Functional description

The RTM traction module is a flow divider for controlling Note

hydraulic motors ensuring synchronous and free-wheel The necessary actuation pressure at X is the high pres-
operation. It can be used for 2-, 3- and 4-wheel drives sure present in the hydraulic circuit of the RTM. Switching
(multiple drives available upon request). It can be operated is by means of an external directional valve
in open and closed circuits (order separately).
▶▶ X pressure-less→ free-wheel, divider deactivated
Design ▶▶ X pressurized→ synchronism, divider activated
The RTM basically comprises of a housing (1) metering ▶▶ A flushing valve is to be provided between the pump
orifice (2), the proportional valve (3), free-wheel function and RTM.
(4) and pressure compensator (5). (No flushing valve between engines and RTM!)
In the housing (1) the sleeve is radially fixed into position External directional valve: see data sheet 18136-21
(2.1) with the fixed orifice (3.2) thought it can be moved flushing valve: see data sheet 95512)
about its axes. According to the selected division/
summation ratio, metering orifices are integrated in the
sleeve- these are used to divide the output flows into Ports

channels A, B, C and D. To compensate for differences in P Pump

load pressure across the different consumer ports, A, B, C, D Consumer

pressure compensators (5.2) have been integrated. S Boost pressure

The main flow moves the main spool(2.2) against the pre- X Free-wheel

tensioned springs (2.3). So, depending on the size of the

flow, this alters the cross section of the metering orifice
and the hydraulic fluid passes through the holes (5.1) to
the pressure compensator spool (5.2) and then on to
channels A, B, C and D. When needing to increase the
division accuracy, the pressure in the spring chamber (2.4)
must be increased by actuating the valve electrically (3.1)
so that the pressure compensator spool (5.2) begins
controlling earlier, increasing the traction accuracy of the
vehicle. The division accuracy can also or alternatively be
adjusted by replacing the nozzle (3.2).
To automatically switch from the division to the summation
function, the directional valve (5.3) changes from the right
to the left stop.
With optional activation (4.2), the differential lock is
activated when there is a high pressure (external
3/2 directional valve not included in scope of delivery) at
port X. Without the activation function, the threaded plug
(4.1) is used without port X.
