3. FLOW CONTROL
3.1 Minimum flow
- When the engine is running the swash
MCV plate moves to minimum angle position
as per the following steps.
1 The pressure is created by restriction
Foot relief valve
of the foot relief valve.
MAIN PUMP 2 That pressure apply to the piston A.
3 The piston A is moved to LH side.
B 4 The piston B is opened.
5 The pressure flows to the piston C.
6 The piston C is moved to LH side,
C A
therefore the swash plate is positioned
at minimum flow angle.

3.2 MAXIMUM FLOW

- When a machine is operating, oil is
MCV supplied to the actuator(cylinder or motor) so
that no oil pressure reaches piston A.
- Then, the piston B goes back to the neutral
Foot relief valve
position by the spring,and the oil in the large
MAIN PUMP chamber of the cylinder C is returned to the
tank.
- Now the oil is supplied to LH side of the
B cylinder C.
- That pressure moves the piston C to RH
side, therefore the swash plate is positioned
C A
at maximum flow angle during operation.

4. TOTAL HORSEPOWER CONTROL

In order to prevent over load of engine, the pump flows shall automatically be decreased from the
moment that the main pressure becomes higher.
Now both pumps have to be regulated at the same time.

4.1 Over load preventing function(Minimazing)

MCV - When a machine is under load or the cylinder
arrives at end of stroke, the pressure is
increased.
Foot relief valve
Cylinder pressure > spring force (B + D)
MAIN PUMP The pressure is applied at the piston D and
From P1 pump compresses the spring D and B.
So, the piston B moves to LH side and the oil
B enters the piston C through the passage at
D
piston B.

C A The piston C moves the swash plate to

reduce the angle upon the load of cylinder.

4.2 Flow reset function(Maximazing)

MCV - When the load at the cylinder is gone, the
pressure in the cylinder and in the piston D is
decreased.
Foot relief valve
Cylinder pressure < spring force (B + D)
MAIN PUMP Then the oil in the cylinder C returns to the
From P1 pump tank as shown in figure, and the swash
plate angle is increased to give maximum
B flow.

5. POWER SHIFT CONTROL

MCV - When one of the power modes is selected

during operation, the EPPR valve pressure is
applied at the piston D.
Foot relief valve - The piston D compresses the spring and
move the piston B to LH side.
EPPR VALVE MAIN PUMP - Therefore, the pump oil enters to the piston C
and reduces the angle of swash plate.
- So, oil delivery of the pump is reduced.

6. MAX FLOW CUT-OFF FUNCTION

MCV
- When the max flow cut-off switch is ON, the
pilot pressure Pm applied the piston A.
Foot relief valve Then the stopper move to left, overcoming
the spring force, thereby reducing the max
delivery flow of pump.
