A look at the spool in the center of the turn table on an Excavator. This shows how oil gets to the wheel motors without any hoses binding up.

@willingtowork not a spool. That maybe what they call that down south, but the correct term is "rotary manifold" A spool is what the valve banks consist of, they stroke back and forth and are controlled by pilot hydraulic pressure. Those are directly behind the swing motor in this pictured Hitachi EX270LC-1 unit. I can't remember if there is a bulkhead welded between the swing drive and the valve banks.

This is one of those things I never understood during my childhood and teenage years. I would think about it, but forget to ask whenever I met someone who could actually explain/demonstrate it. Thank you for providing a simple and easy to understand answer to one of my oldest questions! =D By the way, would someone care to explain how the hydraulic oil is "reversed" in the rotating centerpiece? It may be a silly question, but it's kind of bugging me now that I finally understand the first part..

If I understand your question correctly then I think the best way to explain it is that the fluid is always being pushed and not pulled when going the other way. One of the those holes goes to the track and then another comes back. When the track goes backward the pump pushes through the other hole forcing the fluid the other direction. It’s the same with the hydraulic cylinders. It’s always pushing from either end. Never “pulling” with suction. Maybe this is not what you meant though.

Is that spool dead center in the slew ring? And If so I'm also guess that when you showed it from the engine compartment, that big round piece to the left is the drive gear that mates to the slew ring.
@fatboyshadetree51396 жыл бұрын
So the fluid in one hose comes down and fills one "level" and so it can only exit one orifice on the bottom half no matter which way it faces. That's some extreme tolerances to not leak under that pressure. I'm sitting at a construction company with 3 of them and was curious how they moved independent of the upper half. Could make for a he'll of an amusement ride if you say in the bucket while spinning and moving forward.

@bunabhucan11 жыл бұрын
The device being examined isn't involved with making the whole thing turn. It just solves the problem of how to get four hoses from the top part to the bottom part while allowing "infinite" turning. It turns on a "slewing bearing" - two rings, with ball bearings separating them. One ring attaches to the top, the other to the bottom. One ring will have gear teeth on it, the other part of the machine will turn using motors connected to a gear tooth engaged with the fixed gears on the bearing.

1) Yes, you would need two more ports on the top (or wherever you can fit them so long as the principle still works), and two more rings on the bottom. You are quite the machinist if you can make one. 2) Yes, a very similar design is used for those "Fixing a Retractable Cord Reel" youtube search 1:41 you can see the contactor rings where a tab would ride on each ring allowing for continuity while being able to spin continuously

Great. Now would someone please invent a valve on a hose connector that releases when there is too much pressure instead the hose bursting randomly anywhere! Then we just lose some oil, the valve closes back when you stop overworking the part, you can refill and get back to work with less gusto this time. I'm surprised nobody's done it. This is like electricity without fuses.
