For this reason designers cannot

achieve fine filtration of the oil

entering the pump and must be sat-

isfied with very course strainers.

Later in this discussion, we will

explain how the drillmaster main

blem by "SUPERCHARGING" the inlet.

To protect the circuit from overpressure,

The actuator must be selected for the

load demand and be compatable with the

pump performance. The system pressure

results from whatever resistance is

To understand hydraulic cylinders,

in general, and the drillmaster feed

to know the relationship between hy-

draulic pressure in pounds per square

If the hydraulic pressure is measured

with a gauge in pounds per square inch

(PSI) and the area of the piston is

calculated in square inches, we can de-

11 termine the resistance against the pis-

together.

As an example, consider a feed down

pressure gauge reading of 1000 PSI

on a drillmaster. We know that the

rection. Since there are two cylin-

39.2 SQ IN x IWO LB /SQ. IN OR 39200 LBS. ders, the total area is twice this

or 39.2 square inches.

The effective feed down force of the

rotary head would be 1/2 due to the

mechanical disadvantage of the feed

chain arrangement. This is evident

in that the feed cylinder piston rod

moves 1/2 the length of the tower when

the rotary head travels the full length.

DRILLMASTER FEED SYSTEM ARRANGEMENT

Friction and other losses will reduce

the force another 10% on the drillmaster

feed.
Ingersoll• Rand Company 1976

Page 6

In the previous example, when the di-

rectional valve is moved to retract

the cylinder piston rod, the rotary

head travels up the tower. In this

case, we must subtract the area of

the piston rod to calculate load.

The effective piston area is now

25 2 SQ IN x 1000 LB /SQ IN OR 25,200 LBS
12.6 square inches or 25.2 square

inches for both cylinders.

Again because of the mechanical dis-

advantage, the weight at the rotary

head would only be 11,340 lbs. By

this method it is possible to weigh

a string of drill rods using the

drillmaster feed system pressure

gauges.

In the previous examples, the cylinder

return line back pressure is considered

insignificant and can be ignored. How-

ever, if back pressure becomes excessive,

the previous examples would have to be

recalculated. Back pressure is usually

detrimental to any hydraulic circuit

because it reduces the work producing

The hydraulic circuit just discussed is a basic

reservoir, pump, valve, and actuator application.

It enables the drillmaster operator to raise and

An oil temperature gauge on the tank

indicates when to use the hydraulic

oil cooler. The cooler should not be

operated when the temperature of the

hydraulic oil is below 100°F. The

operator should start the cooler when

the oil temperature reaches approxi-

mately 140°F. Failure to use the

cooler at oil temperatures above 140°F

will result in a faster rate of oil

oxidation and necessitates a more fre-

times when the engine is running. Hy-

fan to cool the engine water and com-

There is no operator control for this

also used as a servo assist for vary-

to pilot the propel diverter valves

All other hydraulic motors and cylinders

are powered by a double pump mounted next

to the fan pump. The double pump is at-

The lock checks protect against a sudden

loss of oil out of the cylinders which

would upset the drill. It is important

when lowering the drill that the engine

speed be held at a maximum. This provides

as much oil as possible from the pump to

the cylinders to prevent chattering.

The lock check valves are attached to the

The drill should be lowered slowly and no more

Chattering occurs because the weight of the

machine forces the cylinder closed faster than

oil can be supplied from the pump to the op-

posite side of the piston. If this happens the

lock check valve will start to chatter and pre-

mature failure will result.
