Safety



Illustration 1g02139237

------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death can result from improperly checking for a leak.

Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak. Escaping air or fluid under pressure, even a pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue causing serious injury, and possible death.

If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.


------ WARNING! ------

Pump test pressures in this guideline may exceed the normal operating range of the hydraulic test hoses utilized when connecting the tested pump to the test bench. However, the order of magnitude of these pressures is significantly below the burst strength of the Caterpillar "XT6" product.

High pressure oil can escape through improperly assembled hoses and fittings. High pressure oil can also escape through poorly maintained hoses and fittings. High pressure oil may also leak through hose that has become damaged over the life of the hose due to the pressure levels that occur during test bench operation.

Personal injury or death can result from improper hose & fitting inspection or improper hose replacement procedures. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate body tissue causing serious injury, and possible death.

Thoroughly inspect all testing hoses, fittings, and quick disconnects prior to any testing operation. Check the assembly date tag or hose assembly log date for a hose life indicator. Replace all Test Bench hoses at a minimum of every 2 years or earlier if the hose or fittings appear to be damaged.


------ WARNING! ------

Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact skin.


Note: Do not attempt to make any pump adjustments while the pump is on the machine. This document was designed to test pumps using a hydraulic test bench.

Note: The accuracy of the mechanical zero position and the hydraulic zero position is crucial. The use of the 198-4240 Electric Pressure Gauge Group is Highly recommended.

Set Up for the Front Pump

Note: A power supply is required to operate the solenoid. The power supply should be capable of delivering 0 A to 1.5 A with an infinite setting in that range.

  1. Install pressure taps in the following test ports:

    (54) Gauge port for charge pressure (port PS)

    (56) Gauge port for stroking pressure (X2, front pump)

    (62) Gauge port for stroking pressure (X1, front pump)

    (74) Gauge port for discharge pressure B (MB, front pump)

    (84) Gauge port for discharge pressure A (MA, front pump)

  2. Connect power supply to front Proportional solenoid A (57) or B (61).

  3. Connect power supply to Sequence valve solenoid (80) if pump is equipped with breaking valve.

    Note: Be sure to use XT-6ES rated hydraulic hose.

  4. Connect front pump discharge ports B (65) and A (66) to the 9U-5902 Rectifier Block high-pressure ports (86) and (89).

  5. Connect the 9U-5902 Rectifier Block high-pressure outlet (87) to the flow meter inlet on the test bench.

  6. Connect the flow meter outlet to the 9U-5398 Heat Exchanger inlet (90) .

  7. Connect the 9U-5893 Heat Exchanger outlet (91) to the low-pressure return (88) on the 9U-5902 Rectifier Block.

  8. Connect two red transducers 34500 kPa (5000 psi) (95) or two 40000 kPa (5800 psi) 8T-0860 Pressure Gauges to the front pump Gauge ports for discharge pressure B (74) and A (84) .

  9. Connect a hose from rear discharge port B (67) to rear discharge port A (68). Connect the discharge ports to isolate the rear pump. At this point the rear pump will not be tested.

  10. Connect a hose from Inlet for charge oil (79) to the auxiliary oil outlet on the test bench.

  11. Fill the pump case with oil. Pour oil directly into Case drain port (78) until the case is full. Direct flow from Case drain port (78) to test bench reservoir.

  12. Install a pressure gauge on Gauge port for charge pressure (54).

  13. Do not rotate the pump in the wrong direction. The correct direction of rotation will be stated on the pump. The correct direction of rotation will also be in the Test Specifications. The direction of rotation is viewed from the input shaft end. Visually check the pump for proper rotation.

Test Procedure for the Front Pump

The ISO contamination rating of the hydraulic oil in the test bench should be at least 16/13. The oil in the test bench should be one of the following.

  • SAE 10W at 50 °C (122 °F) or

  • Mobil DTE-11 at 46 °C (115 °F)

Adjustment for Mechanical Zero Position for the Front Pump

  1. Turn the load control on the test bench completelyclockwise to control the pump discharge pressure. Start rotating the pump at the value in Step 2 of the Test Specifications. Be sure to sustain charge pump flow to Inlet for charge oil (79). Connect a hose between the front ports for the stroking pressure X2 (56) and X1 (62). If the mechanical zero adjustment is incorrect, a discharge pressure higher than the charge pressure may occur.

    Note: Increase signal current to Sequence valve solenoid (80) until braking valve is activated. This will allow the charge pressure to be read at gauge port for charge pressure (54). This will also allow the pump to produce flow when proportional solenoids A and B receive current later in this document.

    Note: If the mechanical zero is unable to be set correctly, the hydraulic zero may be too far out of adjustment. In this case it will be necessary to set the hydraulic zero within 300 kPa (43.5 psi) using the procedure "Adjustment for Hydraulic Zero Position for the Front Pump". Try to set the mechanical zero again. This may need to repeated several times to achieve the correct mechanical zero adjustment. After the mechanical zero is set, proceed to "Adjustment for Hydraulic Zero Position for the Front Pump". For the final hydraulic zero adjustment, set the hydraulic zero within 21 kPa (3 psi)

  2. Turn Adjustment screw for mechanical zero (front pump) (73) clockwise. Continue to turn until pressure increases on the Gauge port discharge pressure B (74) or the Gauge port for discharge pressure A (84). Mark the position of Adjustment screw for mechanical zero (front pump) (73).

  3. Turn Adjustment screw for mechanical zero (front pump) (73) counterclockwise until pressure increases on Gauge ports for discharge pressure B (74) or A (84). Mark the position of the Adjustment screw for mechanical zero (front pump) (73).

  4. A mark should be placed halfway between position one and position two. Turn Adjustment screw for mechanical zero (front pump) (73) to the midpoint of both marks. There should be less than a 34.5 kPa (5 psi) pressure differential between Gauge ports for discharge pressure B (74) and A (84).

  5. Stop rotating the pump. Turn the load control on the test bench for pump discharge pressure counterclockwise. Allow the discharge pressure of the pump to decrease. Disconnect red transducers or pressure gauges from front Gauge ports for discharge pressure B (74) and A (84).

Adjustment for Hydraulic Zero Position for the Front Pump

  1. Connect two blue transducers 3450 (500 psi) (96) or connect two 6000 kPa (870 psi) 8T-0856 Pressure Gauges to front Gauge ports for stroking pressure X2 (56) and X1 (62).

  2. Start rotating the pump to the value listed in Step 2 of the Test Specifications. Be sure to sustain charge pump flow to Inlet for charge oil (79). Turn the load control for the pump discharge pressure completelyclockwise. This will allow pump discharge pressure to increase in the following steps.

    Note: Increase signal current to Sequence valve solenoid (80) until braking valve is activated. This will allow the charge pressure to be read at gauge port for charge pressure (54). This will also allow the pump to produce flow when proportional solenoids A and B receive current later in this document.

  3. Loosen Clamping screw for hydraulic zero adjustment (front pump) (59). Adjust Adjustment screw for hydraulic zero (front pump) (60) until the pressure at the front Gauge ports for stroking pressure X2 (56) and X1 (62) differ by less than 21 kPa (3 psi). Tighten Clamping screw for hydraulic zero adjustment (front pump) (59). Recheck hydraulic zero pressures. Repeat Step 3 if necessary.

    Note: Do not turn Adjustment screw for hydraulic zero (front pump) (60) more than 90 degrees in either direction.

  4. Turn the load control for the pump discharge pressure counterclockwise. This will allow pump discharge pressure to decrease. Stop rotating the pump and allow pump pressure to dissipate. Disconnect the pressure gauges that are connected to the front Gauge ports for stroking pressure X2 (56) and X1 (62).

Testing the Front Pump Control

Note: The steps in the procedure correlate with the steps under the Test Specifications according to your specific part number.

The contamination level of the hydraulic oil in the test bench should be ISO 16/13 or better. The oil in the test bench should be one of the following.

  • SAE 10W at 50 °C (122 °F) or

  • Mobil DTE-11 at 46 °C (115 °F)

Illustration 14g01143458

  1. Start rotating the pump according to the RPM in Step 1 of the Test Specifications. Pumps without a charge pump will require auxiliary charge flow according to the value in Step 1 of the Test Specifications. Verify the flow rates and listen for abnormal noise. Verify that all connections are secure. Verify that all connections are tight. Check for leaks around shaft seals. Check for leaks around control valves. Check the Gauge port for charge pressure (54). Compare the actual charge pressure with the value in Step 1 of the Test Specifications. If the charge pressure is not within the Test Specifications, replace the charge relief valve. Run the pump for at least 5 minutes to raise the temperature of the oil and purge the system of air.

    Note: Increase signal current to Sequence valve solenoid (80) until braking valve is activated. This will allow charge pressure to be read at Gauge port for charge pressure (54). This will also allow the pump to produce flow when proportional solenoids A and B receive current later in this document.

    Note: The front pump has two separate proportional solenoids. Test one solenoid at a time, then repeat steps 2 through 4 of the Test Procedure to test the other solenoid.

  2. Slowly increase the pump RPM to the value in Step 2 of the Test Specifications. Increase the signal current to front Proportional solenoid A (57) or B (61) according to the value in Step 2 of the Test Specifications. This is the point of upstroke of the pump. The pump operation or the control of the signal pressure may not be operating properly if the actual discharge flow is not correct.

    Note: Some flow meters may not be able to read discharge flows at this level. Increase signal current to a value that is higher than the value in Step 2 of the Test Specifications if the flow meter does not register the flow. Continue until the flow begins to register.

  3. Increase the signal current to front Proportional solenoid A (57) or B (61) to the value in Step 3 of the Test Specifications. The pump should be fully upstroked (maximum displacement). Record actual pump flow. The pump or the control for the proportional solenoid valve may not be mechanically feasible if the actual flow is not equal to the value in Step 3 of the Test Specifications.

  4. Increase pump discharge pressure to the value in Step 4 of the Test Specifications. Measure pump leakage at this point. Calculate the total loss. The pump may not be mechanically feasible if the total loss is higher than the allowable value in Step 4 of the Test Specifications.

    Subtract the discharge flow that was recorded in Step 4 of the Test Procedure from the discharge flow that was recorded in Step 3 of the Test Procedure to find the total loss.

    Example: Step 3 flow 162 L/min (42.8 US gpm) - "Step 4 flow" 158 L/min (41.7 US gpm) = "total loss" 4 L/min (1.1 US gpm). The "max. allowable loss" is 7.2 L/min (1.9 US gpm).

    The pump in the example is acceptable because the actual total loss is less than the maximum allowable loss.

Repeat Steps 2 through 4 of the Test Procedure by connecting the power supply to the opposite front Proportional solenoid A (57) or B (61).

------ WARNING! ------

Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact skin.

Increase the signal current to rear Proportional solenoid B (50) or A (71) according to the value in Step 2 of the Test Specifications. This is the point of upstroke of the pump. The pump operation or the control of the signal pressure may not be operating properly if the actual discharge flow is not correct.

    Note: Some flow meters may not be able to read discharge flows at this level. Slowly increase signal current to a value that is higher than the value in Step 2 of the Test Specifications if the flow meter does not register the flow. Continue until the flow begins to register.

  3. Increase the signal current to rear Proportional solenoid B (50) or A (71) to the value in Step 3 of the Test Specifications. The pump should be fully upstroked (maximum displacement). Record actual pump flow. The pump or the control for the proportional solenoid valve may not be mechanically feasible if the actual flow is not equal to the value in Step 3 of the Test Specifications.

  4. Increase pump discharge pressure to the value in Step 4 of the Test Specifications. Measure pump leakage at this point. Calculate the total loss. The pump may not be mechanically feasible if the total loss is higher than the allowable value in Step 4 of the Test Specifications.

    Subtract the discharge flow that was recorded in Step 4 of the Test Procedure from the discharge flow that was recorded in Step 3 of the Test Procedure to find the total loss.

    Example: Step 3 flow 162 L/min (42.8 US gpm) - "Step 4 flow" 158 L/min (41.7 US gpm) = "total loss" 4 L/min (1.1 US gpm). The "max. allowable loss" is 7.2 L/min (1.9 US gpm).

    The pump in the example is acceptable because the actual total loss is less than the maximum allowable loss.

Repeat Steps 2 through 4 of the Test Procedure by connecting the power supply to the opposite rear Proportional solenoid B (50) or A (71).
