TRAVEL SYSTEMS
Trang 6TRAVEL SYSTEMS COMPONENTS
The idler pump and drive pump supplies oil flow to the travel control valve circuit, whichcontrols pump flow to the two travel motors
When the travel control valves are in NEUTRAL, pump supply oil from the pumps flowsthrough the center bypass passage in the travel valves through all other control valves (notshown) to the NFC valves (also not shown) The return oil from the pumps through the bypasspassages (neutral envelopes of the valve) creates NFC signals used to destroke the pumps.Pilot oil is available at the travel speed solenoid valve
Since the implement hydraulic lockout solenoid has been energized, the hydraulic activationvalve has shifted Pilot oil is directed to the travel pilot valves

Trang 7Some of the major components of the Travel Systems include:
Two Speed Travel Solenoid Valve: This solenoid valve is controlled by the Machine ECM.
The valve controls the position of the displacement change valve in each motor to select slow
or fast travel speed
Travel Pilot Valves: The valves direct pilot oil to shift the travel valves in the main control
valve group The pilot valves are shifted by either pedals or levers
Straight travel control valve and solenoid: When both travel control valves are shifted or
one travel valve and an implement/swing circuit are activated, the solenoid is energized toprovide flow priority to the travel motors
Slow Return Check Valve: The back pressure created by the slow return check valve ensures
that makeup oil is present at the travel motor and the various makeup valves in the hydraulicsystem
Trang 8Left travel valve (1) and right travel valve (2) are used to control the travel motors The
straight travel valve (3) provides flow priority for the Travel Systems during a travel condition
The slow return check valve is part of the slow return check valve and cooler bypass
Trang 9Each track is driven by a travel motor (1) A counterbalance valve (2) prevents overspeed whilethe machine is traveling downhill, prevents shocks to the system when travel is stopped, andhelps to prevent motor cavitation.
Crossover relief valves (3 & 4) are used to protect the travel motor from pressure spikes The upper supply line (5) directs supply oil to the motor for reverse travel, while the lowersupply line (6) directs supply oil to the motor for forward travel
The final drive is composed of a three-stage planetary gear reduction to reduce the motor speed
to drive the track Fill (8) and drain (9) plugs are in the outer cover

Trang 10The two speed travel solenoid valve (1) is part of the pilot manifold The manifold is locateddirectly below the main control valve
The hydraulic activation solenoid (2) must energize to shift the hydraulic activation valve (3)
If the hydraulic activation valve is not shifted there is no pilot oil to the the travel pilot valves

Trang 11When the two-speed travel soft switch (1) is located on the soft switch panel (2)
When the two-speed travel switch is pushed , the travel speed is toggled between the Slow andFast Speed Modes
- The rabbit indicator is for fast or high speed
- The tortoise indicator is for slow or low speed
The Fast Speed Mode is also called the Automatic Mode The Machine ECM senses the drivepressure and will automatically change the travel speed from the Fast Speed Mode to the SlowSpeed Mode, when the drive pressure exceeds a predetermined limit
For instance, by putting the machine automatically into the Slow Speed Mode, more torque isavailable for climbing slopes
Once the drive pressure drops again below the predetermined limit, the Machine ECM willautomatically return the machine to the Fast Speed Mode

Trang 12The travel pilot control valve operates similar as the implement pilot valves (joysticks)
Depending on how far the travel pedal or lever is moved will determine the amount of pilot oildirected to the respective travel control valve
A dampening function is built into the travel pilot control valve which allows the operationalspeed of the travel lever/pedal to respond only to intended movements of the operators foot.The dampening function also prevents the vibration that occurs when the travel lever/pedal isreleased
When the travel lever/pedal is moved from the NEUTRAL position, the rod is pushed
downward The rod moves the dampening piston downward The hydraulic oil below thedampening piston is pressurized
An orifice check valve allows the trapped hydraulic oil below the dampening piston to
gradually flow into the metering spring chamber, which is open to the tank The gradual flow
of oil through the orifice check valve provides the dampening function

Trang 13Due to the travel valves being the first control valves to receive supply oil, the valves receivesupply oil directly off of the center bypass passage through the feeder passage and into thebridge passage The travel valve blocks the oil in the bridge passage.
Since the travel valve is not shifted, supply oil through the center bypass passage flows tothrough main valve group Some of this supply oil is used to destroke one of the hydraulicpumps
NOTE: The illustration above is for the left travel control valve only The right travel
control valve should operate similarly, but the drawings shown in the Parts Manual and other publications makes the valve appear to function differently.

Travel Motor
Some of the major components of the travel motor include:
Crossover Relief Valves: These valves dampen pressure spikes in the Travel Systems
whenever the travel is stopped The valves also prevent or reduce travel motor cavitation
Brake Pilot Valve: This valve controls the parking brake Some of the supply oil is directed
to the brake pilot valve to release the park brake for machine travel The valve also providesfor a gradual engagement of the parking brake when travel is returned to NEUTRAL
Counterbalance Valve: This valve prevents overspeed while the machine is traveling downhill,
prevents shocks to the system when travel is stopped, and helps to prevent motor cavitation
In NEUTRAL the counterbalance valve blocks the oil in the passages to the motor to preventthe motor from rotating

travel solenoid valves The displacement change valve controls the supply oil to shift one ofthe motor actuators
Motor Actuator Pistons: Two actuators are used to control the angle of the motor swashplate.
If the maximum actuator is shifted, the machine is in the Slow Speed Mode for travel If theminimum actuator is shifted, then the machine is in the Fast Speed Mode for travel

Trang 20The Machine ECM receives feedback from the output pressure sensor If the drive pressure istoo high, the Machine ECM will de-energize the two speed travel valve to put the machine intothe Slow Speed Mode.
With the two speed travel valve de-energized, the displacement change valve moves back to theright and directs supply oil to the maximum angle actuator and drains the oil to the minimumangle actuator to upstroke the motor for slower speed and higher torque
As the drive pressure decreases the Machine ECM will automatically return the machine to theFast Speed Mode

Trang 21When the displacement change valve shifts due to the two speed travel solenoid being
energized, the displacement change valve sends some of the supply oil to the minimum angleactuator piston to decrease the swashplate angle
With a decreased swashplate angle, the motor pistons displace less flow as the piston and barrelassembly rotate The motor now turns faster resulting in higher machine speed, with less torquethan at low speed

Trang 23When both travel levers or pedals are shifted and at least one of the implements or the swing isselected, both travel pressure switches (AEC) and the implement pressure switch close TheMachine ECM then will energize the straight travel solenoid valve
When the straight travel valve shifts all of the drive pump flow is directed equally to the travelcontrol valves
The idler pump flow is directed into the parallel feeder passages and to the activated implementcircuit In the illustration above the bucket has been shifted to close
At the travel motors, the counterbalance valves shift and direct drive pump supply oil to themotors At the same time some of the supply oil is used to release the parking brake
Because the travel speed solenoid valve has been energized, the travel motor displacement ischanged to upstroke the motors to provide slow speed Return oil from the motors flows backpast the counterbalance valves and the travel valves to the tank
NOTE: The straight travel solenoid valve is only energized when both travel pressure
switches are closed and the implement pressure switch is closed at the same time.

Trang 24Travel Parking Brake
The travel parking brake is located in the travel motor The travel parking brake consists of thefollowing components: the brake spring, the brake piston, the separator plates, and the frictionplates The friction plates are splined to the cylinder barrel The separator plates are splined tothe motor housing
When the travel pedals or levers are moved from the NEUTRAL position, supply oil from thepump flows to the inlet port of the travel motor from the travel control valve in the main controlvalve group
A portion of the supply oil enters the motor and unseats the brake pilot check valve The oilthen flows to the brake piston As pressure builds in the brake piston, the piston moves to theleft against the brake spring
The separator plates and friction plates are no longer pressed together and the motor is able torotate

Trang 27During normal travel, supply oil from the travel control valve enters the travel brake valve andflows to the counterbalance valve
Some of the supply oil flows through the orifice check valve to the right end to shift the
counterbalance valve to the left As the counterbalance initially shifts to the left, some of thesupply oil is used to release the parking brake
As the counterbalance continues to move to the left, a return passage from the motor is opened
The supply pressure unseats one of the check valves and flows past the check valve to themotor Return oil from the motor flows around the counterbalance valve, to the travel controlvalve, and back to the tank The check valve (section A-A) on the return side remains seated
At the beginning of travel, one of the crossover relief valves will open to dampen the shock ofstarting to travel
NOTE: The travel brake valve shown is from the 320D and the "C" Series For the
325D-336D, the valve is functionally the same The two check valves shown are inside the counterbalance valve along with the orifice check valve.
