Power Shift

The document summarizes the power shift system of a 320D excavator. It describes how a proportional reducing valve uses a pulse width modulated signal from the ECM to regulate pilot pressure and control the maximum hydraulic pump output. It explains that increasing the PWM signal raises power shift pressure, causing the pumps to destroke during lower engine speeds. Conversely, a lower PWM signal reduces power shift pressure, allowing the pumps to upstroke during higher engine speeds.

The proportional reducing valve for the power shift pressure is located on the drive pump regulator. The
proportional reducing valve is a solenoid operated control valve. The proportional reducing valve receives supply
oil from the pilot pump. The solenoid receives a pulse width modulated signal (PWM signal) from the machine
ECM. The PWM signal that is sent from the machine ECM causes the proportional reducing valve to regulate
the pilot pressure to a reduced pressure. This reduced pressure is called power shift pressure (PS). The
proportional reducing valve sends the reduced pilot oil pressure to the regulators at the drive pump and the idler
pump. The output flow of the drive pump and the idler pump is controlled in accordance with the power shift

(8) Passage (pilot oil flow)

A decrease in engine speed causes an increase in power shift pressure and a decrease in pump flow.

While the engine is operating, the machine ECM senses a decrease in engine speed. A decrease in engine speed
causes the machine ECM to increase the PWM signal that is sent to solenoid (1) . The magnetic force of the
solenoid increases. As the magnetic force of the solenoid becomes greater than the force of spring (2) , spool (3)
moves in a downward direction against the force of the spring. The downward movement of spool (3) blocks the
flow of oil from passage (6) to passage (5) . Pilot oil in line (9) now flows through passage (8) , into spool
chamber (7) and into passage (6) at a reduced pressure (power shift pressure). The increased power shift
pressure in passage (6) acts on the drive pump regulator and the idler pump regulator. The drive pump and the
idler pump destroke as a result of an increase in power shift pressure.

An increase in engine speed causes a decrease in power shift pressure and an increase in pump flow.

While the engine is operating, the machine ECM senses an increase in engine speed. An increase in engine speed
causes the machine ECM to decrease the PWM signal that is sent to solenoid (1) . The magnetic force of the
solenoid decreases. As the force of spring (2) becomes greater than the magnetic force of the solenoid, spool (3)
moves in an upward direction. The upward movement of spool (3) blocks the flow of pilot oil from passage (8) .
Power shift pressure oil in passage (6) now drains into spool chamber (7) and into passage (5) . The decreased
power shift pressure in passage (6) that is acting on the drive pump regulator and the idler pump regulator causes
the drive pump and the idler pump to move to an upstroke position. The drive pump and the idler pump upstroke
as a result of a decrease in power shift pressure.
