Service Manual
Introduction
Safety precautions Always consider safety precautions before beginning a service procedure. Protect
yourself and others from injury. Take the following general precautions whenever servicing a
hydraulic system.
Unintended machine movement

W Warning
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician
or bystanders. To protect against unintended movement, secure the machine or disable/
disconnect the mechanism while servicing.
Flammable cleaning solvents

W Warning
Some cleaning solvents are flammable. To avoid possible fire, do not use cleaning
solvents in an area where a source of ignition may be present.
Fluid under pressure

W Warning
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin
causing serious injury and/or infection. This fluid may also be hot enough to cause burns.
Use caution when dealing with hydraulic fluid under pressure. Relieve pressure in the
system before removing hoses, fittings, gauges, or components. Never use your hand
or any other body part to check for leaks in a pressurized line. Seek medical attention
immediately if you are cut by hydraulic fluid.
Personal safety
W Warning
Protect yourself from injury. Use proper safety equipment, including safety glasses, at all
times.
Hazardous material
W Warning
Hydraulic fluid contains hazardous material. Avoid prolonged contact with hydraulic
fluid. Always dispose of used hydraulic fluid acm³ording to state, and federal
environmental regulations.

Introduction
General instructions Keep it clean

 You can complete many repairs or adjustments without removing the unit from the
machine, if the unit is accessible and you can thoroughly clean it before beginning any
procedures.
Cleanliness is a primary means of assuring satisfactory motor life on either new or

repaired units. Clean the outside of the motor thoroughly before disassembly. Take care to
avoid contamination of the system ports. Cleaning parts with a clean solvent wash and
air drying is usually adequate.
As with any precision equipment, keep all parts free of foreign materials and chemicals.
Protect all exposed sealing surfaces and open cavities from damage and foreign material.
Cap all hoses after removal, and plug all open ports. Cover any unattended parts with a
protective layer of plastic.
Inspect for system contamination

 Inspect the motor for signs of system contamination. If you find contamination, fully
disassemble, clean and inspect all components of the motor.
Replace the O-rings and gaskets

  Replace all O-rings and gaskets. Discard them only after you make certain
that you have the correct replacement parts. Lightly lubricate all O-rings with clean
petroleum jelly before assembly.
Lubricate all moving parts

 During reassembly, coat all moving parts with a film of clean hydraulic oil. This helps
lubricate the surfaces during start-up.
For fluid quality requirements, refer to 520L0463 Hydraulic Fluids and Lubricants,
Technical Information.
Torque procedure
 During reassembly, cross torque all retaining screws to the given value. Do not
overtorque.

Introduction
Variable Series 51 and Series 51-1 variable displacement motors feature a bent-axis rotating
displacement motors group that provides high starting torque and high speed. The ball end of each piston
runs in a bushing pressed into the drive shaft. This permits the transfer of hydraulic
power directly into rotary motion at the drive shaft. The pressure balanced spherical
piston rings maintain contact with the cylinder block bores providing high volumetric
efficiency and low friction. A constant velocity joint (synchronizing shaft) keeps the
rotation of the cylinder block synchronized with the motor output shaft.
A servo piston changes the angle of the rotating group and varys the displacement of
the motor. Decreasing displacement increases speed. Increasing displacement decreases
speed.
Several hydraulic and electrohydraulic controls are available.
The 4-way spool valve shifts the servo supply pressure to change the motor
displacement. The servo supply pressure can be external or internal.

Introduction
Series 51-1 motors Series 51-1 motors feature simplified end cap and control components. The servo piston
in the Series 51-1 has a differential area of 2 to 1. The connecting joint is designed to
decrease the overall length of the motor.
The Series 51-1 control feeds servo pressure directly to the servo piston. Low system
loop pressure for two-position controls, and high system loop pressure for pressure
compensating controls actuates the servo piston.
Rotating hardware and housing components are common between Series 51 and Series
51-1.

Introduction
Closed circuit In a closed circuit, hydraulic lines connect the main ports of the pump to the main ports
of the motor. Fluid flows in either direction from the pump to the motor and back to the
pump. Either of the hydraulic lines can be under high pressure.

MV Output
Input PV
Reservoir Flow (Bi-directional)

P101 170E
The direction and speed of the fluid flow (and motor output shaft rotation) depends
on the position of the pump swash plate. The pump flow and motor displacement
determines motor output shaft speed. The machine load determines the system
pressure.
Open circuit A hydraulic line connects the outlet port of the pump to a directional valve in an open
circuit. The main ports of the motor connect to the working ports of this valve. When the
directional valve is actuated, fluid flows first from the pump to the valve. The directional
valve then directs the fluid to the motor in either direction.

P101 171E
The direction of fluid flow (and motor output shaft rotation) depends on the position
of the directional valve. The motor output speed depends on (1) pump output volume,
(2) the restriction of the valve opening and (3) motor displacement. The machine load
determines the system pressure. The directional valve routes fluid returning from the
motor to the reservoir. Additional components may be necessary to provide dynamic
breaking and to deal with overrunning loads.

Operation
Loop flushing Series 51 and 51-1 motors are designed to accommodate a loop flushing function.
Installations that require additional fluid removal from the main hydraulic circuit because
of transmission cooling requirements use a loop flushing function. The loop flushing
function consists of a shuttle valve and a poppet style relief valve or an orificed relief
valve cartridge.
The shuttle valve acts as a resolver, directing fluid only from the low pressure side of the
loop to the motor relief valve. The shuttle valve is spring centered to the closed position
to prevent high pressure fluid loss from the circuit when reversing directions.

Orificed

P101 266E
The poppet style relief valve regulates the charge pressure level in the system circuit
when there is a pressure differential in the main loop. When you use this valve, the
pressure setting of the motor must be less than the pump’s charge pressure setting. The
pressure setting of this valve is critical to achieving the proper loop flushing flow rate.

Controls Overview
There are three basic categories of controls available for Series 51 and Series 51-1:
• Two-position controls
• Pressure -compensator controls
• Proportional controls (Series 51 only)
Two-position Two-position controls shift the motor to Two-position control

controls only two discrete positions:
• maximum displacement
• minimum displacement.
Control input may be either by hydraulic

or electrical signal. To change motor
displacement, the control routes pilot
G36
pressure to one end of the servo piston
G42
while draining the other. Series 51-1 G38
controls may direct pilot pressure to G42
2
both ends of the servo simultaneously, G38
allowing the differential area of the M16
piston to stroke the motor to minimum M16A
angle.
M18
M18A
Some two-position controls are available M18 M10
with a Pressure Compensator OverRide M18A M12
(PCOR) feature. M1
The PCOR feature allows normal

M18
2-position control while causing the M18A M16A
motor to increase displacement when M16
system pressure reaches a set level M22
due to load. The pressure compensator P101 268
portion of the control overrides the

minimum displacement position commanded by the control input signal. PCOR controls
are available with brake pressure defeat to prevent the pressure compensator from
operating during dynamic braking.

Service Manual
Operation
Pressure- Pressure compensator (PC) controls

compensator allow the motor to match its
controls displacement to the system load. Usually
this means that the motor defaults to
minimum displacement while allowing
the motor to increase displacement
when system pressure reaches a set level
due to load. This permits the motor to
regulate system pressure by modulating
the displacement angle of the rotating
group. As displacement increases, so
does available torque, while output
speed decreases and system pressure
remains nearly constant at the PC setting.
PC controls are available with a Brake P101 247E

Pressure Defeat (BPD) feature. The BPD
feature defeats the operation of the PC
during dynamic breaking (when the
motor is running as a pump).
A shuttle spool upstream of the PC valve directs only acm³eleration system pressure to
the PC. During dynamic deceleration the dynamic breaking pressure is blocked from
the PC. The motor remains at minimum displacement, limiting rapid and uncontrolled
pressures or engine over-speeding while the vehicle/machine is slowing down. Hydraulic
or electric actuation is available. PC on one system-pressure side is also an option.

Operation
Proportional Proportional control Proportional controls allow the motor

controls to operate in an infinitely variable
displacement position based on a
hydraulic or electrical input signal.
Proportional controls are available on

Series 51 motors. Series 51-1 motors are
two-position only. Proportional controls
are also available with a PCOR feature.
The PCOR feature allows normal

proportional control while causing the
motor to increase displacement when
system pressure reaches a set level
due to load. The pressure compensator
portion of the control overrides any
position less than maximum as
commanded by the control input signal.

recommendations Contaminated fluid is the main cause of unit failure. Take care to maintain fluid
cleanliness when servicing. Inspect vehicle for leaks daily.
Check the reservoir daily for proper fluid level, the presence of water, and rancid fluid
odor. Fluid contaminated by water may appear cloudy or milky or free water may settle
in the bottom of the reservoir. Rancid odor indicates excessive heat. Change the fluid
immediately if these conditions ocm³ur. Correct the problem immediately.

High temperatures and pressures result in acm³elerated fluid aging. More frequent fluid
changes may be required.
Change the fluid more frequently if it becomes contaminated with foreign matter (dirt,
water, grease, etc.) or if the fluid is subjected to temperature levels greater that the
recommended maximum. Dispose of used hydraulic fluid properly. Never reuse hydraulic
fluid.
Change filters whenever the fluid is changed or when the filter indicator shows that it is
necessary to change the filter. Replace all fluid lost during filter change.
