates respective torques (T=F3×ri) for (Y1)- (Y2). This residual of
torque [T=S (F3×ri)] rotates cylinder block (111) via piston (121).
Since the cylinder block (111) is spline coupled with drive shaft (101).
So the drive shaft (101) rotates and the torque is transmitted.

2-60
2) RELIEF VALVE
The relief valve mainly has the following two functions :
(1) To keep the starting pressure of the hydraulic motor at a constant value and bypass to the
return line excessive oil generated at the motor inlet depending upon the acceleration speed
of the driven inertia.
(2) To generate a brake pressure at the outlet during stopping of the driven inertia, and stop it
forcedly.

Port A Port B

Poppet A
Seat A Chamber A

3607A2TM06

The chamber A is always connected to the port A of the motor.

When the pressure at port A increases and the force pushing poppet A is higher than the set
pressure of the spring, then poppet A is pushed up from the contact surface of seat A, and oil
flows from chamber A to port B.

2-61
3) NEGATIVE BRAKE
The negative brake is released applying to the brake piston (702) the pressure led through the
built-in counterbalance spool sub-assembly (022).
With no pressure working, the brake force is always ensured.

The brake force is the friction force generated on the surfaces of the friction plates (742) spline-
coupled with the cylinder block (111), when their rotation is restricted by the shaft casing (272),
separation plate (741), and brake piston (702).
Without pressure being applied to the brake piston, the brake piston is pushed by fourteen brake
springs (705), and the friction plate and separation plate are held between the brake and shaft
casing. This holding force functions as the friction force. This friction force restrains the shaft (101)
spline-coupled with the cylinder block, and this function is the brake.

2-62
4) PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE (Flow control valve)

During running During stop

3607A2TM08A

This brake is of a backpressure-insensitive type. In other words, since the counterbalance spool
used be overlapped at the neutral position, the pressure release valve prevents the circuit
backpressure from working into the brake chamber when the machine stops traveling and works,
and so the specified brake torque is available even on a slope.
During normal traveling, the pressure coming through the counterbalance valve is applied to the
brake chamber to release the break, and is also applied to the pressure release valve section.
This pressure release valve is of a constant differential pressure type, and irrespective of the
working pressure, the passing flow is constant and approximately 1 to 2 ℓ/ min.
When the condition changes from traveling to stop, the counterbalance spool returns to its neutral
position. The brake piston is pushed by the brake spring, and the oil in the brake chamber flow to
the motor drain line via the pressure release valve. Then the brake torque is generated.

2-63
5) RELEASING METHOD OF NEGATIVE BRAKE
In releasing the negative brake without applying the brake releasing pressure, follow the
procedures shown below.
Details of work Tools
Remove two plugs (564) from the valve casing (303).
(For their position, see the attached installation dimension)
Tighten an M10 screw of 135 mm in length into a tapped hole Socket wrench
of the brake piston (702). Then the condition having the brake 6 mm
release pressure is attained and the brake is released. 8 mm

Note : Even with the negative brake released, the hydraulic motor will not turn. When it is difficult
to generate the working pressure due to failure of the pump or so, and the whole machine is to
be pulled for transportation without removing the hydraulic motor, connect pressure
measurement ports AM and BM with a short hose or something. Then the machine can be
pulled slowly.

Av Bv

3607A2TRG03

Suppose port Bv is connected to the hydraulic pump and Port Av, to the tank. The oil supplied from
the hydraulic pump passes through Bv, Cv and C' in sequence, pushes up the poppet of the check
valve, passes through K to Port Bm, and is supplied to the hydraulic motor to turn it.
Therefore, the pump discharge oil pressure increases, and the pressure is led via passage G to
spring room E and via the ball check valve to dumping room M. When the pressure in rooms E
and M exceeds the value equivalent to the force of the spring which holds the spool at its neutral
position, the spool begins to move left. Since the working oil in room N flows into room F via
throttle 1' or clearance 2' and that in room F is discharged via passage G' through port Av to the
tank, the spool moves left to have passage L-Dm-D'-Dv composed. In addition, passage Cv-H-P is
also composed, and the pump discharge pressure in port Bv is led to port P.
Because of the throttle or clearance provided for the working oil flow from room N, this changeover
motion of the spool is comparatively slow.
When the pump discharge pressure is higher, the spool movement is larger and the above opening
area of the spool is larger.
When the pump discharge pressure falls, pressures in rooms E and M fall and the spool will move
right due to the spring on the room F side.
Since working oil in room M flows to room E via throttle 1 and that in room E, to port Bv via
passage G, the spool moves right.
When the pressure at port Bv falls down to the tank pressure, the pressure in room E also falls to
the tank pressure and becomes equal to that in room F, and so the spool returns to its neutral
position.

7) DISPLACEMENT CHANGEOVER SECTION
As a supporting mechanism for the swash plate (201) on which the shoes (122) slide, the pillar
system is adopted to support the load with semi-cylindrical sliding bearings provided at both ends
of the mechanism.
The capacity is changed by changing the tilting angle of this swash plate.
This is a mechanism that swash plate was pushed by tilting position, and the tilting angle of the
swash plate is decided in two positions (large and small) by controlling the flows to and from these
piston rooms with the displacement changeover valve section.

By means of the built-in high pressure selector mechanism in the valve casing (303), the high
pressure oil working on the motor functions to port P of the displacement-changeover valve. This
pressure becomes the servo pressure. Since the spool (531) assembled in the displacement
changeover valve is pressed to plug (571) by thy spring (533), the high pressure oil at port P is
enclosed.

The force working on the spool (531) of the displacement-changeover valve becomes higher than
that of the spring (533), and the spool moves left. The high pressure oil flows from port P of the
displacement-changeover valve through port S and passage B to room C where it works.
The displacement changeover piston (502) is pushed light by the high pressure oil and the swash
plate moves in the arrowed direction. The swash plate moves until it touched stopper S, and
then is fixed there.

8) REDUCTION GEAR
The reduction gear is composed of a three-stage planetary gear mechanism shown in the following
figure. Since the sun gear is designed to have a floating mechanism, errors of the gears and
carrier pin hole pitches will not affect the gears' lives heavily.

R3 R2 R1

C3 C2 C1
P3 P2 P1

S3 S2
S1

3607A2TRG04

The input rotation of the hydraulic motor is transmitted to No. 1 sun gear (S1) and this drives No. 1
planetary gears (P1). This No. 1 planetary gears (P1) drive No.1 ring gear (R1) with the same
force as the meshing tangential force with No. 1 sun gear (S1), and also No. 1 carrier (C1) with the
same force as the meshing reaction force. In other words, No. 1 planetary gears (P1) revolve
rotating. This rotation of No. 1 carrier (C1) becomes the output of the 1st stage, and is transmitted
directly to No. 2 sun gear (S2).
(No. 1 carrier is spline-coupled with No. 2 sun gear.) Similarly the revolution of No. 2 planetary gear
(P2) are transmitted via No.2 carrier (C2) to No. 3 sun gear (S3). Since No. 3 carrier (C3)
supporting No. 3 planetary gears (P3) are fixed, No. 3 planetary gears (P3) do not revolve, but
rotates to drive No. 3 ring gear (R3).
Therefore, the rotating case is driven by the overall driving torque of No1, 2 and 3 ring gears.
This reduction ratio is expressed as shown below:
(ZS1 + ZR1) (ZS2 + ZR2) (ZS3 + ZR3)
i= -1
ZS1·ZS2 ·ZS3
where Z : Number of teeth of each gear
The direction of rotation is reverse to that of the input shaft.

3. PRINCIPLE OF DRIVING
Travel motor comprises with rotary, relief valve, parking brake, counterbalance valve and 2-speed
control.

1) WORKING OF ROTARY PART

In the figure below, axis direction power F occurs, when the high pressure oil flows in the cylinder
block through to the valve plate (1) port, and the piston moves to the left hand side.
This power F, which takes shoe (2) as a medium, split into F1 power vertical to swash plate (3), and
F2 power perpendicular from an axis. Through F2 power, cylinder block rotate with piston and shoe,
while shoe (2) moves on the swash plate with piston. There are 9 pistons inserted into the cylinder
block and they rotate with the cylinder block by taking high pressure gas in order at the entrance.
When you reverse the flow of the high pressure oil, piston and cylinder block rotate in the opposite
direction above the shoe plate.

2) WORKING OF RELIEF VALVE
When the port from control valve to motor is closed, traveling movement stops.
However, motor continues rotating because of the traveling inertia of the machine's upper body.
By doing so, motor is damaged by the gradual rising of the pressure at the exit.
To prevent this damage, relief valve discharge the gradual rising pressure from the exit to the
entrance which has lower pressure.

- AT THE BEGINNING OF TRAVELING
RELIEF VALVE A
Traveling manipulation lever works to rise the pressure of RA port up. When this pressure oil press
plunger to the right, and then sustain the power of the spring, the plunger moves to the right and
release the pressure oil of RA port to RB port (stage 1).
The plunger moves slowly by the pressure oil which flows into chamber 1 through orifice 1.
The pressure oil flowed into chamber 1 flows into chamber 2 through orifice 2, and at this point, the
plunger moves to the left again, when the spring is compressed by the flowed pressure oil which
press the spool to the left. (stage 2).
When the RA port pressure goes up much more and the set pressure overcome the power of the
compressed spring again, the plunger moves to the right and the pressure has of RA port is
released to RB port.
Thus, at the early stage of the relief-valve operation, it works primarily at lower pressure, after then,
shock is reduced during rotating at the set pressure as the secondary operation.

- WHEN IT STOP
RELIEF VALVE B
When it stops or operates reversely, RA port pressure is extremely lowered and RB port pressure
gradually goes up because of the swing inertia from the upper swing part of machine.
Consequently, relief valve B operates as the same order as relief valve A, and maintains the set
pressure by releasing the high pressure of RB port to RA port.

3) WORKING OF PARKING BRAKE
Parking brake consists of many wet friction plate. The brake is usually held with the power of spring,
and it only removed by traveling pressure of motor.
• Parking brake OFF
If worker operates the traveling control lever, traveling working pressurized oil into IN PORT flows
from spool chamber through counter orifice.
Pressurized oil pushes counter balance spool to right.
Then notch of spool opens the brake line. At the same time, pressurized oil flow to brake chamber
of motor from brake line. Brake piston to force of brake spring moves to right and brake lift.

If worker leave lever in neutral, pressurized oil supply to in port of motor stop.
If pressurized oil supply stop, in port pressure decline and pressurized oil of spool chamber moves

If spool leave in neutral, notch ⓐ part of spool obstructed and brake pressurized oil obstructed.
Brake pressurized oil line obstructed. So pressurized oil supply to brake chamber obstructed.
Therefore if pressure of brake chamber decline, brake piston to force of brake spring moves to left
and push friction plate.
If brake force happens, brake stop. And pressurized oil to brake chamber drain to motor casing

If worker leave lever in neutral, pressurized oil supply to in port of motor stop.
If pressurized oil supply stop, A port pressure decline and pressurized oil of spool chamber
moves to oil tank through counter orifice. Therefore counterbalance spool return in neutral.
If counterbalance spool moves to left, line ⓑ by notch of counterbalance spool obstructed and
brake pressurized oil obstructed.
At the same time, line ⓐ by notch of counterbalance valve obstructed. Therefore brake

 6) TWO SPEED (LOW SPEED - HIGH SPEED) CHANGEOVER EQUIPMENT
Rotation speed of track motor is depended on slope angle of swash plate (12).
When swash plate angle is Max, the motor rotates at low speed.
When swash plate angle is Min, the motor rotates at high speed.
• Low
ow speed
- When the pilot pressure on spool (31) is disconnected, pilot pressure does not pass to pilot port
A. Two speed changeover spool (31) moves right by the spring (32) force.
- High pressure oil of ⓐ port (or ⓑ port) of cylinder block flow to P port of two speed changeover
spool (31) through shuttle valve.
Pressurized oil of two speed changeover spool flow to chamber A of swash piston (5) through S2
port.
- Swash plate moves to increase swash angle, so the motor rotates at low speed.

 4. REDUCTION GEAR
1) PLANETARY GEAR MECHANISM
Reduction unit slows down the rotating speed of motor and converts motor torque to strong rotating
force.
This reduction unit utilizes two stages, planetary reduction system.
Planetary reduction system consists of sun gear, planetary gears, carriers and ring gear.
When the sun gear (s) is driven through input shaft, planetary pinions (b), rotating on their center,
also move, meshing with fixed ring gear (a), around sun gears (s).
This movement is transferred to carrier (k) and deliver the torque.
This mechanism is called planetary gear mechanism.

2) TWO STAGES REDUCTION GEAR

When the sun gear S1 is driven by input shaft, planetary action occurs among gears S1, a and b
and revolution of gear b transfers the rotation of carrier K1 to second sun gear S2, and also evokes
planetary action between gear S2, a and d.
This time, because carrier K2 is fixed to frame, gear d drives ring gear a and then ring gear a
rotates to drive sprocket.
