The pump group consists of the following components: two rotating groups (15) and (16), two actuators (11), two swashplates (13), shaft (4), four cross over relief valves (6), charge pressure relief valve (7) and speed sensing valve.
The pilot ports (2) and (5) are used to control the angle of the swashplate (13). The angle of the swashplate and the engine rpm controls the output of the pump. The pilot ports are connected to the resolver network on the pilot operated hydraulic control.
The piston pump operates in a closed loop system. The piston pump is a variable displacement piston pump with a maximum displacement of 30 cc/rev (1.83 in3/rev) for the 216 and the 232. The maximum displacement for the piston pump for the 226 and the 242 is 38.5 cc/rev (2.35 in3/rev). The pump is driven from the engine flywheel by a coupling that is splined to the pump input shaft.

The shaft (4) for the rotating groups consists of two shafts that are splined together between the two rotating groups. Each swashplate within the rotating group can operate independently. Rotating group 1 (15) supplies the left hand piston motor and rotating group 2 (16) supplies the right hand piston motor. For the following example of the operation of the pump, rotating group 1 will be used. Rotating group 2 will operate in the same manner.
When the operator moves the pilot operated hydraulic control in order to move the machine forward, pilot oil flows out of the hydraulic control and into pilot port (5). This causes the actuator piston (18) to move to the right in illustration 3. The movement of the piston to the right causes the slider (12) to move the control arm for the swashplate (10). The movement of the control arm increases the angle of the swashplate (13). Half of the pistons in the cylinder barrel pull oil into each cylinder as the pistons rotate around the swashplate. The oil enters the rotating group through port (A). The other half of the pistons push oil out of each cylinder. The oil exits the rotating group through port (B). As the angle of the swashplate increases the output of the rotating group increases.

(21) Speed sensing valve | |
The speed sensing valve (21) senses the change in the flow of oil from the gear pump as the engine speed changes. An orifice in the speed sensing valve creates a pressure differential within the valve. The valve uses the pressure differential to route more flow or less flow to the pilot operated hydraulic control in order to control the piston pump. An increase in the pressure differential will cause more oil to flow to the hydraulic control. The hydraulic control uses this oil to control the swashplates in the pump group. The pressure of the speed sensing valve to the hydraulic control fluctuates from 1100 kPa (160 psi) to 2600 kPa (380 psi). The solenoid valve ( hydrostatic) must be energized in order for the pilot operated hydraulic control to be functional.
