General (Basic and Functional Symbols) Table 2. Rams

Complex hydraulic components and circuits can be Single acting


described to the engineer by using graphical symbols. The
following pages illustrate and give a brief description for
some of the more common symbols used.
Double acting
There are many symbols in use and it would be impossible
to include them all here. However it should be noted that
most are only variations or refinements on the basic
principles explained here. If more detailed information is Double ended
required you are recommended to obtain a copy of
BS2917 or IS01219.
Double acting with damping
Once familiar with the symbols, the engineer can use at rod area end
hydraulic circuit diagrams as an aid to fault finding. It will
be possible to see the complete hydraulic circuit and
decipher the relationship between hydraulic components. Table 3. Pumps and Motors

Control Valves
Control valves are usually represented by one or more
square boxes.

K Fig 1. ( T E-7) shows a control valve represented by


three boxes. The number of boxes indicates the number of
possible valve operating positions, (3 boxes - 3 positions
etc).

Fig 4.

It must be noted that not all spools are of the same type.
Fig 1.
Their operating designs can be seen by following the path
the flow arrows take in their respective operating squares.
K Fig 2. ( T E-7) - In circuit diagrams the pipework is
usually shown connected to the box which represents the
Three typical JCB style spools are known as 'D' spools, 'F'
unoperated condition. (Hydraulic circuit diagrams are
spools and 'N' spools.
usually shown in the unoperated condition).
The 'D' spools generally control rams because when in the
neutral position the outlet ports are blocked, preventing
ram movement. K Fig 4. ( T E-7) shows a 'D' type spool.

K Fig 5. ( T E-7) - 'F' spools are often shown as four


position spools with the three normal positions for neutral
and service control; and the forth position, which has a
Fig 2. detent, connects both sides of the ram together to allow the
service to 'float'.
K Fig 4. ( T E-7) shows a valve described as a 3-position,
4-port control valve. Port describes the openings to and
from the valve by which the hydraulic fluid enters or leaves.
In the fig shown, Position 2 indicates that in an unoperated
condition all 4 ports are blocked.

Fig 5.

K Fig 6. ( T E-7) - 'N' spools are sometimes used to


control hydraulic motors, and it can be seen from the flow
arrows, that in neutral position both service ports are
connected to the exhaust oil port
Fig 3.

If the valve spool was moved to Position 1, movement of


the spool would connect Port P1 to Port P2, and Port P3 to
Port P4. K Fig 4. ( T E-7).

If the valve spool was moved to Position 3, movement of


the spool would connect Port P1 to Port P4, and Port P3 to Fig 6.

If the lever operated spool is moved away from neutral


position hydraulic fluid is directed to either head side or rod
side of hydraulic ram 7-G. Notice that the fluid must first
open one way valve 7-F before flowing to the ram.

Neutral Circuit

Neutral Circuit

With all the controls in the neutral position, flow from pump
A1 enters the main control valve at port P1 and flow from
pump A2 enters the main control valve at port P2.

Oil is allowed to flow across all of the spools via the neutral
gallery when all controls are in the neutral position. Oil from
pump A1 exits port Ps1 and oil from pump A2, exits port
Ps2 at the top of the main control valve. Both flows of oil
meet a separate restrictor and relief valve. Some oil will
pass through the restrictor and back to tank, creating back
pressure in the line. Oil is exhausted across the relief
valves at 40 bar (580 lb/in2). The back pressure is sensed
at ports Ps1 and Ps2 and ports Pt1 and Pt2 of the pumps,
holding the pumps on minimum flow.

Flow from the servo pump enters the valve block at port
Pp, where it meets 3 restrictors. These maintain the
pressure on the input side at full servo pressure. Oil that
crosses the restrictors is allowed back to tank after passing
over the neutral gallery of the spools. No pressure is
created in this line whilst all controls are in neutral, allowing
all pressure switches to remain in the open position.

When both tracks are selected, servo pressure from port 2


(LH travel lever), and port 4 (RH travel lever) enters the
main control valve at Pa1 and Pa6 respectively, selecting
the left and right hand travel spools K Fig 10. ( T E-24).

Flow from pump A1 is available at the LH travel spool and


is directed to the LH travel motor via port A1 of the Main
control valve, through the rotary coupling and into port P1
on the LH travel motor. Exhaust oil from the motor enters
the main control valve at port B1 and is directed by the LH
travel spool to the tank port.

Straight Line Travel

Refer to Travel speed for travel circuit servo function and


Boom Up for servo function of Boom up. Servo pressure
entering at port Pp on the main control valve 10 is blocked
by the Travel spool and Boom (2) spool, this causes back
pressure which selects the travel linear travel spool.

Flow from pump A1 is available to the left hand Travel


spool and the Linear travel spool which diverts the flow to
the right hand Travel motor.

Flow from pump A2 is available to all the functions on the


left hand side of the Main control valve via the parallel
gallery. If any excavator function is selected at slow speed
and does not require the full flow from pump A2, then the
extra flow is used in the travel circuit via (as long as the
travel circuit is at a lower pressure) the check valve at the
right hand travel spool, a restrictor gives low priority to the
travel circuit. If the Boom up is selected, both Boom 1 and
2 spools are fed from the pump A2 through the left and
right hand parallel gallery. When both Travel spools are
selected, the loss of pressure in the neutral gallery is
sensed at the pumps through ports Ps1 and Ps2 on the
main control valve. The pumps come onto full flow
K Fig 11. ( T E-26).

For schematic, K Fig 12. ( T E-28).

Servo pressure from the hand controller enters the servo


restriction valve and is divided between the Boom (1) spool
valve port Pa8 and the boom (2) spool on the main control
valve 10. The servo restriction valve provides a smoothing
effect to the service circuits.

Flow from pump A2 is stopped by the Boom (1) spool and


diverted via the parallel gallery to the Boom (1) spool. The
oil passes through the spool and merges with the flow from
pump A1. Flow from pump A1 in the neutral gallery is
stopped by the Boom (2) spool and diverted via the parallel
gallery to the Boom (2) spool. The oil passes through the
spool and merges with the flow from pump A2.

The pressure lifts the Boom holding valve BHV off its seat
allowing oil to leave the main control valve at port B8 to
enter the Boom rams 7 and 8. Exhaust oil enters the Main
control PS1and P2 at port B8 and crosses the Boom (1)
spool to tank.

Pressure is lost on both negative control ports Ps1 and


Ps2, which is sensed at the pumps which come onto full
flow.

Servo pressure from the Hand controller enters the Servo


Shuttle valve 30 at port A4 and is distributed to:

1 Port C2 to the Main control valve at port Pc2. The


Boom holding spool valve is moved across allowing
pressure at the top of the Boom Holding Valve BHV to
exhaust to tank.

2 Port B4 to port E of the Cushion control valve 34. The


oil flows across the unrestricted part of the spool and
out of port G to the main control valve at port Pb8,
moving the spool to the down position.

Flow from pump A2 travels through the neutral gallery to


the Boom (1) spool. The flow is restricted allowing a
reduced pressure at port Ps2 which is sensed at Pm2 of
the pump A2 which increases flow (less than full flow). Oil
flow also passes through the parallel gallery to the Boom
(1) spool and is directed to the Boom rams 6 via port B8.
Exhaust oil passes through to the Main control valve at 10
port A8, lifts the Boom Holding Valve BHV off its seat and
passes through the Boom (1) spool and exhausts to tank.

Exhaust oil passing through the spool can be regenerated


into the feed side of the rams. A check valve in the spool
allows oil to enter the pressure side of the spool, if the
returning oil is at a higher pressure, due to the weight of the
boom or load, item A. The restrictor creates back pressure,
causing the check valve to open K Fig 13. ( T E-30).

Servo pressure from the Hand controller 39 is sent directly


to port C3 and port Pa 9 of the main control valve 10, to
activate the dipper spool, and through restriction valve to
port Pa5 on the main control valve 10, activating the Dipper

via the parallel gallery. Flow from pump A2 is blocked at the
Dipper (2) spool and joins the flow from pump A1 just after
the Dipper (1) spool.

Exhaust oil from the ram enters the Main control valve at

Servo pressure from the Hand controller 39 is distributed


to C4 Port Pb9 on the Main control valve. From the out port
of the restriction valve, it flows to port Pb5 and port Pc1 on
the Main control valve 10 and to the Dipper (1) spool and
the dipper load hold check valve DHV respectively.

Flow from pump A1 is available at the Dipper (1) spool via


the left hand neutral gallery or after passing over the
straight line travel spool via the parallel gallery. At the
Dipper spool flow is diverted to the Dipper ram 2. Pressure
is sensed at the regeneration spool RGS and moves it to
the lesser restricted position.

Flow from pump A2 is blocked at the Dipper (2) spool and


joins the flow of pump A1 just after the Dipper (1) spool.

Exhaust oil from the ram passes to the Main control valve
10 at port A5 through Dipper hold check valve DHV (that
has been released by servo pressure) to the Dipper (1).
This can be at a higher pressure than the feed oil due to
the effect of gravity on the dipper arm when first selected.
This causes the regeneration check valve RG to open,
feeding a proportion of exhaust oil into the feed side. The
remaining exhaust oil returns to tank passing over the
regeneration spool RGS. The regeneration spool has two
restrictors, one more restrictive than the other. The
restrictors cause back pressure, encouraging the
regeneration check valve to open. As the pressure drops
the regeneration spool moves across to the more
restricted position. When the feed pressure is greater than
the exhaust pressure the regeneration check valve will
close.

Exhaust oil from the Dipper (1) spools travels over


restrictors R2 and R 3 and to tank via the unselect travel
spool K Fig 15. ( T E-34).

Servo pressure from port 2 of the Hand controller 33


selects the bucket spool open position via port Pa7 of the
Main control valve.

Flow from pump A2 is available to the Bucket spool via the


parallel gallery. At the spool the flow is diverted to port B7
of the Main control valve 10 to the Bucket ram 6. Returning
oil enters the Main control valve 10 at port A7 and is
diverted by the Bucket spool to the tank. Pressure in the
neutral circuit drops after the Bucket spool is selected. This
is sensed at the port Ps2 and at the pump, bringing it onto
full flow K Fig 16. ( T E-36).

Main Pumps (P1 and P2)


The rotary group consists of the drive shaft 7, cylinder rod
19, piston shoe 4, 5, press plate 11, spherical bush 12,
spacer 13 and cylinder spring 14. The drive shaft is
supported on both sides by the bearings 8, 16. The shoe is
caulked on the piston and forms the spherical coupler, and
because it slides slightly on the shoe plate 6, it has a 6
pocket to balance the oil pressure.

The subgroup, which is made up of the piston and shoe is


held down on the shoe plate by the cylinder spring through
5
the press plate and spherical bush. In the same way, the
cylinder block is held down on the valve plate 15 by the
cylinder spring. 18
4
The swash plate group consists of the swash plate 10,
shoe plate 6, swash plate support 9 bush 2 pin 3 and servo 17
piston 1. The swash plate is supported by the swash plate
support at the cylindrical part formed by the side opposite
to the shoe sliding surface. The oil pressure controlled by 16
the regulator is guided to the hydraulic cavities on both
sides of the servo piston which moves the servo piston to
the left and right, causing the swash plate, through the
15
spherical portion of the pin, to press on the swash plate
support and changes the angle of the swash plate.
14
The valve cover group comprises of the valve block 17, 13
valve plate 13 and valve plate pin 18. The valve plate, 3
which has two oval shaped ports, is on the valve block and
delivers oil to and recovers oil from the cylinder block. The
12
oil directed by the valve plate flows through the valve block 2 11
and is connected to the outer piping.

1 10
When the drive shaft is driven by the engine, the cylinder
block rotates simultaneously with the spline coupling. 9
When the swash plate is leaning, the piston in the cylinder
block rotates simultaneously with the cylinder block and 8
causes reciprocal motion relative to the cylinder.

Therefore, during one rotation, the piston moves away 7


from the valve plate for 180° (enough for oil suction) and
A406500-1
approaches the valve plate for the remaining 180°. When
Fig 1.
the swash plate leaning angle is at the minimum 5° the
piston does not stroke and does not deliver oil.

Replacement
Replacement is the reversal of removal procedure but note
the following:

– When fitting a new pump, the shaft end spline may be


coated with a anti-rust coating. Remove this coating
with a suitable cleaning agent and apply a lubricant to
the shaft being careful not to get either on to the oil
seal of the pump.
– The bevelled edge of the pump coupling 4 must be
fitted facing the pump.
– To prevent the rubber flange 5 from twisting on
installation, apply a small amount of lubricant to the
under face axial and radial screws
– Locate the rubber flange 5 of the pump into the four
engine studs 8.
– Before fastening pump flange 2 to engine, make sure
the mating surfaces are fully together.
– Apply JCB Threadlocker to bolts 3 and 6.
– Fill the pump casing inside fully with oil and operate
at low engine revs with no services selected for 3
minutes.

!MWARNING
Fluid Under Pressure
Fine jets of fluid at high pressure can penetrate the
skin. Keep face and hands well clear of fluid under
pressure and wear protective glasses and gloves.
Hold a piece of cardboard close to suspected leaks
and then inspect the cardboard for signs of fluid. If
fluid penetrates your skin, get medical help
immediately.
INT-3-1-10_3

– If there is any air left in the circuit or pump, this may


cause faulty operation or damage so be sure to bleed
the air completely.
– It is not desirable to leave the pump motor unused for
a long period of time (more than one year.) At
intervals, start the engine even if for short periods of
time. When left unused by itself, rotating the shaft end
by hand can be effective. If left unused for an
extended period of time, inspection for overhaul will
become necessary.

Operation
TE-008

The remote control valve is a pressure reduction valve springs also provide a resistive force, giving the operator a
used to control the servo pressure operated system. Four `tactile feel' of the controls.
pressure reduction valves used to control the servo
pressure are located in the main housing. Direction of the The control handles contain electrical push button and

mounted in the arm rests on both sides of the operator's
seat.

The pressure reduction unit is comprised of spools 17,


pressure control springs, return springs and spring seats
13. The spools 17 are held against the plungers 11 by the
return springs 15. When the control handle is tilted, the
plungers 11 move down, depressing the return spring
seats 13, simultaneously compressing the pressure
control springs moving the spool, allowing hydraulic oil to
flow to the designated pilot port.

The lower end of the main body contains the main inlet port
P, outlet port T to tank and the servo pressure outlet ports
1, 2, 3 and 4.

The servo pressure controls the stroke and direction of the


main control valve spools. This is achieved by providing a
spring at one end of the main control valve spools and
applying pilot pressure to the opposite end. (In some
cases, pilot pressure is applied to both ends of the control
valve spool.)

Function
Oil supplied by the hydraulic servo pump enters at port P
and the function of the spools 17 is to direct oil from the
inlet port P to the output ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 or alternatively,
to the exhaust port T to tank. The pressure control springs
act on the spools 17 to determine pressure at each port.
Plungers 11 slide in the guides to vary the compression in
the springs. The control handle, fixed to the adjusting nut
24 and circular rocker plate 25 is operated to move the
plungers 11. The control handle is able to rotate 360°
around the knuckle joint 26.

The return springs operate between the casing and the


seats 13, regardless of the outlet pilot pressure, returning
the plungers 11 to their outer positions, ensuring the
spools 17 return to their neutral (closed) positions. The

Inspection
Note: Before assembling the remote control valve make
sure that a thorough inspection of all the components is
carried out. Remember that although a failed component
may be easy to identify, the cause may be less easy to
trace. It is also possible that a failed component may have
caused damage to other areas of the valve.

1 Carefully clean all components using a suitable


degreasing agent.
24
2 Carefully inspect all components for signs of
excessive wear or damage. If wear or damage is
evident, components must be renewed. 25

Item Inspection and Maintenance Standards


The crescent-shaped ports in the balance plate, which are in sliding contact with the
end face of the cylinder assembly shaft, act to switch between high and low oil
pressure. Any damage to the sliding contact face will increase leakage, causing a
decrease in volumetric efficiency and an increase in slip. Any seizure of the sliding

contact face causes a reduction in mechanical efficiency and can lead to further
damage. If the grooves or marks depths are less than 0.03 mm (.001 in), the plate can
be corrected using fine emery cloth. If the wear is greater than 0.03 mm (.001 in), the
plate should be renewed. The plate should be renewed if it shows any sign of seizure.
Correct any damage to the sliding contact face of the slipper feet by using fine emery

Furthermore from an economic angle it extends the life of
the hydraulic fluid if quality is maintained.

Effects of Contamination
Once inside the system, hydraulic circuit contaminants
greatly effect the performance and life of hydraulic
equipment. For example, contaminants in a hydraulic
pump develop internal wear to cause internal leakage and
hence lower discharges. Wear particles generated will
circulate with the hydraulic fluid to cause further
deterioration in the performance of this and other
equipment. Contaminants also enter principal sliding
sections of the equipment causing temporary malfunction,
scuffing, sticking and leakage and can lead to major
problems.The main contaminants can be classified as
follows:

1 Solid Particles - sand, fibres, metallic particles,


welding scale, sealing materials and wear particles
etc. S168050-1
Fig 1. Cleaning Unit
2 Liquid - usually water and incompatible oils and
greases.

3 Gases - Air, sulphur dioxide etc. which can create


corrosive compounds if dissolved in the fluid.

These contaminants can appear during manufacture,


assembly and operation.

Cleaning Operation
The purpose of cleaning oil is to remove contaminants of
all types and sludge by filtering hydraulic fluid through a

– Human Hair = 70 microns (0.07 mm, 0.00275 in)
– Grain of Salt = 100 microns (0.1 mm, 0.00394 in)

Smallest particle visible to the naked eye is 40 microns


(0.00157) approximately.

Standards will often be quoted to ISO (International


Standards Organisation) for which literature can be
obtained.

Filters
The filter assembly fitted to all product ranges is designed
to filter all the contamination that is generated through use
to the required level of cleanliness. The filter must be
serviced to the requirements of the machine Service
Schedules.

To ensure optimum performance and reliability it is


important that the machines hydraulic system is serviced
periodically in accordance with the manufacturers
requirements.
