Understanding Excavator Hydraulic Pumps | Kyotechs
Introduction
Excavators are the workhorses on construction sites, playing a crucial role in executing heavy-duty tasks. At the heart of an excavator's operation is its hydraulic system, particularly the hydraulic pump. This system is essential for transmitting hydraulic fluid to various components, enabling the excavator to perform movements with precision and power.
Kyotechs, founded in 2009, specializes in offering a comprehensive range of excavator parts. Our extensive catalog includes engine assemblies, hydraulic pumps, control valves, and much more. With a focus on quality and reliability, we serve brands like Hitachi, Sany, Kawasaki, and many other industry leaders. Let's delve into the mechanics of how an excavator hydraulic pump works, and why it's indispensable to this heavy machinery.
How Does an Excavator Hydraulic Pump Work?
Components of an Excavator Hydraulic Pump
Understanding how an excavator hydraulic pump works necessitates a familiarity with its key components:
1. Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir: Stores the hydraulic fluid required for the system's operation.
2. Hydraulic Hose and Fittings: Connects various components and facilitates the movement of oil.
3. Hydraulic Cylinder: Converts hydraulic pressure into linear motion.
4. Hydraulic Motor: Transforms hydraulic fluid energy into mechanical energy.
5. Control Valves: Directs the flow of hydraulic fluid across the system.
The Working Process
The operation of an excavator hydraulic pump can be broken down into several steps:
1. Fluid Circulation: The hydraulic fluid is drawn from the reservoir into the pump.
2. Pressurization: The hydraulic pump, generally a piston or gear-type pump, pressurizes the fluid. This increases the fluid's energy, making it capable of performing work.
3. Fluid Distribution: The pressurized fluid travels through hydraulic hoses towards control valves, which determine the direction and destination of the fluid flow.
4. Actuation and Motion: When the pressurized fluid reaches the hydraulic cylinder or motor, it causes parts of the excavator to move. For instance, it may extend the boom, rotate the cab, or enable the shovel to lift loads.
5. Return to Reservoir: After the work is performed, the hydraulic fluid returns to the reservoir for reuse.
Types of Hydraulic Pumps in Excavators
There are various types of hydraulic pumps used in excavators, each suited to specific needs:
- Gear Pumps: Known for simplicity and durability.
- Piston Pumps: Offers high efficiency and pressure capacity.
- Vane Pumps: Provides consistent flow rates, ideal for certain applications.
Each type has its perks, and the choice depends on the specific operational requirements of the excavator.
Advantages of Hydraulic Pumps
Understanding how these systems work brings to light their advantages:
- Efficiency: Hydraulic systems allow for quick and precise movement control.
- Power: Capable of handling heavy loads with ease.
- Flexibility: Perfect for a variety of attachments and modifications.
- Durability: Designed to withstand harsh working environments.
FAQs About Excavator Hydraulic Pumps
What is the lifespan of an excavator hydraulic pump?
The lifespan varies significantly based on usage, maintenance, and working conditions. Regular maintenance can extend the life to over 10,000 hours.
How can I maintain my excavator's hydraulic pump?
Routine maintenance includes checking fluid levels, inspecting hoses and seals, and monitoring pump operation for any inefficiencies or noises.
What happens if the hydraulic pump fails?
A failing pump can affect the entire hydraulic system, leading to reduced performance or complete operational failure. Immediate inspection and repair are advised.
Why are hydraulic systems preferred in excavators?
Hydraulic systems provide unmatched power, control, and versatility, making them ideal for the demanding tasks executed by excavators.
How often should I replace hydraulic fluid?
It's recommended to replace hydraulic fluid every 2000-4000 hours of operation, but always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines.

FAQS
How to avoid the derailment (chaining) of the crawler chain of the excavator?
1. When walking on the construction site, please try to place the travel motor behind the walking to reduce the squeezing of the sprocket.
2. The continuous walking time of the machine cannot exceed 2 hours. The walking time on the construction site should be minimized. If necessary, it is recommended to walk after a short stop in the middle.
3. Avoid raised hard objects when walking to avoid stress concentration on the track chain.
4. Confirm the tightness of the crawler, adjust the crawler tighter in soft places such as soil, and adjust the crawler looser when walking on stones. It is not good to have a crawler that is too loose or too tight. Too loose will cause the crawler to derail easily, and too tight will cause the chain sleeve to wear too quickly.
5. Check whether there are foreign objects such as stones in the crawler frequently, and clean them if there are.
6. When working on a muddy construction site, it is necessary to frequently idle to discharge the soil deposited in the crawler.
7. Try to avoid the excavator turning in circles on the spot.
8. Regularly check the rail guard and the rail guard welded under the guide wheel.
Why is it difficult to start an excavator in winter?
1.The climate is cold in winter, the ambient temperature is low, the viscosity of the engine oil increases, and the friction resistance of each moving part increases, which reduces the starting speed and makes it difficult to start.
2.The battery capacity decreases as the temperature drops, which further reduces the starting speed.
3.Due to the reduction in starting speed, the leakage of compressed air increases, and the heat dissipation of the cylinder wall increases, which greatly reduces the temperature and pressure of the air at the end of compression, and increases the delay period of diesel ignition. In severe cases, it may even fail to burn.
4.The viscosity of diesel at low temperatures increases, which reduces the injection speed. In addition, the swirl speed, temperature and pressure of the air at the end of compression are relatively low, which makes the atomization quality of the diesel injected into the cylinder poor, making it difficult to quickly form a good combustible gas with the air and ignite and burn in time, or even fail to ignite, resulting in difficulty in starting.
What to do if the boom and arm movements are slow?
Check the hydraulic system pressure, inspect control valves and hydraulic cylinders for leaks or wear, clean or replace hydraulic filters, and replace hydraulic oil if necessary.
How to vent the hydraulic pump after installation?
The way to vent after installation is to slowly operate all functions of the hydraulic system until the air is exhausted, and check and maintain the hydraulic oil level during this process.
What causes air to enter the hydraulic oil?
Possible loose connections, pipe cracks, or low oil level. Solution: Tighten connections, replace damaged pipes, maintain proper oil level.
