What is the role of the swing motor in the excavator?

Publish Time: 2022-09-15     Origin: Site

The swing motor is a key part of the swing mechanism. It can convert the oil pressure provided by the main pump into mechanical energy and input it to the reduction box. The quality of its working performance will directly affect the rotation speed, driving torque, rotation parking and parking brake of the whole machine, which is the key to determining the productivity of the whole machine. High-speed swing motors are divided into two categories: swash plate type and inclined axis type quantitative piston motors.

What is the difference between a walking motor, a swing motor and a normal motor?

In fact, there is not much difference in appearance and type.

The main difference is the difference in performance. Basically, the walking motor and the swing motor require low speed and high torque. The required speed is not very high, but the output torque is relatively large to overcome the load. However, ordinary motors are not necessarily in this regard. The matching relationship between speed and torque will be comprehensively considered to ensure that the motor can meet the working requirements.


What is the role of the swing motor in the excavator?

The swing motor in the full hydraulic excavator is the key part of the swing mechanism. It can convert the oil pressure provided by the main pump into mechanical energy and input it to the reduction box. The quality of its working performance will directly affect the rotation speed, driving torque, rotation parking and parking brake of the whole machine, which is the key to determining the productivity of the whole machine. swing motors are divided into two categories: low-speed high-torque motors and high-speed swing motors.

Low-speed and high-torque motors are rarely used in modern excavator slewing mechanisms due to their large size and heavy weight, while high-speed slewing motors are small in size and light in weight, which is convenient for the reasonable layout of slewing mechanisms and can also meet different slewing speeds. and torque requirements, it is widely used.


What if the swing motor can't turn?

At present, excavators and turntables are equipped with parking brake devices. If the brake solenoid valve is faulty or its control circuit is faulty, the motor brake device cannot be turned on.

If the turntable swings the shift brake solenoid valve is broken. What are the emergency measures?

The main function of the solenoid valve is to move the 2-position 3-way valve left and right to cut off or connect the control oil circuit. We can directly connect the hose A to the connector of the hose B, and the motor can rotate without going through the solenoid valve temporarily.

    What is a gear pump?

    ​The gear pump consists of two gears, the pump body and the front and rear covers to form two enclosed spaces. As the gears rotate, the volume of space on the side of the gear displacement increases from small to large, creating a vacuum to suck in the liquid, and the volume of space on the side of the gear engagement increases the larger it becomes smaller, and the liquid is pushed into the pipeline. The intake cavity and the ejection cavity are separated by the engagement line of the two gears. The pressure at the output of the gear pump depends solely on the resistance at the pump output.

    What do you know about the use of gear pumps?

    ​The gear pump is simple and compact in construction, small, light, good in manufacturability, cheap in price, strong in self-priming, insensitive to oil pollution, large in speed range, able to withstand shock loads, convenient in maintenance and reliable in operation. The gear pump is a rotary pump that depends on the change and movement of the work volume formed between the pump cylinder and the combing gear to transport liquid or put pressure on it.

    How to select a control valve?

    ​The control valve consists of two main assemblies: valve body assembly and actuator assembly (or actuator system), which are divided into four series: single seat series regulating valve, double seat series regulating valve, sleeve cylinder series regulating valve and automatic series regulating valve.

    How can we use the regulator correctly?

    The regulator compares the measured value of the parameters of the production process with the given value, and after the deviation is obtained, an output signal is generated according to a certain adjustment rule to push the actuator to eliminate the deviation, so that the parameter is kept near the given value or changes according to a predetermined rule. controller.
