2.1. Construction
The components of the K3V pump can be divided into three sub-groupings: -
7 OF 39 June 2004
This is composed of the swash plate (212), shoe plate (211), swash plate support
(251), tilting bush (214), tilting pin (531) and the servo piston (532). The swash
plate on the reverse side to the shoe location is of a cylindrical form which is
“pillow” supported by the hydrostatic bearing provided by the swash plate support.
The tilting bush is inserted into the swash plate and into this is installed the
spherical portion of the tilting pin which in turn is coupled to the servo piston itself.
Any linear movement of the servo piston produced by regulator pressure applied to
either of its ends is thereby translated through the tilting pin into an angular
movement of the swash plate which thereby varies the tilting or swash angle of the
pump. Screw adjusters and lock nuts are available to adjust the factory set
maximum (954) and minimum (953) tilting angle conditions.
This is composed of the valve cover (312), valve plate (313) and valve plate pin
(885). The valve plate with its two “melon” shaped ports is installed onto the valve
plate being located by the valve plate pin. These two ports serve to supply and
exhaust oil to and from the cylinder block. The oil passage switched by the valve
plate is connected to the externally piped suction and outlet pressure ports through
the valve cover.
When the pump’s drive shaft is driven by a prime mover, the cylinder block being
spline coupled to the shaft will also rotate. If the swash plate has been tilted, the
pistons arranged in the cylinder block due to the shoe being retained on the swash
plate surface will both rotate with the cylinder block and reciprocate once per
revolution. Paying attention to one such piston then it will move away from the
valve plate for half a rotation (suction stroke) and move towards the valve plate for
the second half of rotation (oil delivery stroke). The larger the tilt angle is the longer
the piston stroke and thereby the higher is the pump’s displacement. If the swash
plate tilting angle however is zero then the piston makes no stroke and thereby
delivers no oil.
In the case of the K3V63DT tandem pump this has the construction whereby two
pumps complete with their individual regulators are connected together by a
coupling (114) within the central valve block (312) and that the drive shaft on the
front pump (111) is connected to the prime mover. The oil suction port is common
to both the rear and front pumps. The two pumps however are each provided with
independent delivery ports.

The KR3 series regulators have been designed to give varied controlled options for the
K3V series of axial piston pumps ideally suited to their application to excavator type
systems.

The operation of the regulator utilises a follower-type lever linkage system (611)
connected between the pump’s servo piston (532), the main control spool (652) and the
regulator body (613) itself. This lever arrangement is activated by a series of pilot pistons
(621 & 643) together with their associated control springs (625, 626 & 646) from which the
relevant regulator control characteristic is obtained. The use of such a feed back lever
arrangement from the servo piston ensures a highly responsive and accurate control
system.
The servo piston (532) is connected through the pivot point (531) to the swash plate of the
pump. Movement of the servo piston (532) to the left increases pump displacement and to
the right reduces it.
The servo piston (532) itself has an area ratio of 4:1 whereby the smaller piston area to
the right is continuously connected to the pump’s outlet pressure. The larger diameter
area of the servo piston to the left is fed from the main regulator spool (652), which as it
pressurises this servo piston area progressively reduces the pump displacement.

The various lever and linkage arrangements within the regulator assembly are illustrated
above. The main feedback lever is shown in the centre where the servo pivot (531)
couples it to the servo piston. The spool pivot (874) couples the lever directly to the main
control spool. Additionally the feedback pivot (897) couples this feedback lever to both the
displacement lever (to the right) and to the power lever (to the left). The displacement
lever is anchored to the regulator body by the fixed pivot pin (875) whereas the power
lever is anchored in a similar manner by the fixed pivot (875A).
In order, to better understand the functioning of this assembly, the regulator itself will now
be split into two separate halves. Firstly viewing the Power or Torque Summation Control
(to the left) and then later that of the Negative Displacement control (to the right)

The above sections specifically show the Torque Summation Control with their necessary
feedback mechanisms. These figures should be studied such that a general familiarisation
of the mechanism is built up. The following description will help in this understanding.
Pump outlet pressure is fed into the larger stepped diameter area of the Power control
piston (621). Pressure feedback from the second pump unit is in addition fed into the
smaller stepped diameter area. These two stepped areas are equal.
The consequence of which is that both pumps destroke together to the same
displacement condition. The force so produced is balanced by the spring preload created
by the inner (626) and outer (625) power springs. At low pump feedback pressures only
the outer spring (625) is active and as combined pumps pressure force on the piston (621)
increases then the inner spring (624) also becomes active. Consequently a change in
spring rate changes at some point which provides the characteristic curve.
Movement of the piston (621) under the action of these pump(s) pressure forces is
transmitted by the power push rod (623) against the springs (624 & 625). This movement
shifts the power control lever (612) on its fixed pivot (875A) towards the right of the
diagram. This movement is transmitted from the power control lever (612) via the feed
back pivot (897) to the feedback lever (611), which rotates “clockwise" slightly around the
servo pivot (531). As the feed back lever (611) is also connected to the main spool (652)
via (874) this causes the main spool to port pressurised oil to the larger diameter area of
the pump’s servo piston, which in turn begins to destroke the pump. This action results in
the main feedback lever (611) to shift in an anti-clockwise direction. A state of equilibrium
will eventually exist whereby the servo piston position and thereby pump displacement is
so maintained that the main control spool is back in a central metering condition. In this
condition the pressure fed to the servo pistons larger diameter will maintain equilibrium.

Pressure P1 is connected to the delivery port of the front pump section, whereas P2 is
connected to the rear pump delivery port.
For this explanation we will consider P1 & P2 as being connected together at the same
pressure. (I.e. Both pumps loaded at the same delivery pressures.)
The diagram above illustrates the balanced condition whereby the Power Piston force is
balanced against the Power Spring Pack force, the Main Spool metering position is in a
null position and is porting enough fluid to the Large Servo Piston to maintain a force
balance across the servo piston.
At this condition the Large Servo Piston pressure is approximately ¼ of the pumps
delivery pressure. The Feed Back Lever is keeping a check on the position of the Swash
Plate, which in turn moves the Main Spool to correct any error. The various positions of
levers & pistons should be noted.

As the delivery pressure increases at P1 & P2 the Power Piston compresses the Power
Spring Pack, the linear movement of the Power Push Rod causes the Power Lever to
pivot around Fixed Pivot 1 towards the right.
This movement is transmitted from the Power Lever to the Feed Back Lever via the Feed
Back Pivot.
The Feed Back Lever now rotates “clockwise” around the Servo Pivot slightly and causes
the Main Spool to move to the right through the Spool Pivot point.
The enlarged view of the Main Spool metering now shows delivery pressure being ported
to the Large Servo Piston (i.e. Pd to PCL.)

This develops on the previous figure whereby this time the Servo Piston has now moved
further to the right and closer towards minimum displacement.
As can be seen the various lever angles have changed from the previous figure.
As the Servo Piston has moved to the right the Feed Back Lever has now rotated about
the Feed Back Pivot, causing the Main Spool to move back to the null position to the left
of its previous position.
Once again the Main Spool is porting enough fluid to maintain the pressure balance
across the Servo Piston and hence the new Swash Plate position.

This figure details a fall in delivery pressure, this time the Power Spring Pack releases and
moves the Power Push Rod to the left of its previous position as the Power Piston force
has now reduced due to the reduction in delivery pressure.
Again the movement of the Power Lever is transmitted via the Feed Back Pivot and the
Main spool’s compression spring, eliminates backlash by pulling the Main Spool to the left
which thereby meters the Large Servo Piston pressure to tank pressure. As the small side
of the Servo Piston is connected to the pump delivery pressure the Servo Piston moves to
the left such that the displacement of the pump increases towards maximum.
When the Servo Piston has reached its position the Feed Back Lever causes the Main
Spool to control once more at the null position and steady state control is once again
achieved.

The above sections specifically show the Negative Displacement Control with its
necessary feedback mechanisms. These figures should be studied such that a general
familiarisation of the mechanism is built up. The following description will help in this
understanding.
The Negative control pressure signal acts onto the left end of the displacement piston and
push rod (643). The force so produced is balanced by the spring preload created by the
displacement pilot spring (646).
Any imbalance in this force creates a movement of the displacement control lever (613)
on its fixed pivot (875). A movement of the piston to the right is transmitted from the
displacement control lever (613) via the feed back pivot (897) to the feedback lever (611),
which rotates “clockwise” slightly around the servo pivot (531). As the feed back lever
(611) is also connected to the main spool (652) via (874) this causes the main spool to
meter pressurised fluid to the larger diameter area of the pump’s servo piston, which in
turn begins to destroke the pump. This action results in the main feedback lever (611) to
shift in an anti-clockwise direction. A state of equilibrium will eventually exist whereby the
servo piston position and thereby pump displacement is so maintained that the main
control spool is back in a central metering condition. In this condition the pressure fed to
the servo pistons larger diameter will maintain equilibrium.

As the negative pressure control signal (Pi) increases the Displacement piston
