Introduction to Hydraulic Schematic Symbols
TE-001
General (Basic and Functional Symbols) Table 2. Rams
Complex hydraulic components and circuits can be Single acting

described to the engineer by using graphical symbols. The
following pages illustrate and give a brief description for
some of the more common symbols used.
Double acting
There are many symbols in use and it would be impossible
to include them all here. However it should be noted that
most are only variations or refinements on the basic
principles explained here. If more detailed information is Double ended
required you are recommended to obtain a copy of
BS2917 or IS01219.
Double acting with damping
Once familiar with the symbols, the engineer can use at rod area end
hydraulic circuit diagrams as an aid to fault finding. It will
be possible to see the complete hydraulic circuit and
decipher the relationship between hydraulic components. Table 3. Pumps and Motors

Control Valves
Control valves are usually represented by one or more
square boxes.
K Fig 1. ( T E-12) shows a control valve represented by

three boxes. The number of boxes indicates the number of
possible valve operating positions, (3 boxes - 3 positions
etc).
Fig 4.
It must be noted that not all spools are of the same type.
Fig 1.
Their operating designs can be seen by following the path
the flow arrows take in their respective operating squares.
K Fig 2. ( T E-12) - In circuit diagrams the pipework is
usually shown connected to the box which represents the
Three typical JCB style spools are known as 'D' spools, 'F'
unoperated condition. (Hydraulic circuit diagrams are
spools and 'N' spools.
usually shown in the unoperated condition).
The 'D' spools generally control rams because when in the
neutral position the outlet ports are blocked, preventing
ram movement. K Fig 4. ( T E-12) shows a 'D' type spool.
K Fig 5. ( T E-12) - 'F' spools are often shown as four

position spools with the three normal positions for neutral
and service control; and the forth position, which has a
Fig 2. detent, connects both sides of the ram together to allow the
service to 'float'.
K Fig 4. ( T E-12) shows a valve described as a 3-
position, 4-port control valve. Port describes the openings
to and from the valve by which the hydraulic fluid enters or
leaves. In the fig shown, Position 2 indicates that in an
unoperated condition all 4 ports are blocked.
Fig 5.
K Fig 6. ( T E-12) - 'N' spools are sometimes used to

control hydraulic motors, and it can be seen from the flow
arrows, that in neutral position both service ports are
connected to the exhaust oil port
Fig 3.
If the valve spool was moved to Position 1, movement of

the spool would connect Port P1 to Port P2, and Port P3 to
Port P4. K Fig 4. ( T E-12).
If the valve spool was moved to Position 3, movement of

the spool would connect Port P1 to Port P4, and Port P3 to Fig 6.

7-A Hydraulic Tank
Hydraulic tank 7-A is a pressurised tank with an internally 7-B Strainer
mounted strainer 7-B on the suction line to the fixed 7-C Fixed Displacement Pump
displacement pump 7-C. System pressure is limited to the
setting of relief valve 7-D. 7-D Relief Valve
7-E Spool
Valve spool 7-E is an open-centre spool that is in neutral 7-F One Way Valve
position; flow from the pump passes through the spool and
returns to the hydraulic tank. 7-G Double Acting Hydraulic Ram
If the lever operated spool is moved away from neutral

position hydraulic fluid is directed to either head side or rod
side of hydraulic ram 7-G. Notice that the fluid must first
open one way valve 7-F before flowing to the ram.

equipment problems and greatly improves safety and
reliability. Furthermore from an economic angle it extends
the life of the hydraulic fluid if quality is maintained.
Effects of Contamination
Once inside the system, hydraulic circuit contaminants
greatly effect the performance and life of hydraulic
equipment. For example, contaminants in a hydraulic
pump develop internal wear to cause internal leakage and
hence lower discharges. Wear particles generated will
circulate with the hydraulic fluid to cause further
deterioration in the performance of this and other
equipment. Contaminants also enter principal sliding
sections of the equipment causing temporary malfunction,
scuffing, sticking and leakage and can lead to major
problems.The main contaminants can be classified as
follows:
1 Solid Particles - sand, fibres, metallic particles,

welding scale, sealing materials and wear particles
etc.
Fig 12. Cleaning Unit
2 Liquid - usually water and incompatible oils and
greases.
3 Gases - Air, sulphur dioxide etc. which can create

corrosive compounds if dissolved in the fluid.
These contaminants can appear during manufacture,

assembly and operation.
Cleaning Operation
The purpose of cleaning oil is to remove contaminants of
all types and sludge by filtering hydraulic fluid through a
E-35 9803/9350-5 E-35

Service Procedures
Hydraulic Contamination
Contaminant Standards
Dirt that damages your system is in many cases too small
to be seen with the eye. The particle size is measured in
microns.
1 micron = 0.001 mm (0.0000394 in).
Listed below are a few typical comparisons:
Red Blood Cell = 8 microns (0.008 mm, 0.000315 in)

Human Hair = 70 microns (0.07 mm, 0.00275 in)
Grain of Salt = 100 microns (0.1 mm, 0.00394 in)
Smallest particle visible to the naked eye is 40 microns

(0.00157) approximately.
Standards will often be quoted to ISO (International

Standards Organisation) for which literature can be
obtained.
Filters
The filter assembly fitted to all product ranges is designed
to filter all the contamination that is generated through use
to the required level of cleanliness. The filter must be
serviced to the requirements of the machine Service
Schedules.
To ensure optimum performance and reliability it is

important that the machines hydraulic system is serviced
periodically in accordance with the manufacturers
requirements.

Assembly
Note: Use new seals and Ò' rings, smeared with hydraulic
fluid on assembly.
Note: If a load check valve has been dismantled then

when assembling check the valve poppet and seat for
scratches, damage and cleanliness. Begin assembly with
the poppet, followed by the spring and finally the plug.
Screw the unit in by hand to feel for any misalignment or
cross threading.
Note: If a spool is removed, when assembling ensure that

the Ò' ring and wiper seal (if fitted) are correctly seated
and not damaged. Pay particular attention to cleanliness
and the smooth finish of the spool. Ensure that the spools
are fitted in their correct positions.
1 Ensure all sections are returned to their original

location. Assembly must be carried out on a clean,
smooth surface.
2 Screw the nuts to one end of each tie rod (to the end
with the shortest length of thread).
3 Insert the tie rods into the first section of the valve.
Place the section on the bench with the free length of
the tie rod uppermost.
4 Lubricate the necessary Ò' rings and place on the

required seats. Add the elements to the tie rods
ensuring that mating surfaces are thoroughly clean.

General Description
The three section gear pump A is driven directly from the

engine crankshaft. All three gear pump drive shafts P1, P2
and P3 are linked together via a splined coupling B.
Each pump consists of two equal sized gears C running in

mesh, one gear is part of the pump driven shaft and the
second gear is part of an idler shaft.
The basic principle of a gear pump depends on the

meshing of these two equal size spur gears C. On the inlet
side of the pump, oil is picked up and trapped in the space
between the teeth on both gear wheels and the pump
body. As the gears rotate the oil is carried around the pump
until the spaces are filled by the meshing teeth of the
second gear. This forces the oil out of the space, through
the pump outlet and into the machine's hydraulic circuit.
The three section pumps have a single inlet port D to the

centre pump section, the two end pumps are fed via an
internal gallery E.

Track Motor
General Description
The track motor consists of a fixed section, made up of a

hydraulic motor and valve unit, and a rotary section which
is a simple double-step planetary speed reduction.
When both tracks are selected to operate, the pump

section P1 feeds the valve block section for the RH travel
motor, P2 feeds the valve block section for the LH travel
motor. Track feeds from the selected spools flow through
the rotary coupling to the respective track motors.
The motor valve plate A has two sets of ports B and C.
B and C are connected to the motor inlet and outlet lines

via the counterbalance valve. When pressurised fluid is
introduced through A, pistons E, on the B side are forced
against the swash plate D.
Reaction force from the swash plate generates radial force

causing rotation of the cylinder block F. Torque generated
at the cylinder block is transmitted to the output shaft G,
through splines on the cylinder block.
The end of the output shaft G has a spline connected gear

which drives two sets of planetary gears H. These reduce
output speed in two steps and transmit rotation to the
rotary section of the motor via an integral ring gear J.
Exhaust fluid is discharged from C. When the control

valve, on the main valve block, is selected to opposite
position, C becomes inlet port, B becomes outlet and
rotation is reversed.
For low speed operation (if two speed option is fitted), the
2-speed control valve supplies fluid to all ports on the port
B side (or port C side), producing maximum torque.

larger cross-sectional area. The difference between F2
and F3 becomes larger when higher pressure is applied.
When the motor drive pressure exceeds the specified

value to change the speed from high to low mode, the total
force of F3 and F4 becomes larger than the total of F1 and

The hydraulic motor is an axial piston type, and changes

the hydraulic energy supplied from the pump to the rotary
motion required to drive the gearbox.
Through a hydraulic valve, the pressurized oil is supplied

to the valve plate 1. When the pressurized oil is supplied to
the A port, this pressurized oil pushes the piston 2 in the
cylinder barrel 3. This pushing force is changed to the
rotational power by the swash plate 4 and transmitted to
the shaft 5 which is connected to the gear section. The
return flow from the cylinder port is going out through the
B port of the valve plate 1. To reverse rotation, pressurized
oil is supplied to the B port and returning oil exits through
the A port.

General Description
Anti Cavitation Valve Section
T020230-2
Fig 69.
When the swing motor is decelerated by operating the

control valve, it continues to be moved by the inertia of the
machine. Then, it works as pump, and the pressure of
chamber C tends to become negative. However, when B
port pressure is below cracking pressure of the relief valve,
all flow in A port goes out from B port through the motor.
Therefore, if chamber C can get flow only from the control
valve, the flow will not be enough to prevent the negative
pressure; as a result, cavitation could occur. The anti-
cavitation valve 12 works to supply the flow from T port to
chamber C, and thus prevents cavitation.
