Service Manual LDU 20 Closed Circuit Axial Piston Transmission General Description Basic Design LDU20 is a U-style HST transmission, including a closed circuit variable displacement piston pump with DDC (Direct displacement control) and a fixed motor. LDU20 is specially designed with optimized performance, size, and cost, in order to fulfill the demand of the mobile applications marketplace.
Service Manual LDU 20 Closed Circuit Axial Piston Transmission Operation HPRV (High Pressure Relief Valve) LDU20 is equipped with a combination high pressure relief and charge check valve. The high-pressure relief function is a dissipative (with heat generation) pressure control valve for the purpose of limiting excessive system pressures.
Service Manual LDU 20 Closed Circuit Axial Piston Transmission Operation For example; an inoperable vehicle may need to be moved to the service or the repair location, or winched onto a trailer without operating the prime mover. Caution Excessive speed or extended movement will damage the transmission.
Service Manual LDU 20 Closed Circuit Axial Piston Transmission Operation Control Direct Displacement Control The LDU20 features Direct Displacement Control (DDC) .The swashplate angle is set directly by a control lever or linkage attached directly to the swashplate trunnion. Control lever movement changes the speed and rotating direction of the motor by increasing or decreasing the swashplate angle.
Service Manual LDU 20 Closed Circuit Axial Piston Transmission Operating Parameters Overview This section defines the operating parameters and limitations for LDU20 with regard to input speeds and pressures. For actual parameters, refer to Operating Parameters in the Technical Specifications section.
Service Manual LDU 20 Closed Circuit Axial Piston Transmission Operating Parameters Case Pressure Do not exceed rated case pressure under normal operating conditions. During cold start, keep case pressure below maximum intermittent case pressure. Size drain plumbing accordingly. Caution Possible component damage or leakage Operation with case pressure in excess of stated limits may damage seals, gaskets, and/or housings, causing external leakage.
