1. System Overview

Hydrostatic Transmission

• Motor output torque and speed depends on pump and motor displacement

• Speed of hydrostatic transmission is reciprocal to displacements

• Torque is proportional to displacements

MENU

2. Functionality of Components

Integrated Charge Pump

• Charge pump is a fixed displacement pump (gerotor-type) which is directly connected to the pump input shaft

• Charge pump displacement should be sized to approximately 10% of whole system displacement (pump and motor(s) displacements) in most applications

2. Functionality of Components

Charge Pump - Functions

Charge Pump flow rate functions:• Replenish leakage oil of pump and motor• Replenish loop flushing oil through the flushing valve• Provide flow for the servo control systems• Provide flow for auxiliary circuit functions e.g. parking brake

release

Charge Pump pressure functions: • Maintain low loop pressure• Provide sufficient pressure to activate the servo control

systems

2. Functionality of Components

Charge Pressure Relief Valve

11

MENU

2. Functionality of Components

Charge Pressure Relief Valve

• Charge pressure relief valve is necessary to maintain low loop pressure

• Protects the charge pump by limiting the charge pressure

• Excess charge pump output flow is directed into the pump case

12

MENU

2. Functionality of Components

Charge Check Valve

13

MENU

2. Functionality of Components

Charge Check Valve

• It protects the charge pressure system (charge pump), otherwise a backflow from high pressure side will damaged the charge pump

14

MENU

2. Functionality of Components

Loop Flushing System

15

MENU

2. Functionality of Components

Loop Flushing System

• Loop Flushing is necessary because of cooling requirements and contamination removal of system circuit

• The LF-system removes fluid from the low pressure side of the closed circuit system

• Loop Flushing valves are available with different flow rates to optimize flush flow requirements in all system operating conditions

16

MENU

2. Functionality of Components

High Pressure Relief Valve (HPRV)

17

MENU

2. Functionality of Components

High Pressure Relief Valve (HPRV)

• High pressure relief valves are needed in hydrostatic transmission systems to limit maximum pressures– Pressures above the product ratings will damage the

transmission– HPRV protect pumps, motors, hoses and other system

components

18

MENU

2. Functionality of Components

Pressure Limiter

• Pressure Limiter is a non dissipative high pressure control

• Limits the heat generated in the system when pressures are too high

• PL changes the displacement of the pump in response to high system pressure

19

MENU

2. Functionality of Components

Bypass

• Bypass function allows an internal connection to be made between the two loops in the hydrostatic transmission

• Function allows the vehicle to be moved without the engine running– Allows for disabled vehicles to be loaded onto a trailer or moved

off the road– Intended to be for slow, short durations otherwise the

hydrostatic transmission can be damaged

Recommended Hydraulic Fluids

• Find recommended Hydraulic Fluids for Sauer-Danfoss hydrostatic components in Technical Literature*

• Fluids meeting the technical literature requirements will very likely provide acceptable unit life

• field testing is the only truly indication of fluid performance

• Sauer-Danfoss warranty claim policies do not apply for fluid related damage

Viskosity and Temerature Limits

• Viscosity and temperature limits in the table “Viscosity and temperature limits” in technical information* are to be observed

• Under normal operating condition it is recommended to keep the temperature in the range of 30 °C to 60 °C

• Rule of thumb: fluid temperature increase from 80 °C [176 °F] to 90 °C [194 °F] may reduce fluid life by 50 %

Many Thanks for YOUR Attention!

When Chuck Norris says “420 bar" he is not quoting the pressure rating of the H1B motor, he is telling you how much pressure his foot will apply to your face.
