HD.G pressure control, remote controlled

The remote controlled pressure control continuously
regulates the motor to maximum displacement when the
pressure command value is reached Vg max. A pressure
relief valve (not included in the scope of delivery),
which is arranged separately from the motor and
connected to port X3, controls the internal pressure cut-off
valve. As long as the pressure command value is not
reached, the valve is evenly pressurized from both sides in
addition to the spring force and is closed. The pressure
command value is between 1150 psi (80 bar) and 5100 psi
(350 bar). When the pressure command value at the
separate pressure relief valve is reached, it opens,
reducing the pressure on the spring side towards the
reservoir. The internal control valve switches and the
motor swivels to maximum displacement Vg max.
The differential pressure at the control valve is set as
standard to 365 psi (25 bar). A separate pressure relief
valve is recommended: DBD 6 (hydraulic) as per data
sheet 25402. The maximum line length should not exceed
6 ft (2 m).

EP.G pressure control, remote controlled

The remote controlled pressure control continuously
regulates the motor to maximum displacement when the
pressure command value is reached Vg max. A pressure
relief valve (not included in the scope of delivery),
which is arranged separately from the motor and
connected to port X3, controls the internal pressure cut-off
valve. As long as the pressure command value is not
reached, the valve is evenly pressurized from both sides in
addition to the spring force and is closed. The pressure
command value is between 1145psi (80 bar) and 5100 psi
(350 bar). When the pressure command value at the
separate pressure relief valve is reached, it opens,
reducing the pressure on the spring side towards the
reservoir. The internal control valve switches and the
motor swivels to maximum displacement Vg max.
▶ The differential pressure at the control valve is set as
standard to 365 psi (25 bar).
A separate pressure relief valve is recommended: DBD 6
(hydraulic) as per data sheet 25402. The maximum line

In an open and closed circuit, it is used for flushing the R902290110 0.079 (2.0) 2.6 (10)

Hydraulic fluid is directed from the respective low-

the reservoir, together with the leakage. In the closed EP, EZ,
circuit, the removed hydraulic fluid must be replaced by

cooled hydraulic fluid supplied by the boost pump.
The valve is mounted on the port plate.

To prevent the transmission of structure-borne noise, use
elastic elements to decouple all connecting lines from all
vibration-capable components (e.g., reservoir, frame
parts).
Under all operating conditions, the drain line must flow
into the reservoir below the minimum fluid level.
Notice
In certain installation positions, an influence on the
adjustment or control can be expected. Gravity,
dead weight and case pressure can cause minor
characteristic shifts and changes in actuating time.

Notice
To prevent the axial piston unit from draining, a height
difference hES min of at least 0.98 inch (25 mm) to the

Alternatively, a check valve (cracking pressure 7.5 psi
(0.5 bar)) can be installed in the drain line to prevent
the housing area from emptying.

▶ Depending on the type of control used,
electromagnetic effects can be produced when using
solenoids. When a direct current is applied, solenoids
do not cause electromagnetic interference nor is their
operation impaired by electromagnetic interference.
Other behavior can result when a modulated direct
current (e.g. PWM signal) is applied. Appropriate
testing and measures should be taken by the machine
manufacturer to ensure other components or operators
(e.g. with pacemaker) are not affected by this potential.

Safety instructions
Safety instructions
▶ During and shortly after operation, there is a risk of

burns on the axial piston unit and especially on the
solenoids. Take the appropriate safety measures
(e.g. by wearing protective clothing).
▶ Moving parts in control equipment (e.g. valve spools)
can, under certain circumstances, get stuck in position
as a result of contamination (e.g. contaminated
hydraulic fluid, abrasion, or residual dirt from
components). As a result, the hydraulic fluid flow and
the build-up of torque in the axial piston unit can no
longer respond correctly to the operator’s
specifications. Even the use of various filter elements
(external or internal flow filtration) will not rule out
a fault but merely reduce the risk.
The machine/system manufacturer must test whether
remedial measures are needed on the machine for the
application concerned in order to bring the driven
consumer into a safe position (e.g. safe stop) and
ensure any measures are properly implemented.
▶ In certain conditions, moving parts in high-pressure
relief valves might get stuck in an undefined position
due to contamination (e.g. contaminated hydraulic
fluid). This can result in restriction or loss of
load-holding functions in lifting winches.
Therefore it is the machine and/or system
manufacturers responsibility to make sure that the
load can always be put in a safe mode if needed.
Also, he needs to ensure that these measures are
properly implemented.
▶ When using the axial piston motor in winch drives,
make certain that the technical limit values are not
exceeded under all operating conditions.
If the axial piston motor is extremely overloaded
(e.g. if the maximum permissible rotational speeds are
exceeded during weighing of the anchor while the ship
is in motion), the rotary group may be damaged and,
in the worst case, the axial piston motor may burst.
The machine manufacturer/system manufacturer is to
undertake additional measures, up to and including
encapsulation.
