Cleaning Procedure
Before a part is inspected, wash the part in a clean solvent made from petroleum. Wash each part separately. If several parts are washed together,
there is a possibility that the machined surface can be damaged. Use compressed air to dry the part. Put hydraulic oil on the part to prevent rust or
corrosion. Put the part in a clean container. Use a lint-free towel to clean the part before assembly. Be sure to put oil on parts during assembly.
Inspection Procedure
14/9/22, 17:48 SIS 2.0
Piston pump and motor parts have wear patterns that can be seen but not felt by a fingernail or pencil lead after salvage procedure. This type of
wear has no effect on the performance of the part. Unless stated in this guideline, parts cannot be used again that have wear patterns felt with a
fingernail or pencil lead after the salvage procedure. Throughout this guideline, the fingernail or pencil lead inspection will be used to determine if a
part can be used again.
Touch Lapping Procedure

The touch lapping procedure is used on some parts to salvage that part. The touch lapping procedure will not give a part a “like new” surface or
surface flatness. The procedure is used only to remove discoloration and small surface marks.
Use 4/0 emery polishing paper. Refer to Tool Catalog, PERJ1017, "Dealer Service Tools Catalog". Put the emery paper on a ground surface plate (
7B-0337 Plate) so the paper is smooth. Do not use any other surfaces.
Wash the part in a clean solvent. Let the part dry at room temperature. Put hydraulic oil on the part and then put the part in a clean container.
1. Wet the emery paper with a clean solvent made of a petroleum base.
2. Place the part on the emery paper with the surface to be "touch lapped" on the paper.
Touch lapping procedure used on a piston slipper face.

3. Move the part in a pattern tracing out a number "8". More than ten complete number "8" patterns is not necessary. Refer to Illustration 3.
4. Wash the part in a clean solvent. Let the part dry at room temperature.
5. Put hydraulic oil on the part, and then put the part into a clean container.
NOTICE
When you handle or put pump and motor parts in storage, care
must be taken to prevent damage to the machined surfaces.
Hand Lapping Procedure For Concave Barrels

Some barrel assemblies with bronze, concave seal faces can have discoloration or light scratches. These assemblies can be salvaged by hand
lapping. Hand lapping does not give parts "like new" surfaces, but does create "near new" surfaces that allow the part to be used again.
14/9/22, 17:48 SIS 2.0
Apply compound at several points on sealing surface.

Use Grade A silicon carbide lapping compound that is suspended in a paste type lubricant. Clover Compound, Thixogenous-Greasemix, or an
equivalent is recommended. Apply the compound to several locations on the surface that is to be lapped. Refer to Illustration 4.
Place the port plate on top of the barrel assembly in an operating position. Apply firm pressure downward on the port plate while sliding plate back
and forth in a circular motion. At the same time, rotate the barrel assembly. Refer to Illustration 5. After a brief time, the lapping compound will lose
lubricity (lubrication capability) and become dry. At this time, apply more compound.
When the discoloration and light scratches are removed, thoroughly clean the components to remove lapping compound before using again. A
clear solvent is recommended.

Barrel and port plate after hand lapping.

Power Lapping Procedure

Power lapping can remove wear patterns and surface scratches, providing a "near new" surface flatness on parts. The power lapping machine can
be used on a wide range of parts that require flat, smooth surfaces. Power lapping can produce lap flat surfaces within tolerances of one light band
( 2.95 µm (116 microinch)). Consistent surface finishes of 2 to 3 RMS with absolute uniformity are easily attained.
Lapping machines are easy to operate. However, some general guidelines must be followed.
1. Check the lapping plates periodically, preferably every morning before starting production, to ensure lap plate flatness.
2. Fill the slurry tank with a lapping vehicle. The vehicle is purchased premixed, and a lapping compound should be added to the vehicle at a
rate of 8 oz. per gallon.
3. Run the machine without parts for 4 to 6 minutes allowing the compound to mix evenly in the vehicle.
4. Load the parts to be lapped inside the conditioning rings. The parts should be free to move about within the ring and not packed remaining
stationary.
5. Lapping times will vary according to the severity of the flaw that is to be removed. Minor scratches or warpage can usually be removed within
30 to 60 minutes.
6. Before inspecting the flatness of the lapped part:
a. Remove the dull finish caused by the lapping compound.
b. Wash the part thoroughly.
c. Polish the lapped surface, using 600 grit emery paper on a 4/0 polishing stand, until surface reflects light.
Testing For Flatness
14/9/22, 17:48 SIS 2.0
Optical flat.

A monochromatic light source and an optical flat are required to determine flatness. Refer to Illustration 7.
Light band pattern.

Test for flatness by observing the light, emitted from the monochromatic light head, reflecting from the surface being checked, up through the
optical flat. A series of dark bands and light spaces will be projected. Refer to Illustration 8. The dark bands are not light rays, but show where
interference is produced by reflections from the test piece in the optical flat. Inspect the light bands for straightness. If the bands are straight and
parallel, the surface is flat. If the bands are curved, the surface is not flat but may be flat enough for your particular needs.

Port Plate
Port Plate Nomenclature and Issues
14/9/22, 17:48 SIS 2.0
(1) Control Surface
(2) Contact Surface

between port plate and barrel.
If there is wave-shaped wear on the control surface of the control plate, then the control surface must be replaced. This wear can be felt with a
pencil between the kidney shaped slots.
Wave-shaped run-in is a result of fine dirt particles in the pressure fluid. A high density of solid matter particles ranging from 5 to 10 microns has
the effect of lapping paste.
If both the port plate and barrel are to be replaced with new parts, then no lapping is necessary. New parts are ground to dimension and are
interchangeable. When new and used parts are paired, the control surface must be lapped together.
(3) Rib
(4) Seal Bands
(5) Thrust Face
(6) Port
Contact surface of the port plate must be flat and level. Inspect the levelness with a straight scale.
Use Again
Note: Use the power lapping procedure on both sides of all port plates that can be used again before plates are installed.
A port plate that has scratches or scored marks that can be felt with a fingernail or pencil lead on the critical surfaces or between the ports cannot
be used again. Port plates that are smeared or galled on the critical surfaces or have blue discoloration cannot be used again. An indication of a
smeared or galled port plate is bronze colored material on the port plate surface.
14/9/22, 17:48 SIS 2.0
Use the touch lapping procedure on port plates that have scratches or score marks that can be seen but cannot be felt.
Note: If a port plate and a bearing plate are exchanged at the same time, then lapping is not necessary. New spare parts are ground to dimension
at the factory and are interchangeable. When matching used parts with new parts, lapping is required.

Lapping the Barrel to the Port Plate
If the barrel and the port plate are both replaced at the same time, then lapping is not necessary. New parts are ground to dimension and are
interchangeable. When matching used parts with new parts, lapping is required.
Abrasives
NOTICE
When using abrasives, limit exposure to skin to avoid irritation.
Avoid inhalation if the abrasive is in the form of powder.
Silicon Carbide and Aluminum Oxide lapping compound are recommended for the abrasives. A medium-fine 500-600 grit (17-14 microns) Silicon
Carbide is desired for pre-lapping. A medium-fine 500-600 grit (17-14 microns) Aluminum Oxide is desired for final lapping. Silicon Carbide will
remove material from the port plate and Aluminum Oxide will help with achieving the desired surface finish. Lapping compound can be obtained in
a paste or a powder. Lapping compound should be mixed with a light oil. Avoid water base compounds. When preparing the compound, obtain a
syrup consistency. The mixture should contain 50% oil.
Surface Examination
The following steps will provide a method to check the barrel and the port plate.
1. Examine the surface of the port plate and barrel. Look for wear if the components are used. Light scratches can be removed by lapping. Use
a sharp pencil to identify any large grooves or imperfections. Parts may need replaced if a pencil cannot easily run over the grooves or
imperfections.
2. Examine the surface roughness of the barrel and port plate. An average roughness of 0.1 µm (3.9 microinches) is acceptable for the port
plate. An average roughness of 0.2 - 0.3 µm (7.8 - 11.8 microinches) is acceptable for the barrel.
14/9/22, 17:49 SIS 2.0
3. Scribe at least three lines using pencil lead from the center of the barrel outward. This procedure will verify the mating of the two parts. See
Illustrations 117 and 118.
4. Center the port plate on the barrel. Rotate the port plate on the barrel. Apply light pressure and make five rotations.

Unacceptable

14/9/22, 17:49 SIS 2.0

Acceptable

5. Remove the port plate from the barrel. Check the pencil lead marks. Record the wear pattern. Examine the remaining length of the lead
marks.
Note: 1/3 of the line should remain visible. The line should be located near the center of the barrel. Illustration 119 indicates an unacceptable
barrel. Illustration 120 indicates an acceptable barrel. Start the procedure if any one condition exists.
Initial lapping
1. Apply a light coat of 500-600 grit (17-14 microns) Silicon Carbide lapping compound to the port plate. Place the barrel on the port plate. Refer
to Illustration 121.
14/9/22, 17:49 SIS 2.0
2. Rotate the barrel in a circular motion while moving the barrel around the center of the port plate. The lapping motion should form an eccentric
pattern. Refer to Illustrations 122 and 123. An eccentric pattern is desired so that grooves are not created from a repeated motion. Apply
moderate pressure during lapping. Continue this process for 15 to 20 passes.
Note: The large cross hair indicates the center of the port plate which lies below the barrel. The small cross hair indicates the center of the
barrel on an eccentric path.
3. Clean the barrel and the port plate with a solvent to remove the lapping compound. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 in the "Surface Examination"
section. If the desired result is not achieved, continue lapping. Move to Step 4 once the surface is free from scratches and imperfections.
Note: Step 4 uses the file method for testing hardness. This step is not to be confused with traditional Rockwell testing. Hardness testing files
and instructions can be obtained from a local tool supplier.
4. Perform a hardness test on the port plate using the file method. Use a hardness testing file at 65 Rockwell C. Check the lands that have been
affected by lapping. The part must be replaced if the hardness file scratches the surface. Insome cases, the amount of material removed from
the port plate may be too great to maintain the minimum material harness of 67 Rockwell C. Proceed to the final lapping procedure if the
recommended results were achieved.
Final Lapping
1. Apply a light coat of 500-600 grit (17-14 microns) Aluminum Oxide lapping compound to the port plate. Place the barrel on the port plate.
2. Rotate the barrel in a circular motion while moving the barrel around the center of the port plate in an eccentric pattern. Refer to Illustrations
122 and 123. An eccentric pattern is desired so that grooves are not created from a repeated motion. Apply moderate pressure while lapping.
Continue this process for 15 to 20 passes.
3. Clean the barrel and port plate with a solvent to remove the lapping compound.
4. Apply a light coat of oil to the port plate to prevent corrosion. Place the barrel on the port plate.

Do Not Use Again
Note: Cylinder bores cannot be reworked. Therefore, if there are scratches, grooves, scoring, local indentations, or break-out in the piston stroking
area, further inspection is not needed. The barrel must be replaced. Refer to Illustration 124.

Dark discoloration on the control surface is not a sign of damage. However, with pittings (lead washouts), dark discolorations are indications of
overheating. Single pittings can be removed with lapping. Interlinked pittings or breakouts and/or cracks along the core borders require
replacement of the barrel.

Barrel Assembly Bores and Piston Fit

Use the following procedure to check the barrel assembly bores.
1. Wash the barrel assembly and piston in a clean solvent. Use compressed air to dry off the barrel assembly and piston.
2. Put a piston into one of the bores to the maximum depth that the piston will go into the bore during operation.
3. Feel for side movement of the piston in each bore.

How to check the side movement of a piston in a barrel assembly bore.

If no movement or only little side movement can be felt in all of the bores, the barrel assembly can be used again. Refer to Illustration 132.
Note: Use a piston in a new barrel assembly to see how much side movement can be permitted. If necessary, use a dial bore gauge to measure
the bore diameters.
Barrel Assembly Spline Measurement

Measurement of the barrel assembly splines.


Measurement of barrel splines between pins.

If no wear can be seen on the barrel assembly splines, the barrel assembly can be used again. If necessary, use two pins and an inside
micrometer to measure the splines (X) as shown in Illustration 134. Put the pins 180° apart in the worn area of the splines. For barrel assemblies
that have an odd number of spline teeth, put the pins in splines as near to 180° apart as possible. Use clay or masking tape to hold the pins in
position. Refer to manufacturer specifications. Refer to Illustrations 133 and 134.
Control Lens

Control lens nomenclature.
(A) Control surface
(B) Contact surface between control lens and barrel.

If there is a wave-shaped wear on the control surface of the control lens, then the lens must be replaced. This wear can be felt with a pencil lead
between the kidney-shaped slots.
Wave-shaped run-in is a result of fine dirt particles in the pressure fluid. A high density of solid matter particles smaller than 5 to 10 microns has the
same effect as lapping paste.
If both the control lens and barrel are to be replaced with new parts, then no lapping is necessary. New parts are ground to dimension and are
interchangeable. When used and new parts are paired, the control surfaces must be hand-lapped together.

If the bearing assembly is removed from the drive shaft, the nut must always be replaced. Replacing the nut is a safety precaution.
When the drive shaft is assembled, secure the nut on the drive shaft with Loctite. Prior to assembly, the part should be cleaned with 4C-8648
Cleaner (Hydrosolv 4110).
Once threads on the drive shaft are clean, coat the thread with Loctite primer. This primer will improve the holding capability of the Loctite. The
primer also shortens the drying time of the Loctite to approximately 20 minutes.
Finally, coat the male threads of the drive shaft with Loctite 242. The Loctite 242 should be applied only to the area under the nut, not to the
complete length of the thread.

Procedure to Salvage Shaft Seal Area

Grooves in the seal area that can be felt with a fingernail, as shown in Illustration 272, can be removed to make the part usable again.
Note: Follow the metal spray manufacturer directions carefully in the application of metal spray to the shaft seal area.
The salvage procedure is as follows:
1. Measure the shaft outside diameter at the seal area and the shoulder radius (if present) and make a note of each dimension.
2. Worn or damaged surfaces designated as salvageable by chrome plating can also be salvaged by a metal spray process. Metal spray is an
acceptable method of restoring a surface to the original size. Each step in the procedure is critical in achieving the desired coating bond and
surface finish. See any of the thermal spray Reuse and Salvage Guidelines found in the "References" section at the beginning of this
document for more information.
3. Grind the seal area to the diameter you measured in Step 1. The surface finish must be 0.40 to 0.80 µm (16 to 32 µinch). The wheel radius
must be the same or greater than the shoulder radius measured in Step 1.
Spline Measurement
14/9/22, 17:49 SIS 2.0

Measurement of the shaft splines.

If the splines have a visible wear step, the shaft cannot be used again. If necessary, measure the splines. Use two pins placed in the splines 180°
apart. For shafts that have an odd number of spline teeth, put the pins in splines as near to 180° apart as possible. Put rubber bands around the
pins and shaft to keep the pins in place. Refer to Illustrations 273 and 274. Refer to the manufacturer for reusability specifications for the pin
diameter and the use again dimension. Use an outside diameter micrometer to measure across the pins. The crown splines must be measured at
the center of the spline for the correct measurement. If measurement is less than the dimension given by the manufacturer, the shaft cannot be
used again.
