1.1 Load-sensing system

1.1.1 Description
In a load-sensing hydraulic system, the pump only supplies the flow required for the functions.
The output of the pump is never greater than the current load. All hydraulic systems in
Konecranes lift trucks are load-sensing.

Load Pump

The advantages of a load-sensing system are the following:

• No flow in the system when it is not used


• Only the required flow when lifting or moving
• No unnecessary overpressure when lifting small loads
• Smaller losses and less wear to the hydraulic system
• Greater precision and more flexible maneuvering of the machine
• Lower energy consumption
• Less heat development

In a load-sensing system, the load to which the system is subjected is measured, which controls
the output from the hydraulic pump.

The system remains in balance:

• Light load - low output


• Heavy load - high output

Load Pump

The variable piston pump is the main component of the system. When the load on the system
changes, for example, when lifting, a load signal provides the pump with information about the
change. The system makes a corresponding change to the output.

Load Pump

Load signal

The following diagram shows the principle of a load-sensing system. The load signal (LS) which
controls the pump is taken from the directional control valve.

Load Pump

Directional
valve

1.1.2 Function
The truck driver controls the hydraulic functions using joysticks that actuate the directional
control valve.

The system is proportional. A small joystick movement causes a small deflection on the
directional control valve, for small oil flow. A large joystick movement causes a larger deflection
on the valve, for large oil flow.

When the directional control valve is closed, the pump delivers a low basic pressure, which is
known as the stand-by pressure. When the system is activated, oil flows through the directional
control valve, from P to A, and the pressure drops. This pressure drop is called DeltaP.

TM Hydraulic System FLT.02en
1 DESCRIPTION TECHNICAL MANUAL

The stand-by pressure should be slightly higher than DeltaP. It is important that the pump
provides the correct stand-by pressure in order for the system to work correctly.

When the joystick is in the neutral position and the system is not at work, the load signal is zero.
The output from the pump, which corresponds to the stand-by pressure, is low, and the output
requirement from the diesel engine is also low.

A small joystick movement only causes a small flow, but high pressure. The load signal provides
the pump with information, and the pump then delivers the corresponding output.

45

A large joystick movement causes a large flow and high pressure. The load signal provides the
pump with information, and the pump then delivers the maximum output.

2.1.2 Function

A
V2

V1

The input shaft rotates and drives the barrel and pistons. Oil is drawn into the cylinders through
the inlet side and is pressed out of the cylinders through the outlet side.

The angle of the swashplate (A) determines the volumes (V1) and (V2). The difference between
(V1) and (V2) is the displacement, the volume of oil the pump gives per revolution.

When the actuator pressure is zero, the swashplate (A) is tilted to the maximum. The difference
in volume on the inlet side (V1) and outlet side (V2) is at its most and the pump supplies its
maximum flow. When the load signal is zero, the actuator pressure holds back the swashplate
to the minimum and there is no flow.

V2 A

V1

When less oil is required, the angle (A) of the swashplate is reduced. The difference between
(V1) and (V2) drops and the pump supplies a smaller quantity of oil.

2.2 Load-sensing system


The following illustration shows the system with the engine switched off, on the left, and with the
engine running, on the right. When there is no pressure in the system, the spring-loaded
actuator piston (1) of the pump is in the position for maximum pump output.

The line from the spring-loaded actuator piston (1) runs through the valve for maximum
pressure (P-max) and stand-by pressure valve (DeltaP) directly to the hydraulic tank. The
pressure in the stand-by pressure valve (DeltaP) can be adjusted using an Allen key.

Pump Pump

When the diesel engine starts, the pump delivers the maximum output for a short period ot time,
until the stand-by pressure is reached.

Once the stand-by pressure is reached, the valve (2) adjusts the pump and maintains it at the
set pressure, irrespective of the speed of the diesel engine.

When the system is put to work through the joystick, the directional control valve (3) changes
position and the (LS) line is pressurized. The valve (4) is reset, and the pressure in the actuator
piston (5) drops. The pump output then increases, until it corresponds to the load on the
system.

When the pump output corresponds to the load on the system, the valve (6) is adjusted and
maintains the pump at the right output.

Pump Pump

When the cylinder is at the end position, the maximum pressure can be reached. The pressure
in the load signal (LS) increases and the valve (4) is reset. The pressure in the actuator piston
(5) decreases and the pump output increases.

When the pump output is equal to the set maximum pressure for the valve (7), its position
changes. The pressure in the actuator piston (8) increases and the pump output decreases. The
pressure is maintained until the cylinder moves or the directional control valve is switched.

2.3 Steering priority valve


The steering priority valve is preset to give a controlled pressure of 180 ... 200 bar.

Oil is led from the variable piston pump (7) (105 cc) to the steering priority valve (3). The main
function of the steering priority valve (3) is to supply oil to the steering system ahead of the
machine's other hydraulic functions.

When the engine starts, the pressure builds up to stand-by pressure. The steering priority valve
(3) receives stand-by pressure at port P from the pump. The stand-by pressure is transferred to
CF and further to the steering orbitrol (2).

Return pressure at the steering orbitrol feeds to PP on the priority valve. The valve switches
position so that the stand-by pressure is on EF, to which the directional control valve is
connected. The steering orbitrol feeds a small contracted oil flow through the LS-line into the
tank.

A gear pump (2) (23 cc) supplies the accumulator charging valve (13) with oil from the hydraulic
tank (1). The pressure is distributed in the valve to the accumulator (12), service brake (11), and
the parking brake (9). Oil from the valve also cools the multi-disc brake (10) in the drive axle.
The gear pump is seated in tandem on the variable piston pump (3) (Parker series P2, 105 cc).

Oil from the piston pump goes to the steering priority valve (6) which distributes the oil to the
steering orbitrol (8) and the directional control valve (16) (Parker L90). The priority valve
ensures that the steering is given priority over the other functions of the machine.

The load signal is led back from the steering orbitrol to the priority valve and to the shuttle valve
(5), where it is compared to the load signal from the directional control valve. After the shuttle
valve, the load signal is led through a restrictor and non-return valve (4) to the piston pump.

The directional control valve is controlled with the joysticks in the cabin. The valve distributes oil
to respective hydraulic functions (15). The return oil from the functions runs through the
directional control valve back to the hydraulic tank where the return filter (14) is located.

3 MEASUREMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS


3.1 Measuring and setting the hydraulic pressure
The location of the measuring point and adjustment points differ slightly on the different
machine models. For pressure values not stated in this manual, see the machine card.

3.2 Measuring and setting the stand-by pressure, one pump


The correct stand-by pressure is a prerequisite for hydraulic functions to work properly. The
pressure is measured when the hydraulic system is not working (load signal is zero) and the
diesel engine is in the idle position.

3.2.1 Checking the load signal (LS)


1. Connect a pressure gauge (300 bar) to the
test point (1).

2. Start the diesel engine and let it idle.


3. Check that the pump load signal is zero bar, the hydraulics not in use.
4. Perform the troubleshooting action if the load signal (LS) is not at zero bar. For more
information, see Troubleshooting.

NOTE If the load signal (LS) is not at zero bar, then the stand-by pressure cannot be set
correctly.

3 MEASUREMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS TECHNICAL MANUAL

3.4 Measuring and setting the maximum working pressure


When using a hydraulic function, the working pressure rises to the level required to carry out the
work. The maximum pressure is only reached at maximum work load or when a hydraulic
function reaches its end position.

1. Connect a pressure gauge (300 bar) to the


measuring point (1).
To achieve the maximum operating
pressure, lift the mast to the maximum
height.

2. To set the pressure of all pumps, screw out the adjusting screw P-max (2) by approximately
one turn.
The maximum pressure is set with the lower adjusting screw (P-max) on the pumps.
NOTE To adjust the pressure of a single pump, reduce the pressure of the other pumps.

Adjust the maximum operating pressure of the pump in the order of increasing
NOTE pressure, starting from the pump with the lowest pressure.
3. To check that the pump is operating properly, set the pressure 10 bar above the maximum
pressure.
After this check, set the pressure according to the machine card.

3.5 Measuring and setting the delta pressure (DeltaP)

3.5.1 Principle
A pressure drop (DeltaP) occurs when oil flows through the directional control valve. If DeltaP is
too low, the pump does not provide sufficient oil flow which results in the incorrect working of
the hydraulic system.

P1

When the engine speed is low, a too low DeltaP can be unnoticeable. At a high speed, the
symptom of a too low DeltaP is that the system works slowly or not at all.

A too high DeltaP results in the hydraulic functions being difficult to control and reduces the
other advantages of the load-sensing system.

The measuring and setting procedure differs for machines equipped with one variable
NOTE pump or several variable pumps.

3.5.2 Measuring and setting the delta pressure, one pump


1. Connect a pressure gauge to the
measuring point (1) on the outlet of the
pump and to the measuring point (2) on the
LS-line.
2

2. Start the diesel engine and run at 1000 ... 1500 rpm.
3. To run a hydraulic function without a load, but not to the end position, move the joystick
halfway.
4. Read the pressure difference while the function is running.
The pressure difference is DeltaP.
5. If necessary, adjust the delta pressure with the adjusting screw (3) marked Delta P on the
pump.
