Rotation and Dust collector side propel closed loop circuits.
The PV235 hydraulic circuit is basically divided into four individual circuits. Two main circuits and two auxiliary
circuits
A closed loop circuit which provides oil flow for the functions of the Rotation Circuit and the Dust Collector
Side (DCS) Propel Circuit.
A main open loop circuit which provides oil flow for the Feed Circuit and Cab Side (CS) Propel Circuit.
Two open loop circuits which provides flow for the Auxiliary and the fan/cooling circuits.
These will be described separately.
Power is delivered by a diesel engine through a pump drive gearbox with a .723:1 speed up ratio.
Rotation Circuit and Dust Collector Side undercarriage is driven by a Denison P7P (7.25cu/in per rev @ max
stroke) variable displacement pump driven at 2500 RPM delivering 78 GPM and is set at max of 4500
PSI.
Option 1
Rotation motor is a Direct Drive 2 Speed dual vane motor producing a variable speed of 0 to 100 RPM in low
speed or 0 to 200 RPM in high speed with manual speed selection.
Torque at 100 RPM is 8500 ft/lbs (11524 Nm) and at 200 RPM is 4250 ft/lbs (5762 Nm).
Option 2
The 4SV-2-10 rotary head with variable speed 190 @ min displacement and 110 @ max displacement.
Torque is 8200 ft/lbs (11117 Nm) powered with one fixed displacement motor and one variable displacement
motor.

Poppet Valves used in the Speed Selector Manifold and Diverter Manifold
Areas A1 and A2 act in the direction of opening. Area A3 and the spring act in the direction of closing. The
effective direction of the force resulting from the opening and closing forces determines the spool position of
the 2-way cartridge valve. The medium can flow through the 2-way cartridge valves from A to B or from B to A.
When area A3 is pressurized due to the pilot oil flow from channel B or external pilot oil supply, channel A is
leak-free closed.
Poppet valve used in our application are 2:1 ratio.

Propel Circuit Control
Undercarriage is a Cat or Intertractor and is driven by a Rexroth variable displacement 2 speed bent axis piston
motor with a final drive planetary.
Displacement variable in the sense that selection is either min displacement for high speed/low torque
or max displacement for low speed and high torque.
High torque drawbar pull is 91,000 lbs and max speed of 1.3 MPH.
Low torque drawbar pull is 49,000 lbs and a max speed is 2.42 MPH.
A multi axis multi function lever in the lower left hand console of the pod sends
the input for the propel function of the “Non Cab Side” (NCS) propel motor.
Note this joy stick also controls' the level cylinder functions.
The joystick incorporates a “Dead man trigger” when released will stop all propel
motion and applies the brakes.
When propel is selected with trigger pressed and the joystick is moved away
from the operator, in the “Y” plane the drill will propel toward the “NON DRILL
END” (NDE) and when pulled back toward the operator in the same plane the
drill will propel toward the “DRILL END” (DE).
When the joystick is moved to the left on the “X” plane the drill will counter rotate
to the “DUST COLLECTOR SIDE” (DCS) and will counter rotate to the “CAB
SIDE” (CS) when moved to the right side.
When propelling and the joystick is moved forward to the 10 o clock or 2 o clock
position the direct the drill in that direction.
Pulling the joystick in the opposite direction and moving it to the 4 or 5 o clock Y
position, will direct the drill in that direction.

CS Open Loop Feed and Propel Circuit
The “CABSIDE” propel and the feed system are open loop
circuits.
Flow is provided by a Parker P3 load sensing pump through the
pump distribution manifold port 111 to the Parker load-
sensing, pressure-compensated proportional directional control
valve.
It has simultaneous-operating characteristics that enable several
machine functions to be operated responsively at the same time,
regardless of the sizes of individual loads.
The flow rate per spool section is up to 78gpm (225 ltr/min)
Copied load signal - The system permits oil consumption in the
load signal line to the pump, without the signal level being

Pressure compensation - Pressure compensated spools for
lifting and lowering movements. Separate compensator for
each spool section for excellent pressure compensation.
Feed pressure limiters - Individually adjustable between 30
and 4500 psi (300 bar) for each service port. Reduction can
also be controlled remotely.

Open Loop Feed and Propel Circuit
Oil flow for the feed and cable tensioning circuit is
controlled by valve spool one of the parker valve.
Feed (extend) flow is directed via A port of directional
control valve to port 140 of the regeneration valve over
the counter balance valve to the feed cylinder and return
oil flow is channeled back through the Parker directional
control valve, return manifold, HOC inlet manifold then
through the 3 micron filters to the hydraulic tank.
Valve spool two supplies oil flow to the CS variable
displacement two speed propel motor.
Note this is either max or min displacement. It is not
infinitely variable.
Flow from the “B” port of the Parker valve is directed to
the Forward port, through the tram counter balance valve
to the motor.
Pilot pressure from the high pressure side shifts the
3 position 3 way spool of the tram counter balance valve
to allow oil to return the directional control valve “A” port
and back to tank as described above.

Retract mode
In retract mode flow is directed from the B port of the directional control
valve to the rod end of the cylinder. Pilot pressure is also directed to the
pilot chambers of the Vent Valve and Extend CBV.
Vent valve
Note the REGEN CBV pilot chamber is pressurized to the closed position 5:1
to prevent oil being diverted to the return leg and subsequently loosing
retract pressure.
As there is a increased volume of oil from the piston side of the cylinder Extend CBV
2:1
when it is retracted and the directional control valve can only handle
78 GPM, the vent valve has been designed into the circuit to allow +/-
100 GPM of oil to be diverted to the return manifold via port 407 and the
remainder of the oil will flow through the A port of the directional control
valve and back to tank as previously described.
32
Cable Tension
33
Cable Tension
When flow is directed from port 817 to the rod side
of the feed cylinder to retract the rods, pressure is
sensed through line 160 to the reducing relieving
pilot spring chamber blocking any pressure being
generated from the rod side of the tensioning
cylinder.
When the operation is in neutral position, no flow to
either side of the feed cylinder will produce a
minimal load on the sensing line 160 and will reduce
any excess pressure that was generated.

Auxiliary Hydraulic Circuits.
Flow for the hydraulic auxiliary circuits are provided by a Parker P3 load sensed pressure compensated pump
which also supplies flow to the feed and CS propel circuits.
Flow is directed via ports 107 on the pump distribution manifold to the VPL Apitech Pulsar Load Sense Pre-
Comp Directional Control Valve and then to the various auxiliary functions.
Oil is also directed via port 108 on the pump distribution manifold to the Rexroth directional control valve.
Apitech Directional Control Valve.
Pressure compensation maintains a constant flow regardless of pump pressure, load pressure, or any other
load in the system
No change in speed when running multiple sections
The load pressure can be limited without losing flow to a relief valve.
The load sense signal is passed through a damping orifice to the compensator spool
Section 1 & 3 Spools, DCS & CS Leveling jacks have flow of 7 GPM for the rod side and 20 GPM for the
piston side of the cylinder.
Section 2 spool, NDE Leveling jacks flow is set to a max of 14 GPM for the rod side and 30 GPM for the
piston side of the cylinder.
The leveling spools have a common limiting pressure relief set for 4000 PSI
Section 4 Spool, Winch flow is set for 10 GPM and a common limiting relief set for 2500 PSI
Section 5 Spool, Tower raise cylinders flow set for 13 GPM for the rod side and 20 GPM for the piston side of
the cylinder. Pressure setting to lower the tower is 3750 PSI and to raise is set at 3250 PSI.
Section 6 Spool, Water injection/dust collector flow is set 16 GPM both directions and pressure set for 3500
PSI
Section 7 Spool, Rod changer flow is set at 15 GPM and pressure set at 3000 PSI.

P3/145 Pump Controls
Load Sense Control
Load sense control will adjust output flow to maintain a constant pressure drop across an orifice.
The load sense comp will increase or decrease the output flow to maintain a constant delta across the load
orifice.
This means that regardless of load conditions the flow will remain constant for a given orifice opening
Pressure Compensator
The pressure compensator control will limit pump outlet pressure to a predetermined level and adjust
pump outlet flow to the level needed to maintain the set pressure.
