Foreword

8.1.2.1

Danger in the event of non-observance of the safety instructions

The Technical Handbook contains important information for personnel servicing the machine.
Machine specifications listed elsewhere in the
machine documents are not always repeated in
this book.

This TEREX hydraulic excavator


has been built in accordance with
state-of-the-art standards and the
recognized safety rules.

the operating instructions

However, operating the machine if


a fault is suspected or has occurred, or carrying out repair work
inexpertly may

the spare-parts list

endanger the lives of persons in


contact with it

the technical handbook

damage the machine and other


property.

The present brochure does not contain the specifications of auxiliary units for the operation of additional or optional equipment or the specifications of
individual machines.

The hydraulic excavator must be


stopped immediately on any damage being suspected or occurring
to ensure that the safety of the operator, of other persons at the
place of use or of other material
property is not compromised.

The documentation of an TEREX Mining machine


includes:

The refilling quantities specified for consumables


are approximate quantities which are intended as a
help for planning consumable requirements.
Each unit is equipped with suitable checking devices, e.g. dipstick or checking plugs, permitting
the operator to check proper filling of the units.

2440575e - (00) - 11.96

All components of TEREX machines are carefully co-ordinated.


Trouble-free operation and a long
service life can only be achieved
with original TEREX spare parts.

Rules for safety at work

Personnel
Personnel
The machine must not be started
by unauthorized persons.
It must therefore be secured.
Observe the accident prevention
regulations.
The hydraulic excavator may be
operated, serviced or repaired only
by specially trained and authorized
personnel with the appropriate
technical know-how.
If such know-how is lacking, meticulous instruction must be given
by experienced personnel, e.g.
from TEREX.
The personnel must have read and
understood the operating instructions and in particular the chapter
Fundamental
Safety Instructions.
Only such persons may start up
the machine during assembly work
in order to adjust the attachments.

Personal protective
working clothing:

gear

and

Wear a safety helmet, safety footwear and gloves.


Wear closely fitting working clothing when working on the machine.
Loose, wide garments may catch
on machine parts and result in injury.
Persons carrying out work at
greater heights must be equipped
with safety harnesses. Always put
on a tested harness which must be
equipped with fall arrestors and
safety lines.
If the work to be carried out requires auxiliaries, e.g. marshallers,
the competences of each individual helper must be clearly defined
beforehand. The individual responsibilities must be meticulously observed to avoid unclear
competences endangering safety.

Incorrect operation of the machine


or the attachments may give rise to
life-threatening situations.
During all works, always observe
the start-up and shut-down procedures prescribed in the operating
instructions.

Page 8.1 - 2

2440575e - (00) - 11.96

8.1

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Tools and auxiliaries


Tools, hoists, slings, trestles and
other devices must be in a reliable,
safe state.
Metal splinters may cause injury
when attachment bolts are being
driven in or out. A brass or copper
mandrel should therefore be used
for this purpose, and goggles must
be worn.
For climbing onto or off the machine, use only the ladders, steps,
platforms and handrails provided
for this purpose.
Always keep ladders, steps and
platforms in a non-slip state. Remove any oil, grease, earth, clay,
snow, ice and other foreign matter
immediately.

Securing the working equipment


Before carrying out assembly
work, the machine and the attachments must be secured against inadvertent and unauthorized starting, e.g. by placing chocks under
the wheels or tracks and by standing the working equipment on the
ground.
Stand the working equipment on
the ground in such a way that no
movements can be made when
mechanical or hydraulic connections become detached.
Secure any equipment or component which is to be mounted or
dismantled or whose position is to
be changed using hoists or appropriate slinging/supporting devices
to prevent them from moving, slipping or falling inadvertently.

2440575e - (00) - 11.96

Systems and units (e.g. pipes,


coolers,
hydraulic
reservoirs,
compressed-air reservoirs) must
be properly depressurized before
being opened.
Protective devices on moving machine parts may be opened or removed only when the drive unit is
stationary and protected against
inadvertent starting.
Before recommissioning, all protective devices must be refitted.
Before carrying out assembly
work, the machine and the equipment must be secured against inadvertent starting, e.g. by placing
chocks under the wheels or tracks
and by standing the working
equipment on the ground.

Hydraulic and lubricating system:


Always observe the safety regulations applicable to the product
when handling oils, greases and
other chemical substances.
Unused but open bores, pipelines
and hose connections must be
closed in a pressure-tight manner.
Refill collected hydraulic oil back
into the hydraulic system only
through the return-flow filters. Dispose of waste oil without polluting
the environment.
Observe the correct working sequence when fitting or replacing
components or equipment. The
working sequence has been specified and tested by qualified experts.
.

Page 8.1 - 3

8.1

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

8.1.2.3
When carrying out work and especially work on the electrical system
involving tools, spare parts, etc.
coming into contact with electric
cables, the battery main switch
must be set to the 'OFF' position.

Unauthorized conversions or modifications of the hydraulic excavator


are forbidden for reasons of safety.
The nominal pressure of pressure
relief valves must not be modified
without explicit approval from
TEREX. Do not remove the lead
seals from pressure-relief valves
and pressure accumulators.

Replace defective, mechanically


prestressed units only as an entirety. Never open them. In exceptional cases, open only when the
system and the operating sequence are precisely known. The
Technical Manual contains no information on such work.
When the machine is at operating
temperature, the consumables are
at least at the same temperature.
Precautions must therefore be
taken to prevent burning or scalding.
Be careful when handling acids,
e.g. battery acid. Acid splashes
may injure the eyes and the skin.
Do not smoke when
flammable liquids.

handling

Be careful with naked flames and


unprotected light. Not only fuel but
also other consumables often have
a low flash point and catch fire
easily.

Conversions or modifications to the


machine

8.1.2.4

Recommissioning

Prior to recommissioning:

Grease all lubricating points.

Check all oil levels and make the


necessary corrections.

Carry out function checks of all


repaired components

Check all functions of the excavator including the brakes during


a test run. Release the hydraulic
excavator for recommissioning
only after all functions have been
found to work perfectly.

before starting any work.

8.2.1 Depressurizing of the hydraulic


system
Hydraulic systems are only to be opened up when
they are free of pressure. It is possible for considerable back pressure to be present in the hydraulic-systems, e.g. primary pressure from the last
movement, even when the excavator is parked on
a level surface with its equipment on the ground
(Figs. 1 and 2).
Residual pressure drops only gradually. If work is
to be carried out on the hydraulic system(s) immediately after stopping the excavator, then the system(s) is/are to be freed of pressure.

Before working on the hydraulic


system make sure, that the system
is depressurized and remaining
pressures are relieved.
Shut off the engine(s).
Components (e.g. hydraulic tank,
cylinders, valves) may be hot and
cause severe burns.
Secure the machine before working on it.
Avoid contact of hydraulic oil with
the skin. This can be harmful.
Always wear safety glasses, safety
gloves and firm protective clothing.

Section 3): Track tensioning system


The track tensioning circuit has to be depressurized by completely opening (screwing out) the
safety valves in the undercarriage.
Section 4): Swing circuit
The swing system has to be depressurized with
help of the Minime-ports (test-ports).
Section 5): Cooling circuit
Depressurizing of the cooling circuit is not required.

Be extreme carefully when working


on hydraulic cylinders or pressure
lines of the equipment!
Even when following the safety
procedure, there may still a certain
pressure be left in the system!

DEPRESSURIZING, BLEEDING, FLUSHING


Bleeding air from the hydraulic
system

Bleed air from hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors,


hydraulic cylinder and servo circuits:

before commissioning the excavator, e.g.


following major servicing/repair to the hydraulics, or after a long period out of operation.

after each oil change

Check the hydraulic system under load. Listen for


noises in the pumps of motors. Jerky movements
are an indication of air pockets in the system. Actuate all hydraulic functions several times to eliminate the air pockets.

The intake and running characteristics of the hydraulic components can otherwise be greatly affected. Hydraulic oil also serves as a lubricant for
these components. A dry run can lead to total
failure in a very short time.
Hydraulic pumps and -motors
Bleed air from pumps and motors after each oil
change. To bleed, fill clean oil through the highest
leakage oil port up to the bottom edge of the port.
Main pumps:
Swing pumps:

8.2.3

Flushing the hydraulic system

The following instructions are a brief compilation of


the procedures needed to clean/flush the hydraulic
system. The functions and the designs of the individual components are described in the relevant
sections of the Technical Handbook.
It is assumed that the machine remains on site
while flushing is being carried out. Hydraulic components, e.g. cylinders, should only be overhauled/repaired in an enclosed, clean workshop.
If the hydraulic component (e.g. pump or cylinder)
is damaged, the system(s) must be checked to see
whether any chips from the component have entered into the system. To do this, remove and inspect the magnetic rods and return flow filters.

2. Type and source of contamination

Blank metal particles:


Damaged bearings in pumps or motors.

Steel particles that look like machine turnings:


Internal components in a cylinder have
seized. Pieces of guide bands, O-rings and
seals are then often to be found in the filters.

Individual parts that appear to be pieces of


springs or valve plates:
Damaged valve(s).

These are only guidelines. When damage is extensive, all of these symptoms can appear at once.

1. Flushing is required under following conditions:

If the quantity, size and appearance of the


metal particles on the magnetic rod is different
to that arising in normal operation, or if they
are of completely different nature.

If the amount of magnetic and non-magnetic


debris caught in the return flow filter is
greater than usual.

Whenever a damaged hydraulic component


has been changed. Flushing can be limited to
the immediate and upline vicinities of the
component, as long as these can be isolated
completely.

5. Steps in case of valve damage

6. Further steps

Locate the damaged valve(s).

If all of the missing parts are found, it is only


necessary to change the valve. Further action
is not needed.

If the hydraulic system has been extensively contaminated with chips, the following procedures are
also necessary:

If all of the parts cannot be found, continue


the search at the following points:

Return flow filter


Oil tank
Components downline of the damaged
valve, e.g. cylinders, valves, motors.

Strip, clean and re-install the primary relief


valves.

Strip, clean and re-install the secondary relief


valves.

Clean and check the cooling circuit if contamination is found in the oil tank:
Remove the cooler. Clean outside and inside in both directions of flow. The cooler is
to be changed if the contamination cannot
be completely removed from the cooling fins.
Flush the hydraulic lines or blow through
with compressed air.

RH 200 Diesel - 2471385e - (00) 10.99

Check and clean the servo control valves.

If hydraulically driven ancillary attachments


are fitted, their systems must also be
checked, especially if the cause of the contamination cannot be traced in the excavators
systems. Follow the relevant manufacturers
instructions.

DEPRESSURIZING, BLEEDING, FLUSHING

7. Flushing procedure
The extent of flushing required depends upon the
point at which the contamination has entered. All
downline and branching systems are to be flushed
back to the filter(s). The filter(s) must be checked
thoroughly to determine whether they have
stopped all contamination from flowing further:
7.1 In case of pump damage (pump without
high pressure filter):

7.2 In case of pump damage (pump with high


pressure filter):
In this case flushing is not required, but check
operation (see section 8).
7.3 In case of cylinder damage (see section 4):

Fit new return flow element.

Short circuit the connections to the replacement cylinder.

Fit a new return flow element.

Fill fresh oil through the return flow filter.

Connect the lines to individual consumers


directly (short circuit). Disconnect lines that
are still connected to consumers.

Run the engine up to max. speed.


Wait until filter warning light has gone out and
the summon the cylinder function.

Run the cylinder in each direction for approx.


1 minute each. Shift briefly into neutral.
Each consumer should be flushed for at least
5 minutes.

Change return flow element and clean magnetic rod.

Repeat flushing procedure, with all consumers


being actuated briefly, one after the other.

Check return flow filter and magnetic rod


again.

Connect cylinder correctly and bleed air.

Check oil level in tank.

Put excavator back to work.

Run the engine up to max. speed.


Wait until the filter warning light has gone out
and then summon the relevant functions.
Summon each hydraulic function one at a
time and for approx. 1 minute in each direction. Shift several times briefly into neutral.
Each consumer should be run for at least 5
minutes.

Change return filter element and clean magnetic rod.

Repeat the flushing procedure. Again actuate


all consumers, one after the other, but this
time only for a short period.

Check filter and magnetic rod again.

DESCRIPTION OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM - FS


Components of the hydraulic
system of the RH 200 (FS)

Attention!
Position nos. are referred to circuit diagram
Part-No. 3 672 750 (03) in chapter 8.3.4.
Some items are numbered on the schematic
but not mentioned here. They are not important
for the hydraulic functioning.

Drive unit

Pos. 1

The two water - cooled Cummins engines are 12 cylinder V engines with turbo-charging and inter cooling.

Pump transfer gearbox

Pos. 2

Each of the 3 - stage spur - wheel gearboxes is


driven via a diaphragm coupling from one of the
engines and distributes engine output to the relevant hydraulic pumps.

Variable - displacement pump

Pos. 3

The 4 main pumps for working equipment and


travel movements are axial - piston bent axis
pumps with slipper bearing. Slipper bearings are
hydraulically swimming bearings that increase
the pump`s service life.

Servo pump

The 4 servo pumps are fixed - displacement gear type pumps that are mounted on the pump transfer
gearboxes (2) and that supply the servo circuit (40
bar) and the auxiliary circuit (70 bar).

Axial piston pump A 10 V

free

Pos. 8

free

Pos. 9

Oil cooling pump

Pos. 10

Four fixed - displacement gear - type pumps are


mounted onto the swing pumps (4). They constantly draw oil from the tank and pump it to the
fan motors and the oil coolers.

Fan pump A 10 V

Pos. 11

The fan wheel for water cooling of the diesel engine is driven by an adjustable axial-piston pump
per drive unit. The volume flow of the pump and
thus the speed of the fan wheel is electronically
controlled as a function of the water temperature.

Pos. 12 - 22

Pos. 4
Pump governing valve

The 4 swing pumps to move the superstructure are


variable - displacement axial - piston swash plate
pumps. They are especially suited for operation in
closed circuits. The pump flow is infinitely variable
and increases from 0 to max while the pump
rotary group is being tilted out. If the swash plate is
de-stroked through the zero position, the direction of the oil flow is altered smoothly.

free

Pos. 7

The 2 pressure regulated axial piston pumps are


working as charge pumps for the swing circuit.

free
Swing pump

Pos. 6

Pos. 5

RH 200 Diesel (FS) - 3657771e.doc - (01) - 07.03

Pos. 23

The group comprises two proportional valves, two


metering connections and a housing.
These valves control the main pumps (3). They are
controlled by the microprocessor in the PMS system and govern the flows from the main pumps
depending upon the actual pressure. Each pair of
main pumps is governed by one proportional valve.
The valves are actuated by adjustable, oil - immersed DC solenoids and transform electrical
currents proportionally into hydraulic pressure.

Page 8.3 - 5

8.3

DESCRIPTION OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM - FS

A solenoid current of 830 mA corresponds to a


pressure of 42 bar in the pump governors. A current of 230 mA corresponds to 10 bar.

The valves are pilot controlled and have variable


settings.

free

Pos. 24

2 - way valve

Proportional valve plate

Pos. 25

Four valves for the logical co - ordination of the


main pumps (3).
They isolate the main pumps against one another
and prevent a stationary engine from being turned
over by it's pumps when only the other engine is
running.

The valve plate contains the proportional valves


and the 3/2 way valves for operation of cylinders,
swing and travel function.

Valve bank, compl.

Pos. 26

Pos. 31

Distributor plate for main pumps


Pos. 29
An assembly group comprising four primary pressure relief valves (36), four two - way valves (37),
four caps (38), four high - pressure filters (39) and
a housing with two check valves. The two check
valves isolate the main pumps (3/P1 & P2) from
the pumps (3/P3 & P4) when only the right - hand
engine is running.

Pressure relief valve

Pos. 30

The relief valves are used as primary pressure


relief valves for the main pumps. They limit the
maximum pressure that can be reached by the
pumps (3) and therefore protect the system
against overload.

Page 8.3 - 6

Pos. 32

The high - pressure filters in the high - pressure


lines from the main pumps protect the downline
units (e. g. control blocks and cylinders) against
metal chips and particles from the pumps (3). The
filter elements are differential pressure resistant
and do not have a bypass valve. The oil flows
through the HP filters from outside to inside.

The two pilot controlled, variable setting pressure


relief valves protect the cooler circuit against overpressure, e. g. in case of a line blockage.

Thermostat

Pos. 87

The four thermostats are fully open at oil temperatures under 40C. The majority of the oil then
flows directly back into the tank. As the temperature rises, the thermostats begin to close so that
an increasing amount of oil flows through the fan
motors and the coolers. At 52C the thermostats
are fully closed and the full oil flow passes through
the fan motors to the coolers.

always determined by the working pressure of the
pumps (3).

RH 200 Diesel (FS) - 3657771e.doc - (01) - 07.03

Shuttle valve

Pos. 101

The shuttle valve is connecting the control pressure lines Y1 and Y 2 of the pressure governing
valve (105) to the pressure relief valve (109).

Swing motor

Pos. 102

The swing motors are 40, fixed - displacement


axial piston pumps whose output speed is proportional to the flow of oil. The output torque increases
with the pressure drop over the motor.

gines are running. If one of the engines is shut


down, the relevant blocking valves close absolutely
tightly and prevent the stationary engine from being turned over by pressure oil acting in reverse
through swing motor, swing pump and transfer
gearbox.

The valve limits the pressure that controls the


pressure governing valve (105) to max. 31 bar.
The valve is direct acting and has a variable setting.

free
free

Pos. 104

Pressure governing valve

Pos. 105

Governs the torque in the closed - loop swing circuit.


The valve governs the pressure and direction of oil
flow (and therefore extent and direction of the
swing motors` output ) depending upon the selected control pressure
The radio between control pressure and working
pressure is approx. 1 : 12, i. e. 10 bar control pressure on ports (Y 1 or Y 2) corresponds to 120 bar
operating pressure in the swing circuit.

Flushing valve

Pos. 106

The valve flushes the oil in the closed - loop swing


circuit. Each time a swing function is summoned, a
certain amount of oil is flushed out of the low pressure side. The charge pumps mounted on the
swing pumps replace this oil with filtered, cooled oil
from the tank.

High - pressure filter

brake.
The four track parking brakes are wet, multi - disk
brakes that are engaged under spring force and
released by hydraulic pressure (18 - 20 bar).

Travel motor

Pos. 121

The four track motors are variable - displacement,


bent - axis motors with tandem bearing arrangements. Servo pressure at port (X) sets the motors
to either of two mechanically limited tilt angles. The
maximum tilt angle is selected when servo pressure is O . The minimum tilt angle is reached
when servo pressure rises above 40 - 45 bar.
max. tilt angle = max. motor displacement = max.
output torque = min. output speed
min. tilt angle = min. motor displacement = min.
output torque = max. output speed
The governing pressure (at least 15 bar) is tapped
out of the respective high - pressure side using
check valves.

Pos. 107
free

The two HP filters in the swing circuit clean both


sides of the swing circuit. The check valves in the
filter heads lead the oil flows to the correct side to
flow through the filters. This is necessary as the
high and low - pressure sections of the circuit
change depending upon the direction of swing.

DESCRIPTION OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM - BH


Components of the hydraulic
system of the RH 200 (BH)

Attention!
Position nos. are referred to circuit diagram
Part-No. 3 672 770 (03) in chapter 8.3.4.
Some items are numbered on the schematic
but not mentioned here. They are not important
for the hydraulic functioning.

Drive unit

Pos. 1

The two water - cooled Cummins engines are 12 cylinder V engines with turbo-charging and inter cooling.

Pump transfer gearbox

Pos. 2

Each of the 3 - stage spur - wheel gearboxes is


driven via a diaphragm coupling from one of the
engines and distributes engine output to the relevant hydraulic pumps.

Variable - displacement pump

Pos. 3

The 4 main pumps for working equipment and


travel movements are axial - piston bent axis
pumps with slipper bearing. Slipper bearings are
hydraulically swimming bearings that increase
the pump`s service life.

Servo pump

The 4 servo pumps are fixed - displacement gear type pumps that are mounted on the pump transfer
gearboxes (2) and that supply the servo circuit (40
bar) and the auxiliary circuit (70 bar).

Axial piston pump A 10 V

Pos. 9

Oil cooling pump

Pos. 10

Four fixed - displacement gear - type pumps are


mounted onto the swing pumps (4). They constantly draw oil from the tank and pump it to the
fan motors and the oil coolers.

Fan pump A 10 V

Pos. 11

The fan wheel for water cooling of the diesel engine is driven by an adjustable axial-piston pump
per drive unit. The volume flow of the pump and
thus the speed of the fan wheel is electronically
controlled as a function of the water temperature.

Pos. 12 - 22

Pos. 4
Pump governing valve

The 4 swing pumps to move the superstructure are


variable - displacement axial - piston swash plate
pumps. They are especially suited for operation in
closed circuits. The pump flow is infinitely variable
and increases from 0 to max while the pump
rotary group is being tilted out. If the swash plate is
de-stroked through the zero position, the direction of the oil flow is altered smoothly.

RH 200 Diesel (BH) - 3657772e.doc - (01) - 07.03

Pos. 23

The group comprises two proportional valves, two


metering connections and a housing.
These valves control the main pumps (3). They are
controlled by the microprocessor in the PMS system and govern the flows from the main pumps
depending upon the actual pressure. Each pair of
main pumps is governed by one proportional valve.
The valves are actuated by adjustable, oil - immersed DC solenoids and transform electrical
currents proportionally into hydraulic pressure.

Page 8.3 - 5

Pos. 24

2 - way valve

Proportional valve plate

Pos. 25

Four valves for the logical co - ordination of the


main pumps (3).
They isolate the main pumps against one another
and prevent a stationary engine from being turned
over by it's pumps when only the other engine is
running.

The valve plate contains the proportional valves


and the 3/2 way valves for operation of cylinders,
swing and travel function.

Pos. 29
An assembly group comprising four primary pressure relief valves (36), four two - way valves (37),
four caps (38), four high - pressure filters (39) and
a housing with two check valves. The two check
valves isolate the main pumps (3/P1 & P2) from
the pumps (3/P3 + P4) when only the right - hand
engine is running.

Pressure relief valve

Pos. 30

The relief valves are used as primary pressure


relief valves for the main pumps. They limit the
maximum pressure that can be reached by the
pumps (3) and therefore protect the system
against overload.

Pos. 32

The high - pressure filters in the high - pressure


lines from the main pumps protect the downline
units (e. g. control blocks and cylinders) against
metal chips and particles from the pumps (3).
Other than in the return flow filters (29), the oil
flows through the HP filters from outside to in.

Pressure governing valve

Pos. 105

Governs the torque in the closed - loop swing circuit.


The valve governs the pressure and direction of oil
flow (and therefore extent and direction of the
swing motors` output ) depending upon the selected control pressure
The radio between control pressure and working
pressure is approx. 1 : 12, i. e. 10 bar control pressure on ports (Y 1 or Y 2) corresponds to 120 bar
operating pressure in the swing circuit.

The four track parking brakes are wet, multi - disk


brakes that are engaged under spring force and
released by hydraulic pressure (18 - 20 bar).

Travel motor

Pos. 121

The four track motors are variable - displacement,


bent - axis motors with tandem bearing arrangements. Servo pressure at port (X) sets the motors
to either of two mechanically limited tilt angles. The
maximum tilt angle is selected when servo pressure is O . The minimum tilt angle is reached
when servo pressure rises above 40 - 45 bar.

HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS

Hydraulic components

8.4.1

Main pumps

Each pump is equipped with a pressure-controlled


regulator (1, Fig. 1) with a control range of between
7,5 and 42,5 bar. At a control pressure of 42,5 bar
at the X1 port of the regulator, the pump is swivelled out to maximum flow-rate. At a control pressure of 7,5 bar, it is swivelled back to "zero" flowrate.
The regulator is controlled by an electro-magnetic
proportional valve connected to the electronic loadlimit regulator. (See also THB "PMS - Pump Managing System").

If the pressure at the connection (X 1) is reduced


by the load limit regulator, the regulator piston (1)
is operated by spring force. The chambers (A + C)
of the regulator cylinder (2) are interconnected. As
piston (B) has adjusting areas of different sizes,
the forces in chamber (A) are predominant. The
pump is reset to a smaller output until there is a
balance of forces.
With the restrictors (3) the swing speed of the
pump has been set at the factory.

Pressure cut-off
When the maximum working pressure of 320 bar is
reached in the system, the automatic pressure cutoff becomes active.
The pressure cut-off valve (4) is opened by the
system pressure and connects the chambers (A +
C) of the regulator cylinder (2) with each other. The
pump now swings to such a small output that the
system pressure is reliably maintained.
Via port Pst the cut-off pressure is increased during travel mode to 360 bar.
Important:
The engine speed is increasing to approx. 1 900
rpm, as less power is needed by the pumps.

Contamination switch

Fig. 1

Main pump regulator

If the oil in a pump is contaminated with metal particles, the contamination switch (S 64) switches on
a relevant warning indicator in the cab.

Function
The pressure oil required to swing out the pumps is
taken from the pump flow. It is constantly available
in chamber (C) of the regulator cylinder (2). At
operating pressures below 60 bar, chamber (C) is
pressurized via connection (X 2) with oil from the
auxiliary circuit. Otherwise it would be impossible
to swing out the pump.
At the same time the regulator piston (1) is pressurized via the proportional valve and connection
(X 1) with oil (max. 42.5 bar). It now connects the
chamber (A) of the regulator cylinder with the tank.
The pump swings out completely and supplies its
maximum output.

8.4.2

HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS

Swing pump

The swing pump is a variable displacement axialpiston pump in swash-plate design for closedcircuits.
The volume flow is proportional to the drive speed
and displacement volume and is infinitely adjustable.
With increasing swing-out, the swash-plate increases the volume flow from 0 up to its maximum
value.
If the swash-plate is adjusted through the zero
position, the volume flow changes its direction of
flow smoothly.
To protect the drive system, the pump is equipped
with two pressure relief valves for the respective
high-pressure side.
These valves act simultaneously as feed valves.
An integrated auxiliary pump serves as a feed
pump. The max. feed pressure is ensured by the
installed feed-pressure relief valve.

Torque control
Depending on the pre-selected control pressure,
the service pressure as well as the pressure direction and thus the level and direction of the torque
at the hydraulic motor are controlled infinitely adjustably.
This control permits virtually loss-free utilisation of
the drive system for both acceleration and braking
operations. No power is converted into heat by
means of pressure relief valves, and during the
braking operation the braking energy is fed back
into the pump transfer gearbox and relieves the
drive motor.
High pressure and control pressure are in a ratio of
12:1, i.e. the high pressure available at the hydraulic motor is theoretically approx. 12 times as high
as the control pressure applied at the pump regulator.

Servo circuit pressure relief valve

relief valve, two check valves and a housing.

The valve limits the pressure in the servo circuit to


40 bar. The valve is pilot controlled and has a variable setting.

Filter

Check valves

Two filters clean the oil flows of the two servo


pumps (6).

These two valves prevent either of the servo


pumps (6) from affecting the other, e. g. when only
one engine is running, they prevent oil being
pumped back into the tank through the stationary
servo pump.

Differential pressure (booster) valve


This valve increases the servo pressure from 40 to

When not activated, the control piston is kept in
neutral position by the resetting spring. In this position the connection between pump and consumer
is closed; the 2/2-way component is opened and
allows the oil to flow in free circulation from P to T.
If the control piston (2) is moved out of its neutral
position, the connection from pump to consumer is
opened by means of precision control grooves and
the 2/2-way component is throttled by means of
precision control grooves (negative overlap). The
pump pressure rises. When the pressure acting on

the consumer connection is reached, the oil starts


to flow to the consumer. Further shifting of the
control piston (2) results in the way to the tank
being opened via precision control grooves for the
oil coming from the consumer and gradual redirecting of the oil flow from the 2/2-way groove to
the consumer groove (precision control).
The max. travel of the control piston is 28mm.
The piston travel is divided into ca. 1/3 control
ledge overlap and 1/2 precision control range, with
the residual travel serving to produce the full
opening cross-section. The leakage-oil losses are
reduced by the overlap and a slight piston clearance.
The consumers can be sensitively controlled
through the large precision-control range.

DESCRIPTION OF HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS


Description of the hydraulic
circuits

For the following description, the hydraulic circuit


diagram has been separated into individual function circuits.
The item numbers refer to the hydraulic- or electric
circuit diagram.
The complete hydraulic circuit diagram can be
found in chapter 8.3.
This brief description is an additional information to
the training offered by the Service department. It
can not be a substitute for a detailed training
course!

8.5.1

Load-Limit Regulation

The excavator is fitted with two diesel engines (1),


each of which drives a transfer gearbox (2) to
which 2 main pumps (4), 2 swing pumps (6), 2
cooling pumps (7), 1 pump (8) for servo pressure
and 1 pump for gearbox oil cooling are attached.
Load-limit regulation (PMS 3) makes it possible to
fully utilize the available engine output. Any number of governed hydraulic pumps and consumers
without governors can be driven from one engine
on the condition that the overall power consumption of all non-governed consumers is lower than
the max. output of the motor, as the load-limit
regulation can only influence regulated pumps.
Load-limit regulation uses the actual electric power
consumption of the motor as a signal to start governing, and comes into action as soon as consumers demand more power than the available motor
output.

and finally through the return flow filters (29) back


into the tank.
The main pump P3 is passing through the RH 4spool valve block (90), the tank line pre-charging
valve (31) and finally through the return flow filters
(29) back into the tank.
The main pump P4 is passing through the LH 4spool valve block (90), the tank line pre-charging
valve (31) and finally through the return flow filters
(29) back into the tank.
Each of the two suction manifolds is provided with
a gate valve (26).
Non-return valves (40) are installed to prevent oil
from flowing back into a pump in case of single
engine operation.
The 4 main pumps are protected by pressure relief
valves (36) set at 380 bar (primary relief valves).
The high-pressure filters (39) have a filtering rate
of 100 m.
The tank line pre charging valves (31) have a fixed
setting of 10 bar and ensure that sufficient oil is
available to prevent consumer cavitation (see also
section Working functions).
The return flow filters (29) are monitored by a
pressure switch which reacts (at a switch pressure
of 1.5 bar) on filter contamination and releases a
warning signal in the cab. When filter contamination is excessive, by-pass valves (30) open and
allow the oil flow unfiltered back into the tank.

Oil circuits
With the engines (1) running, and a function is
activated, the main pumps (P1, P2, P3 and P4)
feed oil into the distributor plate (35) with pressure
relief valves (36), logic valves (37) and high pressure filters (39).
When both engines are running the main pump P1
is passing through a high-pressure filter (39), the
LH travel control block (83), the LH 4-spool valve
block (90), the tank line pre-charging valve (31)
and finally through the return flow filters (29) back
into the tank.
The main pump P2 is passing through the RH
travel control block (82), the RH 4-spool valve
block (90), the tank line pre-charging valve (31)

8.5.2

Pressure cut-off

On each main pump a pressure cut-off valve is


installed. The pressure cut-off is activated as soon
as the system pressure reaches its max. level of
300 bar for the cylinder functions and 360 bar for
the travel function.
The pressure cut-off valve is mounted on the
regulator of the main pump. It is opened under
system pressure and the pump then de-strokes to
such a reduced flow that only the pressure in the
system is maintained.

The 4 gear pumps (6) for the servo system are


driven by the engines (1) via the pump gearboxes
(2).
The pumps (6) suck the oil through the suction
manifolds from the hydraulic tank and feed into the
servo- and auxiliary pressure valve (40).
40 bar - Servo-pressure
Servo pressure is supplied for the following functions:

Regulators of the main pumps to enable regulation at low working pressure (fig. 1 & fig. 2).

Proportional valves (25) for operation of the 4spool control blocks (161) of the attachment.

Proportional valves (25) for operation of the


travel control blocks (92 & 93).

Proportional valves (25) for operation of the


swing system.

Supply of the pressure regulating valve (105)


for the swing circuit.

Solenoid valve (26/2) for travel parking brake.

Operation of the swing parking brake via solenoid control block (26/1).

The servo system is functional when the safety


switch in the operators seat is activated. Then
opening of the safety valves on plate (25) is possible.
An accumulator with valve (35) stores and provides
hydraulic energy for lowering the attachment or
depressurising the hydraulic cylinders in case the
engines are switched off.

8.5.4

Working functions (FS)

Remark:
The position numbers in the pictures of this
section are referring to the hydraulic circuit
diagram and the components listed in chapter
8.3 - Description of the hydraulic system.
Working functions are carried out with 4 main
pumps (3), all of which are feeding into open circuits - that means that oil flows from the consumers back into the tank (fig. 1 & fig. 2 & fig. 3).
Main pump P1:
In the neutral position of the control valves, but
after activation of the main pumps by PMS, oil
coming from the main pump P1 flows through a
high-pressure filter (32) to the RH 4-spool control
valve (161).
Connections from pumps to cylinders are closed.
The oil flows in idle circuit (free flow) from (P) to (T)
and then through the tank line pre-charging valves
(64) and return flow filters (62) back into the tank
(60).
Main pump P2:
In the neutral position of the control valves, but
after activation of the main pumps by PMS, oil
coming from the main pump P2 flows through a
high-pressure filter (32) and the RH travel control
valve (92) to the RH 4-spool control valve (161).
Connections from pumps to cylinders are closed.
The oil flows in idle circuit (free flow) from (P) to (T)
and then through the tank line pre-charging valves
(64) and return flow filters (62) back into the tank
(60).
Main pump P3:
In the neutral position of the valve blocks, but after
activation of the main pumps by PMS, oil coming
from the main pump P3 flows through a highpressure filter (32), the LH travel control valve (93)
to the LH 4-spool control valve (161).
Connections from pumps to cylinders are closed.
The oil flows in idle circuit (free flow) from (P) to (T)
and then through the tank line pre-charging valves
(64) and return flow filters (62) back into the tank
(60).

RH 200 Diesel - 3663424e.doc - (01) 09.03

Main pump P4:


In the neutral position of the control valves, but
after activation of the main pumps by PMS, oil
coming from the main pump P4 flows through a
high-pressure filter (32) to the LH 4-spool control
valve (161).
Connections from pumps to cylinders are closed.
The oil flows in idle circuit (free flow) from (P) to (T)
and then through the tank line pre-charging valves
(64) and return flow filters (62) back into the tank
(60).
The 4 circuits supply the following working functions:
a) Boom - raise and lower
b) Arm - extend and retract
c) Shovel - crowd in and tip back
d) Bottom dump bucket- open and close
e) Travel (see section Travelling)
The functions listed under a) - c) are supplied with
oil from both circuits when only one function is
being operated (automatic double flow).
All cylinders fitted in pairs are interconnected by
compensating lines.
4-spool control valves
The 4-spool control valves (161) are directional
valves, designed with multiple spools in one housing.
The individual spools are actuated hydraulically
and allow sensitive controlling of the speed and
direction of the oil flow passing through the block.
Description of the function see chapter 8.4
When a working function is idle, the respective
spool is held in its initial (neutral) position by the
return springs. The connecting channel from pump
to consumer is blocked. The 2/2 way valve is open
and allows the oil to pass from P to T (free flow or
idle circuit).
When the control spool is moved out of its initial
(neutral) position, the connecting channel from
pump to consumer opens via fine control grooves
and the 2/2 way section is throttled with help of fine
control grooves (negative overlap).
Circuit pressure is increasing.
When the same pressure is reached as acting on
the consumer connection, the check (non-return)
Page 8.5.4 - 1

8.5

HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS - WORKING FUNCTIONS (FS)

valve opens so that oil starts flowing to the consumer. When the control spool is moved further,
fine control grooves allow oil coming from the consumer to flow to the tank and gradually shift the oil
flow from the 2/2 way channel (fine-control facility).
The maximum spool stroke is 28 mm.
The spool stroke can be divided into approx. 1/3
control edge overlap and fine control range, the
remaining stroke length serving to open up the full
cross section. Overlapping, and a minimum of
spool play are positive factors for reduced internal
leakage.
The extensive fine control range available means
that consumers can be moved sensitively.

used to ensure that large quantities of oil can escape in an absolute minimum of time.
Anti-cavitation valves prevent vacuum (below atmospheric pressure) occurring in the working lines
to the cylinders, as this would be a negative influence on the controlling of the consumer flows. The
valves draw oil, as required, from the tank line.

Float valve Lowering


In order to save energy, Lower commands for the
boom are passed to the float valves (164/1) and
not to the 4-spool control valves (fig. 7).
Servo circuit oil flows to the boom float valves
(164/1). The valves shift over. Piston and rod sides
of the boom cylinders (182) are then connected to
one another (fig. 8 & fig. 9). The weight of the
working attachment forces the piston rods of the
cylinders to retract of their own, whereby the oil
being displaced from the piston side flows directly
into the vacant space on the rod side.
Because the chamber on the rod side of the cylinder is smaller than that on the piston side, the ex-

Float valve Lowering


In order to save energy, Lower commands for the
arm are passed to the float valves (164/2) and not
to the 4-spool control valves (fig. 16).
Servo circuit oil flows to the arm float valves
(164/2). The valves shift over. Piston and rod sides
of the arm cylinders (183) are then connected to
one another (fig. 17 & fig. 18). The weight of the
working attachment forces the piston rods of the
cylinders to retract of their own, whereby the oil
being displaced from the piston side flows directly
into the vacant space on the rod side.
Because the chamber on the rod side of the cylinder is smaller than that on the piston side, the ex-

Working functions (BH)

Remark:
The position numbers in the pictures of this
section are referring to the hydraulic circuit
diagram and the components listed in chapter
8.3 - Description of the hydraulic system.
Working functions are carried out with 4 main
pumps (3), all of which are feeding into open circuits - that means that oil flows from the consumers back into the tank (fig. 1 to fig. 4).
Main pump P1:
In the neutral position of the control valves, but
after activation of the main pumps by PMS, oil
coming from the main pump P1 flows through a
high-pressure filter (32) to the RH 4-spool control
valve (161).
Connections from pumps to cylinders are closed.
The oil flows in idle circuit (free flow) from (P) to (T)
and then through the tank line pre-charging valves
(64) and return flow filters (62) back into the tank
(60).

Main pump P2:


In the neutral position of the control valves, but
after activation of the main pumps by PMS, oil
coming from the main pump P2 flows through a
high-pressure filter (32) and the RH travel control
valve (92) to the RH 4-spool control valve (161).
Connections from pumps to cylinders are closed.
The oil flows in idle circuit (free flow) from (P) to (T)
and then through the tank line pre-charging valves
(64) and return flow filters (62) back into the tank
(60).

Main pump P4:


In the neutral position of the control valves, but
after activation of the main pumps by PMS, oil
coming from the main pump P4 flows through a
high-pressure filter (32) to the LH 4-spool control
valve (161).
Connections from pumps to cylinders are closed.
The oil flows in idle circuit (free flow) from (P) to (T)
and then through the tank line pre-charging valves
(64) and return flow filters (62) back into the tank
(60).

The 4 circuits supply the following working functions:


a) Boom - raise and lower
b) Stick - extend and retract
c) Bucket - crowd in and tip back
d) Travel (see section Travelling)
The functions listed under a) - c) are supplied with
oil from both circuits when only one function is
being operated (automatic double flow).
All cylinders fitted in pairs are interconnected by
compensating lines.

4-spool control valves


The 4-spool control valves (161) are directional
valves, designed with multiple spools in one housing.
The individual spools are actuated hydraulically
and allow sensitive controlling of the speed and
direction of the oil flow passing through the block.
Description of the function see chapter 8.4

Main pump P3:


In the neutral position of the valve blocks, but after
activation of the main pumps by PMS, oil coming
from the main pump P3 flows through a highpressure filter (32), the LH travel control valve (83)
to the LH 4-spool control valve (161).
Connections from pumps to cylinders are closed.
The oil flows in idle circuit (free flow) from (P) to (T)
and then through the tank line pre-charging valves
(64) and return flow filters (62) back into the tank
(60).

RH 200 Diesel - 3663430e.doc - (01) 09.03

When a working function is idle, the respective


spool is held in its initial (neutral) position by the
return springs. The connecting channel from pump
to consumer is blocked. The 2/2 way valve is open
and allows the oil to pass from P to T (free flow or
idle circuit).
When the control spool is moved out of its initial
(neutral) position, the connecting channel from
pump to consumer opens via fine control grooves
and the 2/2 way section is throttled with help of fine
control grooves (negative overlap).
Circuit pressure is increasing.
When the same pressure is reached as acting on
the consumer connection, the check (non-return)
valve opens so that oil starts flowing to the con-

Page 8.5.4 - 1

8.5 HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS - WORKING FUNCTIONS (BH)


sumer. When the control spool is moved further,
fine control grooves allow oil coming from the consumer to flow to the tank and gradually shift the oil
flow from the 2/2 way channel (fine-control facility).

Remark:
The following colour code refers only to hydraulic
lines and not to components!

Designation

The maximum spool stroke is 28 mm.


The spool stroke can be divided into approx. 1/3
control edge overlap and fine control range, the
remaining stroke length serving to open up the full
cross section. Overlapping, and a minimum of
spool play are positive factors for reduced internal
leakage.
The extensive fine control range available means
that consumers can be moved sensitively.

8.5 HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS - WORKING FUNCTIONS (BH)


Function:
Extending the stick cylinders
When the function is summoned, both control
spools for stick function (161) are shifted by servo
pressure out of their neutral positions against
springs (fig. 17). The connection from the main
pumps to the piston sides of the stick cylinders
(183) is opened via fine-control grooves (fig. 18 to
fig. 20).
At the same time, the connection (P) to (T) is throttled by fine-control grooves.
Via the CMS-card the signals from the joysticks
inform the PMS about the summoned working
function, consequently the main pumps are swung
out and oil is being delivered.
The circuit pressure rises.
As soon as it reaches the pressure which exists on
the piston sides of the cylinders oil flows to the
cylinders. With further movement of the control
spools, fine-control grooves allow oil coming from
the rod sides of the cylinders to flow to tank and
gradually shift the oil flow from the channel (P/T) to
the channel for the consumer (fine-control facility).

Pilot-controlled pressure relief valves (91) safeguard the stick cylinders against forces acting externally on the working circuit. Pilot-controlled
valves are used to ensure that large quantities of
oil can escape in an absolute minimum of time.
Anti-cavitation valves prevent vacuum (below atmospheric pressure) occurring in the working lines
to the cylinders, as this would be a negative influence on the controlling of the consumer flows. The
valves draw oil, as required, from the tank line.

HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS - TRAVEL SYSTEM

8.5.5

Travel system

Remark:
The position numbers in the pictures of this
section are referring to the hydraulic circuit
diagram and the components listed in chapter
8.3 - Description of the hydraulic system.
The free ends of the hydraulic pipes and hoses
are marked with capital letters for easier identification of the connecting points on the various
pictures.
When both engines or the LH engine only are running the oil of two main pumps (3) flows through
the high pressure filters (32) to the travel control
blocks (92 & 93) (fig.1 to fig. 3).
Main pump P1 is feeding the RH travel control
block (92).
Main pump P2 is feeding the LH travel control
block (93).
When the Travel function is not operated the oil
flows via (C) to the 4-spool control blocks (161)
and via (T) back to the tank.
As long as the function Travel is summoned with
the treadle valves, servo oil flows to the travel
valve blocks (92 & 93) (fig. 3).
The travel valve blocks (92 & 93) shift so that connection (C) is blocked (fig. 4). Oil flows to the travel
motors either through (B) - forward, or (A) backwards.
Travel motors (121) and travel control blocks are
connected via the rotor (91) and the secondary
relief valve block (125) (fig. 5 to fig. 7).
In the secondary relief valve block (125) pilotoperated pressure relief valves are installed for
each direction of travel. The valves are set to 380
bar. When this pressure is reached relief oil is fed
via the relief valve to the relevant low-pressure
side of the motors.
Oil returning from the travel motors flows through
the secondary relief valve (125), the rotor (91) to
the travel retarder valves (95 & 96) and the return
lines to the tank.
Leakage oil from the travel motors is returned to
the tank through (T).

In this case the main pumps P3 is feeding the RH


travel control block (92) and the main pump P4 is
feeding the LH travel control block (93) (fig. 8 to fig.
10).
Travel parking brake / 2-speed travel
The travel parking brake and the shifting of the 2stage travel motors are operated via the same
hydraulic line (fig. 11 to fig. 14). When a pressure
of 40 bar is applied the travel parking brake is released and the travel motors stay in 'low speed
mode'. If the speed switch is activated the pressure
is increased to 70 bar and the travel motors
change to 'high speed mode'.
Leakage oil from the control blocks flows back to
the tank.
Anti-cavitation valves flanged onto the travel control blocks prevent cavitation in the travel motors.
Travel boost
A solenoid valve (Y 31) on plate (26/2) is operating
the pressure cut-off valves of the main pumps P 2
and P 3 so that the travel pressure is increased to
360 bar (fig. 15 to fig. 17).
Travel retarder valves
The travel retarder valves (95 & 96) flanged onto
the travel valve blocks (92 & 93) prevent the excavator from running away when travelling downhill,
and ensure positive travel drive down the slope.
The travel retarder valves are installed in the circuits in such a way that oil flowing from the travel
motors must flow through them in order to get to
the tank.
The control piston determines the amount of oil
which can flow through the valve. When system
pressure drops (e.g. excavator travelling downhill),
pressure spring pushes the control piston back.
When the excavator is travelling, the control piston
of the retarder valve adopts a so-called float position which is determined by the resistance to excavator travel and the pump oil pressure resulting
from it.

When only the RH engine is running a solenoid


valve (46) is operating the logic valves on the distributor plate (29).

HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS - SWING SYSTEM

8.5.6

Swing system

Remark:
The position numbers in the pictures of this
section are referring to the hydraulic circuit
diagram and the components listed in chapter
8.3 - Description of the hydraulic system.
The swing circuit is a closed circuit. When braking,
the rotation energy, i.e. swing momentum, of the
moving superstructure is transferred back to the
swing pumps and is then assisting the engines.
Such a transmission is not possible in open circuit
swing systems. In open circuit systems, the rotation energy of the moving superstructure, when
being braked, can only be absorbed by throttling
the flow of oil which leads to an energy loss in form
of heat.
The swing pumps (4, fig 2) are variabledisplacement pumps with torque control system
(see description in separate chapter). The changeable internal mass of the superstructure can be
efficiently rotated or braked with a variable torque.
Special features of torque control:
When the superstructure is being accelerated (i.e.
brought into movement) or retarded (i.e. braked
from swing), the output of the swing pumps (4) is
always the same as the energy consumption of the
swing motors (102, fig. 3).
Altering the pressure of the control signal makes it
possible to achieve any required, alterable torque
of acceleration or retardation, even when the inertial mass of the superstructure is changing.
The torque control valve (105, fig. 1) limits the
maximum torque and thereby the maximum pressures available on the swing motors (102). This, in
turn, avoids any opening of the pressure relief
valves in the swing pumps.
In the neutral position, ports (Y1) and (Y2) on the
torque control valve (105) are free of pressure, i.e.
the balance is in the middle position, whereby ports
(X1 and X2) are connected to (P). The control
chambers in the swing pump regulators are subject
to balanced pressure (40 bar servo circuit pressure) so that the swing pumps (4) have zero flow.

Swinging to the right


When the left hand joystick is actuated to the right
servo oil flows to the pressure regulating valve
(105, port Y1).
The pressure from the joystick is defining the pressure level in the swing system.
The main piston (11.1, fig. 1) is displaced against
the spring (11.3).
Connections (X1 & P) and (X2 & T) are thereby
established. Line (X2) between pressure regulating
valve (105) and the regulators of the swing pumps
(4) is pressurised. The pressure in the circuit is no
longer balanced.
The swing pumps (4) tilt out (altered pump flow)
and feed into line (B). The pressure which builds
up in the line is led to the pressure regulating valve
(105) through line (X 5) and acts on the pilot piston
(11.2). The pilot piston has a ratio of 1:12 to the
main piston (11.1).
When a state of balance is reached between the
pilot force (X5) plus spring force (11.3), and pressure (Y1), a state of balance is also reached in the
chambers of the pump regulator (4).
The pumps stop tilting out.
The pumps only continue tilting out when the reaction pressure (X5) drops. In this way, the pumps
only supply so much oil as is being consumed by
the swing motors (102).
When the swing movement is to be interrupted, the
joystick is returned to its neutral 0-position. The
swing motors (102) are then driven by the swinging
superstructure so that they pump oil back to the
swing pumps. The previous pressure line (B) is
freed of pressure is led through (X6) to pilot piston
(11.5). The position of the pressure regulating
valve is thereby retained and the superstructure
can continue to swing until its rotation energy
(momentum) has dropped to zero.
Pressure relief valves in the swing pumps (4) limit
the max. pressure in the swing circuit to 400 bar.
At the same time, they serve as anti-cavitation
valves in the system (to compensate for leakage oil
losses). Oil feed to the system is carried out by the
charge pumps through connection (Fa) on the
swing pumps.

The pressure in the swing circuit is 50 bar, pressure being applied from the charge pumps.

RH 200 Diesel - 3663426e.doc - (01) 09.03

Page 8.5.6 - 1

8.5

HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS - SWING SYSTEM

The swing pumps (4) are fitted with thermal


switches, which pass a warning signal to the cab
when the oil temperature exceeds 92 C. The
warning in the cab is switched off again when the
temperature drops back below 87 C.
Leakage oil from the swing motors (102) is conducted back to the tank through the leak line (fig.
12).

Charge system (fig. 8 & 9)


Each swing pump has an internal charge pump,
which is replacing loss of oil in the closed swing
circuit because of internal leakage of swing pumps
and swing motors. The charge pressure of 50 bar
is set by an internal pressure relief valve at each
swing pump.
The charge system is equipped with chip indicators
and filters (34) to avoid contamination of the closed
swing circuit in case of a charge pump failure
Flushing valve (fig. 10 & 11)
The flushing valve (106) ejects a defined amount
of oil from the closed swing circuit at the lowpressure side during each swing operation. The
corresponding amount of filtered and cooled oil
from the hydraulic tank is fed back into the swing
system by the charging pumps.
Leak oil of swing motors (fig. 12)

Fig. 1

Pressure regulating valve

Swinging to the left


Swinging to the left follows in the same manner as
already described, but through the relevant connections for left.
Countering
The excavator operator can shorten the time taken
to brake the swinging superstructure by countering
- i.e. by summoning the opposite direction of
swing.

Separate leak oil lines transport the leak oil of the


swing motors (102) back to the hydraulic tank.
Swing parking brakes (fig. 13)
The swing parking brake (B) between swing motor
and gearbox is operated by a solenoid valve
(26/1). The parking brakes are opened by auxiliary
pressure (70 bar) when the solenoid valve is active.
When the solenoid valve is inactive the hydraulic
pressure is released to the tank and the parking
brakes are closed by internal springs.
This means that the brakes are automatically
closed when the machine is shut off or the solenoid valve fails.

The pressure regulating valve (105) receives a


reverse signal so that the regulator of the swing
pumps are commanded to tilt back.
The swing motors (102) start to work as pumps
and drive the swing pumps themselves, which in
turn feed their energy back into the drive system.
Sensitive braking is possible. Brake torque in
crease / decrease is possible using the control
lever. When the superstructure has come to a
standstill, the pumps have returned to their zero-tilt
angle. The servo valve must then be shifted back
to its neutral 0-position so as to prevent the superstructure swinging off again in the direction which
was necessary to counter.

8.5.9

Cooling system for engines

Remark:
The position numbers in the pictures of this
section are referring to the hydraulic circuit
diagram and the components listed in chapter
8.3 - Description of the hydraulic system.

The 2 cooling pumps (11) are axial piston pumps


with variable displacement.
On each drive unit one cooling pump is flanged
directly onto one of the swing pumps (fig. 1).
Each cooling pump is driving a gear motor (140).
The gear motors are driving the fans for the radiators of the engines.
The flow of the cooling pumps is regulated with
help of proportional valves which are directly
flanged onto the pump regulators. Depending on
the actual temperature in the engine cooling system the Pump Managing System (PMS) is regulating the speed of the fans. The temperature
range for the regulation is + 85 C to + 92 C.
At coolant temperatures below 85 C in the engine
cooling system the fan pumps are regulated to
minimum flow so that the fans are only turning very
slowly (200 rpm) the warm-up period of the engines is shortened.

At temperatures above 92 C the maximum flow is


passing through the fan motors and they are turning with 815 rpm.
With low engine temperature the PMS is supplying
maximum current (580 mA) to the proportional
valve of the cooling pump and the pump is at
minimum flow.
With increasing engine temperature the PMS is
reducing the current for the proportional valves to
150 mA and the cooling pumps are increasing the
flow to the fan motors.
This fail-save system ensures that in case of an
electric problem (e.g. a broken cable to the proportional valve) the fan pump stays at maximum flow
so that maximum cooling for the engine is
achieved.

8.6.1

Introduction

8.6.1.1

Foreword

This Technical Handbook (TBH) describes the


pressure checking and setting procedures on the
excavator s hydraulic system.
It is valid for RH 200
serial-no. 40 029 to 40 068
and from serial-no. 200 069
The illustrations, descriptions and explanations
reflect the current standard configuration. Some of
the illustrations can show details that differ from a
particular machine, but that does not affect the
validity of the information given.
If any points are nevertheless unclear or incorrect,
please contact your local TEREX dealer or your
TEREX distributing centre.
Further development and alternations that introduce into the standard series production will be
implemented into later re-prints of the TBH.
When setting the pressure relief valves the
hydraulic oil temperature has to be higher than
52C.

8.6.1.2

Safety

Observe accident prevention


and safety regulations at all
times.
The pressure checking and setting
may only be done by special
trained and authorized personnel
with the appropriate technical
know-how.
The nominal pressure relief valves
must not be modified without explicit approval form TEREX.
All personnel carrying out commissioning, operation, inspection,
service and repair must have read
and understood the operating instructions and in particular the
chapter
'Fundamental Safety Instructions.'
before starting any work.
Unauthorized conversions or modifications of the hydraulic excavator
are forbidden for reasons of safety.
Secure the machine and the working attachment against inadvertent
and unauthorized starting. Stand
working attachment on the ground
in such way as that no movements
can be made when mechanical or
hydraulic connections become detached.
Tools, hoists, slings, trestles and
other devices must be in a reliable
safe state.
Systems and units (e.g. pipes,
coolers,
hydraulic
reservoirs,
compressed-air reservoirs ) must
be properly depressurized before
being opened.
Protective devices on moving machine parts may be opened or removed only when the drive unit is
stationary and protected against
inadvertent starting .

RH 200 Diesel - 2471390e.doc - (02) 01.98

Page 8.6 - 1

8.6

PRESSURE CHECKING AND SETTING

Before recommissioning, all protective devices must be refitted.


Catwalks on the boom are only to
be walked on when the excavator's
working attachment has been
brought into the position required
for checking/settings pressures.
Hydraulic cylinders must be
brought into their end positions
before pressures are checked or
set to ensure that working attachment does not move when pressure is applied.
The excavator operator must operate the relevant function gently
(gradual application of pressure)
and the shift the joystick/pedals
fully to their end position.
All Pressure test points on the excavator have Minimess connections (M14 x 1,5). Pressure gauges
used for checking must therefore
have corresponding fittings.
Always connect the Minimess-hose
first to the gauge and then to the
test point on the machine to avoid
spillage of pressurized oil!

8.6.1.3

General

The reference numbers used in the text and illustrations correspond to those used in the hydraulic
circuit diagram.
Since the machine is equipped with the BCS-Board
Control System, most pressures are available on
the BCS display. If pressure must be reset, in any
case calibrated gauges have to be used, they have
to be connected to the relevant test points.

Numbering of main pumps


The 4 main pumps are numbered in travel direction
from left to right P1, P2, P3, and P4 (Fig.1 ),
thus P1 and P2 are driven by the engine, and P3
and P4 are driven by the right engine.

Numbering of swing pumps


Each drive unit is equipped with a swing pumps
(double pumps). The swing pumps on the left
pump gear are named SP1 and SP2, the pumps
on the right pump gear are SP3 and SP4 (Fig. 1).

The springs in pressure relief


valves must never be tightened
fully to "block". The windings of
the spring are then jammed so that
the valve cannot open.
Before setting/resetting a relief
valve (primary or secondary)
loosen the valve insert by approx.
2 turns:
Turning anti-clockwise (loosening)
=lower pressure setting
Turning clockwise (tightening)

Fig. 1

=increase pressure setting


To set/reset a pressure relief valve
loosen the counter nut on the valve
insert, set the opening pressure
using the setting crew, and then
tighten the counter nut again.
When checking/setting pressures
the hydraulic oil temperature must
be above 50C.

Fig. 1

Pressure relief valve (17):


Limits the Servo pressure for the functions Working equipment, Swing and Travel to 35 bar.
Differential pressure valve (16):
Increases servo pressure by 25 bar to 60 bar. The
higher pressure is needed for the regulation of the
working pumps, the increase of travel pressure and
the switch-over of travel motors.

Connect a 100 bar pressure gauge to point


(16.1, Fig. 1) for differential valve (16) and a 60
bar gauge to point (17.1) for pressure relief
valve (17).

Run both engines up to top speed.

Check pressures.
Pressure relief valve (17): pressure should be
35 bar.

If a correction is necessary, re-set valve (17).

Differential valve (16): pressure should be 60


bar.

If 60 bar is not reached (with relief valve (17)


correctly set), re-set valve (16). Unscrew nut
(16.2, Fig. 1) and re-set valve using the setting
screw.

PRESSURE CHECKING AND SETTING


Load limit system

The governing current output by the GLR 200 load


limit governor (black box) is converted by the
proportional valves (21, Figs. 1 & 2) into hydraulic
signals that are sent to the main pumps (P1 - P4).

Checking

Connect two 100 bar pressure gauges to


points (21.1 & 21.2, Fig. 2).

Run both engines up to top speed.

Check pressure
It should be: approx. 8 bar (230 mA)

Apply pressure to piston side of stick cylinders.

Check pressure
It should be: approx. 43 bar (850 mA)

If the required pressures are not reached, the


proportional valves are to be checked.
A metering adapter (Fig. 3) is needed to
measure the current arriving at the valves from
the GLR-box.

Arrangement (Fig. 2):


21.1 (Y 18) = main pumps P1 + P2
21.2 (Y 17) = main pumps P3 + P4

Connect metering adapter.

Re-run the checks described above. Measure


the currents at contacts (A, Fig. 3) each time.

If the electrical currents stated are not


reached, there is a fault somewhere in the load
limit circuit.

If the electrical currents are reached, but not


the hydraulic pressures, a fault is present in
the proportional valve and it needs to be
changed.

Test points on float valves

- Switch off stick float; shift joystick gently


into end position.
- Check pressure: it should be 350 bar.
- Because the piston sides of the stick
cylinders are protected by a pair of
valves (11 & 15, Fig. 1), the pressure
gauge on port (15.1) always registers the
pressure of the valve with the lower setting. Even when the gauge shows 350
bar, it is still possible for one of the
valves to have a higher setting.
- For this reason, lower the pressure on
the 1st valve to below 350 bar. The pres-

Check that oil temperature is above 52 C and


that the thermostats are fully closed.

Check pressure. Circuiting pressure should be


approx. 35 bar.

Pressure relief
If the pressure-limiting valves (70)
are open there will be no servopressure and thus no possibility of
activating hydraulic functions.

Page 8.6 - 16

Pressure relief valves (43) are works set to approx.


65 bar. To check, proceed as follows:

Set valves to circuiting pressure. To do this,


reduce valve cracking pressure until the circuiting pressure starts to drop.

Then tighten valve inserts of a turn (cracking


pressure is increased again).

Introduction

8.8.1.1

Foreword

This section describes the procedures necessary


when repairing hydraulic cylinders. The illustrations
and descriptions correspond to the current series
status. It is possible for some illustrations to show
details that differ from a particular machine or
component. This, however, is of no consequence
to the overall function.
In case of doubt, consult the TEREX Mining
Service.
Any alterations and up-grading introduced into the
series will be considered in future re-prints of the
Technical handbook (THB).
The required special tools can be found in
Chapter 3.2.8 cylinder tools

8.8.1.2

Safety
Observe the accident prevention
regulations at all times.
Any person involved in commissioning, operating, inspecting or
servicing the TEREX excavator
must have read through the Operating Instructions - especially the
chapter SAFETY - before starting
any work.
Personnel working on the machine
and its components must have
adequate knowledge of the procedures involved.
Tools, lifting equipment, rigging
tackle, trestles, working platforms
and other working aids must be in
a safe and reliable condition.
Depressurize any systems that are
to be opened for servicing or inspection work.
Before commencing an servicing
or inspection work, secure the machine and its equipment against
unintentional starting, e.g. place
chocks under the tracks and lower
the working equipment to the
ground.
Park the excavator on a level surface and block it to prevent it from
moving. Lock the superstructure,
lower the working equipment to the
ground, stop the engine(s) and secure it against unintentional starting.

RH 200 (FS) - 2471393e - (01) 01.98

Page 8.8 - 1

8.8

HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS - FS

Do not loosen any fittings, pipes or


hoses until hydraulic pressure has
been released from the system.
Take care when hydraulic oil is hot.
Fully retract the piston rods of the
cylinder to be removed, and fasten
the piston rod to the cylinder so
that it cannot extent. The hydraulic
connections can then be loosened.
Use suitable containers to catch
spilling oil.
Use suitable lifting tackle to remove and install piston rods and
guide bushings.

Close up any open pipes, hoses


and housing ports to prevent dirt
from getting into the system.
When working on hydraulic cylinders (especially when removing
and fitting piston rods), keep the
cylinder in a vertical position.
Place long cylinders into inspection pits so that the piston rod eye
and guide bushing are accessible
from ground level.

8.8.1.3

General

All cylinder components are carefully matched to


one another. Long-term trouble-free operation can
only be ensured when genuine TEREX spare
parts are used.
The wear and spare parts necessary for the
cylinders are listed in the excavator's spare
parts list.
This section does not describe procedures necessary for overhauling damaged cylinders. Only specialist workshops can judge whether a damaged
component can be overhauled and which procedures are necessary. Work to be performed in your
own workshops should therefore be limited to the
installation of new TEREX wear and spare parts.
All procedures must be carried out carefully in a
clean workshop. Negligence can lead to major
damage to the whole hydraulic system.
After servicing, the hydraulic cylinders must be
bled of air prior to being used again. Air pockets
remaining in a cylinder can ignite (diesel effect)
and cause serious internal damage to the cylinder.
If any contamination of metal particles are found in
the cylinder, on the magnetic rods or in the filters,
the whole system must be flushed clean.
The procedure is described in chapter 8.2.

Cleanliness is of prime importance.


Use only fibre-free cloths and rags
(do NOT use cotton waste).
Always
tools.

recommended

When removing seals and wearing


parts, always use suitable tools,
e.g. snub-nosed screwdrivers, to
prevent damaging the sealing surfaces.

sure that back ring is on the correct side.
2. Fit the split guide sleeve (22).
3. Coat guide with assembly paste P/No. 271 554
in area (4, Fig. 19).
4. Install V-rings (20 + 21, Fig. 19).
Each V-ring (20 + 21) comprises V-ring (A) and
back ring (B).
Depending on the cylinder design the grove for
the scrapers (14) and (15) can be part of the
cylinder rod guide (Fig. 20).

Fig. 21

Installation of V-ring

If the scraper (20) is separately installed it is

Introduction

8.8.1.1

Foreword

This section describes the procedures necessary


when repairing hydraulic cylinders. The illustrations
and descriptions correspond to the current series
status. It is possible for some illustrations to show
details that differ from a particular machine or
component. This, however, is of no consequence
to the overall function.
In case of doubt, consult the TEREX Mining
Service.
Any alterations and up-grading introduced into the
series will be considered in future re-prints of the
Technical handbook (THB).
The required special tools can be found in
Chapter 3.2.8 cylinder tools

8.8.1.2

Safety
Observe the accident prevention
regulations at all times.
Any person involved in commissioning, operating, inspecting or
servicing the TEREX excavator
must have read through the Operating Instructions - especially the
chapter SAFETY - before starting
any work.
Personnel working on the machine
and its components must have
adequate knowledge of the procedures involved.
Tools, lifting equipment, rigging
tackle, trestles, working platforms
and other working aids must be in
a safe and reliable condition.
Depressurize any systems that are
to be opened for servicing or inspection work.
Before commencing an servicing
or inspection work, secure the machine and its equipment against
unintentional starting, e.g. place
chocks under the tracks and lower
the working equipment to the
ground.
Park the excavator on a level surface and block it to prevent it from
moving. Lock the superstructure,
lower the working equipment to the
ground, stop the engine(s) and secure it against unintentional starting.

RH 200 (BH) - 2471388e - (01) 01.98

Page 8.8 - 1

8.8

HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS - BH

Do not loosen any fittings, pipes or


hoses until hydraulic pressure has
been released from the system.
Take care when hydraulic oil is hot.
Fully retract the piston rods of the
cylinder to be removed, and fasten
the piston rod to the cylinder so
that it cannot extent. The hydraulic
connections can then be loosened.
Use suitable containers to catch
spilling oil.
Use suitable lifting tackle to remove and install piston rods and
guide bushings.

Close up any open pipes, hoses


and housing ports to prevent dirt
from getting into the system.
When working on hydraulic cylinders (especially when removing
and fitting piston rods), keep the
cylinder in a vertical position.
Place long cylinders into inspection pits so that the piston rod eye
and guide bushing are accessible
from ground level.

8.8.1.3

General

All cylinder components are carefully matched to


one another. Long-term trouble-free operation can
only be ensured when genuine TEREX spare
parts are used.
The wear and spare parts necessary for the
cylinders are listed in the excavator's spare
parts list.
This section does not describe procedures necessary for overhauling damaged cylinders. Only specialist workshops can judge whether a damaged
component can be overhauled and which procedures are necessary. Work to be performed in your
own workshops should therefore be limited to the
installation of new TEREX wear and spare parts.
All procedures must be carried out carefully in a
clean workshop. Negligence can lead to major
damage to the whole hydraulic system.
After servicing, the hydraulic cylinders must be
bled of air prior to being used again. Air pockets
remaining in a cylinder can ignite (diesel effect)
and cause serious internal damage to the cylinder.
If any contamination of metal particles are found in
the cylinder, on the magnetic rods or in the filters,
the whole system must be flushed clean.
The procedure is described in chapter 8.2.

Cleanliness is of prime importance.


Use only fibre-free cloths and rags
(do NOT use cotton waste).
Always
tools.

use

the

recommended

When removing seals and wearing


parts, always use suitable tools,
e.g. snub-nosed screwdrivers, to
prevent damaging the sealing surfaces.

1. Drain hydraulic oil from the cylinder. Catch escaping oil in a suitable container.
2. Remove bearing eye.

Use suitable tools to prevent damaging the


sealing surfaces in any way.
6. Check guide (4) for damage. If damage is visible, guide must be replaced. Seals and wearing
parts will otherwise be destroyed in a very short
time.

3. Loosen bolts (16).


ALWAYS change ALL wearing parts!
4. Remove the guide (4) from the cylinder barrel
using 3 jacking bolts.
Depending on the type of cylinder the following
completely threaded jacking bolts are to be
used:
Boom cylinder:
M 12 x 230, 10.9, DIN 933, Part-no. 2 781 856
Stick cylinder:
M 12 x 230, 10.9, DIN 933, Part-no. 2 781 856
Bucket cylinder:

Assembly
1. Fit seal (29, Fig. 21) and back ring (30). Make
sure that back ring is on the correct side.
2. Fit the split guide sleeve (22).
3. Coat guide with assembly paste P/No. 271 554
in area (4, Fig. 21).
4. Install V-rings (20 + 21, Fig. 21).
Each V-ring (20 + 21) comprises V-ring (A) and
back ring (B).
Depending on the cylinder design the grove for
the scrapers (14) and (15) can be part of the
cylinder rod guide (Fig. 22).

Fig. 23

Installation of V-ring

If the scraper (20) is separately installed it is


bolted with ring (8), disk (9) and bolts (14) onto
the rod guide (Fig. 24).
The mounting bolts are hand-tightened only.

Fig. 22

Scraper

In this case fold V-ring (A) into a kidney shape


and place into groove (Fig. 23).
Then fit the split back ring (B, Fig. 23).
5. Fit scrapers (14 + 15, Fig. 22).
6. Before fitting the guide, coat scrapers, seal and
guide rings with hydraulic oil.

Fig. 24

7. Place guard sleeve (C, Fig. 25) over thread of


piston rod.
The sleeve protects the seal and guide rings in
the rod guide against being damaged on the
rod threads.
If a guard sleeve is not available, wrap adhesive tape around the rod threads.

4. Remove plastic guide rings (24, Fig. 28), OK


piston seal (23) and guard rings (25).
The cast iron ring (26, Fig. 28) often shows
minor signs of use but without any measurable
wear (less than 0.1 mm). In such a case, the
ring can be used again. Cast iron rings are difficult to remove and the risk of piston damage is
high. The rings should therefore only be removed with special pliers (Fig. 29).

Installation of piston seal

Thoroughly check piston, piston rod, dampener


and cylinder barrel for signs of damage and wear.
Also check the barrel for bulging. Replace all damaged parts.
ALWAYS change plastic guide rings, guard rings
and OK piston seals.
Assembly
The piston is sealed with an OK piston seal (23,
Fig. 28), comprising:
Plastic stepped seal ring (A)
Square tensioning ring (B).
1. Fit the tensioning ring (B) in the relevant
groove:
Fit approx. 1/5 of the tensioning ring into the
groove.
Push a smooth rod through the ring (Fig. 30)
and lever it into its seating with a circling action
(arrow, Fig. 30) around the piston.

2. Fit guide rings (20 + 22, Fig. 32 + 33).


Use special pliers (P/No. 1 709 183) to fit cast
iron guide rings (22, Fig. 32).
Do not open the guide rings too far as they
could break.
The gaps in the guide rings must be offset at
180 to one another.

Do not remove the bar until the tensioning ring


is seated absolutely straight in its groove (Fig.
31).
