2 SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Safety instructions for boom maintenance

WARNING
IMPACT OR CRUSHING HAZARD!
Uncontrolled boom descent will cause death or severe injury.
Do not go beneath the boom unless it is supported. Do not work
under components that are supported only by hydraulics.
Make sure that the boom is supported correctly.

Additional support is required when changing the main components of the

boom, since the center of gravity of the boom shifts when boom parts are
removed.

WARNING! RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY!

When the feed transfer and the rock drill are in their most front
position, the boom may fall slowly.
To prevent unexpected movements during maintenance, support the
feed beam on to the stands or by the crane.

WARNING
IMPACT OR CRUSHING HAZARD!
Uncontrolled boom descent due to excessive pressure in the
cylinder or hoses will cause death or severe injury.
THIRD CHAMBER CYLINDERS ONLY: Do not plug in the third
chamber hose connector Y or the pump cylinder line (PUMP LINE) if
the cylinder is used. If plugged, the oil in the third chamber cylinder
cannot escape, generating excess pressure and risk of explosion of
the cylinder and hoses.

WARNING
IMPACT OR CRUSHING HAZARD!
Uncontrolled boom descent due to faulty seals or a damaged or
disconnected Y port hose will cause death or severe injury.
Malfunctioning of automatic parallelism can be an indication of faulty
cylinder seals. In models without automatic parallelism, possible
seal failure must be checked daily by testing the cylinder seals
according to the current instructions. The condition of the Y port
hydraulic hose and the tightening torque of the connector must be
checked daily.

SB20/SB20NV/SB40/SB40NV Booms

WARNING
IMPACT OR CRUSHING HAZARD!
Uncontrolled boom descent due to faulty boom operation will cause
death or severe injury.
The faulty operation of a boom function is an indication of a system
fault. In such an event, immediately stop all work with the rig in
question. Determine and properly repair the cause of the fault before
continuing work.

HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID HAZARD!

High-pressure fluid remaining in hydraulic lines could cause death or
severe injury.
Do not carry out maintenance or repair work on a pressurized
system.
Make sure that the system is not under static load before
disconnecting hydraulic hoses or valves.
Relieve pressure before opening fittings, plugs or hydraulic valve
cartridges.

Use a bleeder screw to relieve the pressure behind the valves or cartridges,
or wait until the rig is depressurized before removing the components.
Before starting any repair work, release the static load by running the boom
to rest against a suitable mechanical support or to its extreme position.

HYDRAULIC FLUID INJECTION HAZARD!

High-pressure hydraulic fluid sprays can penetrate the skin and
could cause death or severe injury.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard or wood. Do not try to
locate a leak by feeling with your hand.
Seek immediate medical attention if you are hit by a hydraulic fluid
spray.

BURN HAZARD!
Contact with the hot oil circulating in the hydraulic systems could
cause death or severe injury.
Let the oil cool down before starting any maintenance work.

RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!

Contamined oil is a major cause of premature component failure.
NOTICE Observe absolute cleanliness when disassembling and assembling
hydraulic devices.

Whenever a cylinder has been removed, the hydraulic circuit must be bled
and flushed according to instructions. This helps to avoid operating
disturbances caused by dirt and air in the cylinders.

SB20/SB20NV/SB40/SB40NV Booms

Before adding or changing the oil, the exterior of the tank must be
thoroughly cleaned to prevent dirt and foreign matter from entering the
system.

Important service advices:

• Stop the power pack and diesel engine before repairing a leaking hose
or tightening a connector.
• Oil sprays can also easily cause a fire.
• Prevent oil splashes by wrapping a cloth around the component.
• Avoid skin contact with oil.
• Ensure that the new hose connectors and hose types correspond to the
types originally used by the manufacturer and are the same length.
When replacing hoses and connectors, use only original Sandvik parts
or equivalent parts approved by Sandvik (see the parts manual for
additional information). Also ensure that the hoses and connectors are
rated for the pressure level they will be subjected to.
• Ensure that all the connections will be made according to the hydraulic
diagram.
• Check the movements of the rig before use.

4 SB BOOM OPERATION
4.1 Testing the operation of the plunger valve SB40 / SB40NV
1. Run the boom parallel with the rig in the horizontal position.

2. Run the lift cylinder upward and simultaneously push the plunger valve’s
plunger at the point indicated by the arrow.
Use about a two-meter length of sturdy pipe (or similar) to push the
plunger in.
The boom should swung in the same direction in which the plunger is
pushed.
3. Run the lift cylinder downwards and simultaneously push the plunger
valve’s plunger at the point indicated by the arrow.
The boom should swung in the same direction in which the plunger is
pushed.
4. Repeat the procedure with the plunger valve on the other side.
5. Swing the boom to the right and simultaneously push the plunger on the
right-hand side.
The boom should move to the left.
6. Swing the boom to the left and simultaneously push the plunger on the
left-hand side.
The boom should move to the right.

4.2 Hydraulic functions of the boom movements

4.2.1 Boom lift and lower function SB20, SB20NV
Boom lift function
When the boom is lifted, oil flows from the carrier control valve port (B1 /
B9) through the block (1) ports (G-G1) to the lift cylinder (2) port (A) and
further on to the lift cylinder (2) piston side.

SB20/SB20NV/SB40/SB40NV Booms

Oil also flows in the block (1) through the pressure reducing valve (.02) (S7)
and overcenter valve (.01) (X1) to the port (E1), and from there to the feed
forward tilt cylinder (6) port (A) and onward to the forward tilt cylinder (6)
piston side.
The block (1) contains a pressure reducing valve (.02) (S7) (100 bars)
which reduces the pressure entering the forward tilt cylinder (6) A-port so
that, for example, the forward tilt cylinder pressure reducing valve (6.02)
(350 bars) is prevented from opening when certain auxiliary devices are
used.
The return flow from the lift cylinder (2) piston rod side flows through the
overcenter valve (.02) onward via the lift cylinder (2) port (B) and then
through the block (1) ports (P1-P) to the carrier control valve port (A1/A9)
and onward to the hydraulic oil tank.
From the forward tilt cylinder (6) piston rod side, the oil flows through the
overcenter valve (.01) and onward to the block (1) port (F1) and then via
the pump cylinder line (PUMP LINE) through the block (1) port (Y) to the
boom lift cylinder (2) hydraulic connection (Y), and from there to the lift
cylinder third chamber. The distances traveled by the forward tilt cylinder
(6) and boom lift cylinder (2) are equal, thus acting as part of the automatic
parallelism system.
If the feed forward tilt cylinder (6) is in the end position during boom lifting,
the third chamber of the boom lift cylinder (2) receives replacement oil from
the hydraulic oil tank via the block (1) intake valve (.07).
Boom lower function
When the boom is lowered, oil flows from the carrier control valve port
(A1/A9) through the block (1) ports (P - P1) to the lift cylinder (2) port (B)
and onward to the lift cylinder (2) piston rod side.
When the boom is lowered, the capacity of the third chamber of the lift
cylinder (2) decreases and oil flows via the lift cylinder (2) port (Y), along
the PUMP LINE line, through the block (1) via the ports (Y-F1) and onward
via the forward tilt cylinder (6) port (B) to the forward tilt cylinder (6) piston
rod side causing the forward tilt cylinder to perform a retract stroke, thus
retracting it. In this case, the distances traveled by the forward tilt cylinder
and lift cylinder are equal, thus acting as part of the automatic parallelism
system.
The return flow from the forward tilt cylinder (6) piston side flows through
the overcenter valve (.03) via the forward tilt cylinder (6) port (A) to the
block (1) and port (E1), then through the overcenter valve (1.01) (X1) and
pressure reducing valve (1.02) (S7) and block (1) port (T), and on to the
hydraulic oil tank.
The return flow from the lift cylinder (2) piston side flows through the
overcenter valve (2.01) and lift cylinder (2) port (A) and further on through
the block (1) ports (G1-G) to the carrier control valve port (B1 / B9) and
onward to the hydraulic oil tank.

4.2.2 Boom lift and lower function SB40, SB40NV

Boom lift function

When the boom is lifted, oil flows from the carrier control valve line (B1/B9)
through the block (1) ports (A9-A) to the lift cylinder (2) port (A) and onward
to the lift cylinder (2) piston side.
Oil also flows through the block (1) pressure reducing valve (.02) (S6) and
port (G), continuing to the valve block (14) port (G), from where it flows
through the overcenter valve (14.01) (X1) and port (E1) onward to the feed
forward tilt cylinder port (A) and to the forward tilt cylinder (6) piston side.
The block (1) contains a pressure reducing valve (.02) (S6) (100 bars)
which reduces the pressure entering the forward tilt cylinder (6) A-port so
that, for example, the forward tilt cylinder (6) pressure reducing valve (.02)
(250 bars) do not open when certain auxiliary devices are used.
The return flow from the lift cylinder (2) piston rod side flows through the
overcenter valve (.02) onward via the lift cylinder (2) port (B) and through
the block (1) ports (B-B9) to the carrier control valve port (A1/A9) and
onward to the hydraulic oil tank.
From the forward tilt cylinder (6) piston rod side, oil flows through the
overcenter valve (.01) and onward to the block (14) port (F1) and then via
the pump cylinder line (PUMP LINE) through the block (14) port (H) to the
boom lift cylinder (2) hydraulic connection (Y) and from there to the lift
cylinder third chamber. The distances traveled by the forward tilt cylinder
(6) and boom lift cylinder (2) are equal, thus acting as part of the automatic
parallelism system.
If the feed forward tilt cylinder (6) is in the end position during boom lifting,
the third chamber of the boom lift cylinder (2) receives replacement oil from
the hydraulic oil tank via the block (14) intake valve (.07).

piston rod side causing the forward tilt cylinder to perform a retract stroke,
thus retracting it. In this case, the distances traveled by the forward tilt
cylinder (6) and lift cylinder (2) are equal, thus acting as part of the
automatic parallelism system.
The return flow from the forward tilt cylinder (6) piston side flows through
the overcenter valve (.03) via the forward tilt cylinder (6) port (A) to the
block (14) and port (E1), then through the overcenter valves (.01) (X1
and .02) (S7), and block (14) port (T1), continuing through the block (1)
ports (T2-T4) and onward to the hydraulic oil tank.
The return flow from the lift cylinder (2) piston side flows through the
overcenter valve (2.01) and lift cylinder (2) port (A), through the block (1)
ports (A-A9) to the carrier control valve port (B1/B9), and onward to the
hydraulic oil tank.

4.2.3 Operation of the boom lift and swing cylinder: SB20, SB20NV, SB40, and SB40NV
(pump cylinder line)
The boom lift and swing cylinders are third chamber cylinders. Besides
chambers A and B, the cylinders have a third chamber built inside the
hollow piston rod. For example, as the lift cylinder length increases, the
third chamber capacity increases, and the cylinder takes oil from the
forward tilt cylinder. When the boom swing cylinder length increases, the
capacity of the swing cylinder third chamber increases, and the cylinder
takes oil from the feed swing cylinder, thus acting as a key part of the
automatic parallelism system. Correspondingly, as the lift cylinder third
chamber capacity decreases, oil flows over to the forward tilt cylinder.
Similarly, as the boom swing cylinder third chamber diminishes, oil flows
over to the feed swing cylinder.
Note! Never plug third chamber hose connector Y or the pump cylinder line
(PUMP LINE) if the cylinder is used. If plugged, the oil in the third
chamber cylinder cannot escape, generating excess pressure and risk
of explosion of the cylinder and hoses.

Note! When the cylinder has to be repaired or the hydraulic oil inside needs
to be changed, ensure that no air is left in the cylinder liner when it is
filled with hydraulic oil (compression ignition hazard). The correct
way to fill the cylinder is as follows:
1. Place the cylinder in a standing position with the cylinder rod directly
upwards.
2. Remove the plug (C1).
3. Open the restrictor (C).
4. Connect the hydraulic oil filling hose to the fitting (Y).
5. Slowly fill the cylinder liner with hydraulic oil until oil comes out of the
restrictor (C).
6. Close the restrictor (C).

4.2.5 Boom swing function SB20, SB20NV
When the boom is swung, oil flows in from the carrier control valve port
(A5 / B8) via the block (1) port (R) and out from the port (R1), continuing to
the boom swing cylinder (4) port (A) and onward to the boom swing cylinder
(4) piston side.
The return flow from the boom swing cylinder (4) piston rod side flows
through the overcenter valve (.02) from the boom swing cylinder (4) port (B)
to the block (1) port (L1), and then out from the block port (L) to the carrier
control valve port (B5 / A8) and onward to the hydraulic oil tank.

Swing cylinder outward movement, automatic parallelism

The automatic parallelism of the “outward” movement of the boom swing
cylinder (4) operates as follows: oil flows from the carrier control valve port
(A5 / B8) via the block (1) ports (R-R1) to the boom swing cylinder (4) port
(A) and onward to the boom swing cylinder (4) piston side. Simultaneously
in the block (1), oil flows from the overcenter valve (.09) (X2) and the block
(1) port (C1) via the feed swing cylinder (5) port (A) to the swing cylinder (5)
piston side.
The return flow from the feed swing cylinder (5) piston rod side flows
through the overcenter valve (.01) via the feed swing cylinder (5) port (B)
and through the boom block (1) ports (D1 and B) via the pump cylinder line
(PUMP LINE) to the boom swing cylinder (4) port (Y), continuing onward to
the boom swing cylinder (4) third chamber, after which the distances
traveled by the feed swing cylinder (5) and boom swing cylinder (4) are
equal, thus acting as part of the automatic parallelism system.
If the feed forward tilt cylinder (5) is in the end position during boom swing,
the third chamber of the boom swing cylinder (4) receives replacement oil
from the hydraulic oil tank via the block (1) intake valve (.08).

Swing cylinder inward movement, automatic parallelism

The automatic parallelism of the “inward” movement of the boom swing
cylinder (4) operates as follows: oil flows from the carrier control valve port
(B5 / A8) through the block (1) ports (L-L1) to the boom swing cylinder (4)
port (B) and onward to the boom swing cylinder (4) piston rod side.
Simultaneously, the oil pressure opens the overcenter valve (.09) located in
the block (1).
The return flow from the boom swing cylinder (4) piston side flows through
the boom swing cylinder (4) overcenter valve (.01) via the swing cylinder (4)
port (A) onward to the block (1) via ports (R1, R), and then via the carrier
control valve port (A5/B8) to the hydraulic oil tank.
The capacity of the boom swing cylinder (4) third chamber cylinder
decreases when the cylinder is run inward, after which oil flows via the
boom swing cylinder (4) port (Y) to the block (1) port (B), continuing through
the block (1) port (D1) and onward from the feed swing cylinder (5) port (B)
to the feed swing cylinder (5) rod side.
The return flow from the feed swing cylinder (5) piston side flows through
the overcenter valve (.02) to the port (A), and from there into the boom
block (1) port (C1), continuing through the opened overcenter valve (1.09)
to join the return line coming from the boom swing cylinder piston side, then
continuing through the block (1) port (R) to the carrier control valve port
(A5 / B8) and onward to the hydraulic oil tank.

4.3 Boom hydraulic circuit

4.3.1 Flushing and bleeding the boom hydraulic circuit
Flushing and bleeding of the boom hydraulic circuit is done to help prevent
malfunctions caused by air in the cylinders or dirt in the hydraulic lines that
may have accumulated if the cylinders or hoses have been disconnected.
Note! The boom hydraulic circuit must always be flushed and the cylinders
bled when a cylinder or a hose has been disconnected. This
procedure is performed to ensure that the boom functions without
disturbances.
4.3.2 Lift circuit

Note! Before bleeding, ensure that the tank line hose is properly attached/
connected to the forward tilt and swing cylinder of the feed.

Flushing
1. With the boom fully in the down position, run the feed forward tilt cylinder
fully in. Keep the joystick in the “boom down” position for another 10
seconds.
2. Run the boom to the up position and keep the lift function on for another
10 seconds.
3. Run the boom to the down position (–30° or –24°) and repeat the
previous lift function at least two times.
4. With the boom fully in its down position, run the feed forward tilt cylinder
in.
• Stop the power pack.
• Connect an extra hydraulic hose from the one-way restrictor (C) to the
unpressurized side of the hydraulic oil tank.
• Start all power packs and open the one-way restrictor (C).

4.3.4 Bleeding the feed rotary actuator (torque motor)
For detailed instructions, see the “Bleeding the rotation mechanism”
section.
4.3.5 Bleeding the feed forward tilt and swing cylinders
These cylinders are partly connected to hydraulic circuits that are closed by
pump cylinders. When pump cylinders are used, bleeding must be carried
out according to the instructions given in the “Flushing and bleeding the
boom hydraulic circuit” section. The hydraulic circuit of the feed forward tilt
cylinder is connected to the boom lift hydraulic circuit, and the feed swing to
the boom swing hydraulic circuit.
4.3.6 Bleeding the other cylinders
Cylinders not mentioned above are flushed and bled by retracting and
extracting the cylinder three times and continuing the movement for 10
seconds at each end.
Note! Remember to replace the filters when the work is completed!

4.4 Extreme swing position control circuit SB40, SB40NV

Installed on the boom (right and left side) swing arm, there are 2 plunger
valves (12 and 13) that react when the boom’s swing angle exceeds the
allowed (device-specific) value, causing the hydraulic circuit connections to
cause the boom to swing backward. The plunger valves react whenever the
swing angle exceeds the allowed angle when the lift or swing function is
used or the two are used simultaneously. Due to the mechanical properties
of the boom, it swings simultaneously when lifted. The boom swing does

not exceed the allowed limit in the horizontal position, thus not affecting the
plunger valves.
Example: the boom is swung to the side opposite the swing cylinder until
the plunger valve (13) is activated.
Oil flows from the carrier control valve port (A5 / B8) to the block (1) port
(B8) and from there through the shuttle valves (.06) and (.04) to the block
(1) port (P3), continuing through the activated plunger valve (13) ports (P-
BR), and then diverging as a control pressure (the pressure level of which
is adjusted appropriately by an adjustable one-way restrictor valve) which
controls the pilot-controlled directional valve (1.05) spool position to allow
the swing cylinder (4) piston side pressure to be discharged into the
hydraulic oil tank (pressure is allowed to discharge freely into the hydraulic
oil tank as long as the plunger valve (13) is activated).
At the same time, the oil which has flowed through the plunger valve (13)
flows to the block (14) connection (I) and onward to the pressure-controlled
directional valve (14.09) (directional valve spool position changes),
continuing from the block (14) port (L1) to the swing cylinder (4) port (B)
and further on to the swing cylinder (4) piston rod side, at which point the
boom swings backward.
The return flow from the swing cylinder (4) piston side flows through the
overcenter valve (4.01) in connection with the swing cylinder, then out from
the port (A) to the block (14) port (R1) and through the pressure-controlled
directional valve (14.10) via the block (14) port (R) onward to the block (1)
port (R) and further on through the pilot-controlled directional valve (1.05) to
the port (T1), and from there to the hydraulic oil tank.
In order for the extreme position control circuit to work, the plunger valves
(12 and 13) always require hydraulic pressure on the P-line when lifting,
swinging or using both functions at the same time. The block (1) contains 3
shuttle valves (1.03, 1.04 and 1.06) which allow the pressure to enter the
plunger valve P-line. The swing control circuit works similarly when the
boom is swung to the other side.

4.5.3 Adjusting boom circuit max. pressure

The boom circuit max. pressure relief valve is located in the intermediate
block (Cf. Fig.). Its pressure setting is 250 bar. The valve is provided for
removing all possible pressure peaks when using boom hydraulics. The
max. pressure relief valve at the boom valve is adjusted as follows:
1. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M10 of the drilling
control block.
2. Loosen the adjusting screw locking nut of the boom valve max.
pressure relief valve.
3. Tighten the adjusting screw of the boom max. pressure relief valve
almost to its end (over 250 bar).
4. Start the powerpack.
5. Loosen the adjusting screw locking nut of the pressure reducing/
relieving valve (210) at the drilling control block.
6. Run the boom zoom inwards or outwards (whichever is safest) and hold
against the stopper to raise maximum pressure.
The direction of this movement must always be chosen so that no
danger is caused to the operator or the rig.
7. Adjust the boom circuit max. pressure to 250 bar with the pressure
reducing/relieving valve (210).
Read the pressure value in the gauge connected to the measuring point
M10.
8. Tighten the locking nut of the adjusting screw of the pressure reducing/
relieving valve (210).
9. Loosen the adjusting screw locking nut of the boom valve max.
pressure relief valve.
10. Run for instance, the zoom cylinder inwards.
11. Loosen the adjusting screw of the boom max. pressure relief valve until
adjusting begins to effect. Valve begins to fizz when restricting pressure.
Boom max. pressure relief valve begins to open exactly at 250 bar.
Read the pressure in the pressure gauge at the measuring point M10.
12. Lock the adjusting screw of the boom circuit max. pressure relief valve.
13. Run the boom control operating valve for zoom or feed transfer.
The directions of these two movements must always be chosen so that
no danger is caused to the operator or the rig.

14. Adjust the boom circuit max. pressure to 230 bar with the pressure
reducing/relieving valve (210).
Read the pressure value in the gauge connected to the measuring point
M10.
15. Tighten the locking nut of the adjusting screw of the pressure reducing/
relieving valve (210).
16. Stop the powerpack.
17. Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point M10.
4.5.4 Adjusting max. speed of boom movements

All boom valve spools are equipped with specific restrictors. These
restrictors can be used for individually adjusting the speed of each
movement. The adjustment of movement speeds should be done with the
hydraulic oil in normal drilling temperature (40-50 °C).
4.5.5 Boom movement not working
If a boom movement is not working, it is likely that the shuttle valve of the
load sensing line for the corresponding control block is sticking or the
functional unit is faulty. Check the condition of the shuttle valve as follows:
• Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M7 of the feed and
percussion control block.
• Start the powerpack.
• Move the control lever of the boom movement that is not working.

SB20/SB20NV/SB40/SB40NV Booms

• If the measuring point M7 does not receive pressure, it is likely that the
load sensing line shuttle valve of the movement is sticking.
- Stop the powerpack.
- Remove the boom valve at the top of the control panel.
- Disassemble the boom valve and check the shuttle valves of all
working blocks.
- Reassemble the boom valve after cleaning and inspecting it, and
mount it back.
• If the measuring point M7 receives pressure, it is likely that the functional
device of the boom is faulty.
4.5.6 Boom working pressure too low
If the boom working pressure is too low, adjust the pressure reducing/
reliefing valve (210) at the drilling control block, according to the chapter
"Adjusting boom circuit max. pressure" in the THC 561 instruction. If this
will not help, proceed as follows:
• Stop the powerpack.
• Clean and repair, or replace the pressure reducing/reliefing valve (210),
and adjust it as instructed in the THC 561 instruction.

4.6 Principle of operation of the rotation head

The left-hand tooth contact (G2) of the piston’s (3) outer surface with the
gear ring (6) converts the axial movement of the piston into a
counterclockwise rotary movement. The rotary movement is transferred via
the right-hand side gear contact (G1) onto the gear shaft (4) causing it to
rotate clockwise.

6 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

6.1 Boom SB20/SB20NV/SB40/SB40NV
WARNING! RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY!
When the feed is turned 90° degrees by using the feed swing cylinder
and when both feed and rock drill are moved onto their front position,
the rotary actuator may allow feed to descent slowly.
To prevent unexpected movements during maintenance, support the
feed beam on to the stands or by the crane.

6.1.1 Checking bearing bushings and axle pins

DANGER
IMPACT OR CRUSHING HAZARD!
Uncontrolled falling of the boom or its component will cause death
or severe injury.
Support the boom correctly. Additional support is required when
changing the main components of the boom.

In order to check the condition of the axle pin and bearing bushing or the
mounting ear, support the boom or its component to a position where the
weight of the boom or component does not rest on the component to be
checked.
In this position, using the boom movements, rock the boom or its
component back and forth against the support. Any play between the
mounting ears, bearing bushings and axle pins can be easily detected by
observing the free movement of the bearing bushing and axle pins from
safe distance. If any excessive movement in the mounting ear, bearing
bushing or in the axle pin is noticed, replace the worn components. Refer to
the technical manual.

replaced. If the distance (D) is over 7 mm, the slide pieces (5) must be
replaced.

Replacing the front slide piece without removing the inner tube
Remove the wiper (11) and wiper flange (10 and 12) mounting bolts (8),
and slide the wiper (11) and wiper flanges (10 and 12) further along the
inner tube (7).

The front slide plate (14) can be replaced without removing the inner tube
(7) from the outer tube (6). Replace the plate by running the inner tube (7)
as far out from the outer tube (6) as possible using the zoom function, by
removing all slide piece locking screws (1) and locking screw O-rings (2)
from the outer tube and by loosening the butt end tightening screws (3).
The slide plate parts (1 to 5) on the outer tube front section must be
removed entirely so that the inner tube (7) can be lifted upward in order to
create room to replace the front slide plate (14). If the rear slide plate (13)
has to be changed, the inner tube (7) must be removed from the outer tube
(6) altogether.

Removing the inner tube from the outer tube

Remove the wiper mounting flanges (10 and 12) as well as the wiper (11)
and, if necessary, the hydraulic hoses and electrical cables.
Remove the cover (20) located on the outer pipe (6) butt end. Using the
zoom function, run the inner tube (7) outward until the extension cylinder
pin (18) and its clamping mechanism parts are visible in the hole located on
the top or the bottom (butt end) side of the outer tube (6).
Remove the locking screws (1) and the locking screw O-rings (2), and
loosen the adjusting screws (3) slightly.
Unscrew and remove the mounting bolt of the extension cylinder’s cylinder
pin (16). From above and below the cylinder pin, remove the cones (17 and
19) centering the pin. Remove the cylinder pin (18) using a suitable punch.
The inner tube (7) can now be removed from the outer tube (6).
Now the rear slide plate (13) can be replaced. The slide plate (13) is
mounted on the outer tube with two hexagonal screws (15). Remove the
screws and replace the slide piece with a new one.
Note! When working on the boom, make sure that the boom and its parts
are properly supported as the center of gravity of the boom shifts
when the inner tube is removed from the outer tube.
Note! Note that the wiper and its flanges must be installed on the inner tube
before it is inserted into the outer tube.
6.1.6 Checking the boom clearances
To check the clearances, move the boom to different positions and observe
the movements and sliding surface of each joint separately. Pay special
attention to the hydraulic cylinders and their mountings. If necessary,
replace worn bushings between the cylinder pins and mounting ears. A new
bushing is easier to install if the frame and the cylinder ear are heated with
a blowtorch before installation.

6.1.7 Checking the cylinder pins

The cylinder pins are adjustable conical pins that are tightened clearance-
free to the bracket.
In order to check the condition of the cylinder pin and bearing bushing or
the mounting ear of the cylinder, support the boom or its component to a
position where the weight of the boom or component does not rest on the
cylinder to be checked.
In this position, using he boom movements, rock the boom or its
component back and forth against the support. Any play between the
mounting ears, bearing bushings and cylinder pins can be easily detected
by observing the free movement of the bearing bushing and cylinder pins
from safe distance. If any excessive movement in the mounting ear, bearing
bushing or in the cylinder pin is noticed, replace the worn components.
Refer to the technical manual.

6.1.10 Testing the third chamber seals of the lift/swing cylinder

The pump cylinder line is a hydraulic line between the boom lift cylinder's
third chamber (Y) and the feed tilt cylinder's B-port, and the boom swing
cylinder's third chamber (Y) and the feed swing cylinder's B-port. The
purpose of the line is to implement the boom's hydraulic automatic
parallelism.
Malfunctioning of automatic parallelism can be an indication of faulty
cylinder seals.

WARNING
FALLING LOAD HAZARD!
Uncontrolled boom descent may cause death or severe injury.
Never go beneath the boom unless it is supported. Before
disconnecting hydraulic hoses or valves, always make sure that the
system is not under static load. Before starting any repair work,
always release the static load by running the boom to rest against a
suitable mechanical support or to its extreme position.

WARNING
FALLING LOAD HAZARD!
Uncontrolled boom descent due to excessive pressure in the
cylinder or hoses may cause death or severe injury.
THIRD CHAMBER CYLINDERS ONLY: Never plug the third chamber
hose connector Y if the cylinder is used. If plugged, the oil in the
third chamber cylinder cannot escape, generating excess pressure
and risk of explosion of the cylinder and hoses.

WARNING
FALLING LOAD HAZARD!
Uncontrolled boom descent due to faulty third chamber seals in the
third chamber cylinder and a damaged or disconnected Y port hose
may cause death or severe injury.
Malfunctioning of automatic parallelism can be an indication of faulty
cylinder seals. Test the seals every 500 percussion hours and check
the condition of the Y port hydraulic hose and the tightening torque
of the connector daily.

WARNING
FALLING LOAD HAZARD!
Uncontrolled boom descent due to faulty boom operation will cause
death or severe injury.
The faulty operation of a boom function is an indication of a system
fault. In such an event, immediately stop all work with the drill rig in
question. Determine and properly repair the cause of the fault before
continuing work.

Note! The seals of the cylinder's third chamber must be tested every 500
percussion hours. If the seals have failed, the cylinder must be
properly repaired before work resumes. See test instructions in the
boom's technical manual, chapters "Testing the boom lift cylinder
seals" and "Testing the boom swing cylinder seals".
Swing/lift cylinders shall be overhauled every 1000 percussion hours
or every 12 months.
6.1.11 Lift/swing cylinders overhaul
Lift/swing cylinders shall be overhauled every 1000 percussion hours or
every 12 months whichever comes first.

7.3.2 Operating principle of the rotary actuator
The axial movement of the piston (7) is translated into a rotary movement
through the set of left-hand helical gears G2. This rotary movement is
transferred onto the second set of gears G1 with a right-hand pitch
therefore causing a further rotary movement straight onto the gear shaft
(12). The sum of the two rotary movements equals the total rotation of the
gear shaft (12). Positive lubrication and nitriding of gear surfaces ensure a
long service life.

7.3.6 Mounting of the rotary actuator

WARNING
FALLING LOAD HAZARD!
Uncontrolled rotation of the rotary actuator due actuator not filled
with oil or air existing in the hydraulic circuit could cause death or
severe injury.
Do not install any component or load on the rotary actuator before
completely bleeding the rotary actuator. Bleed the actuator
according to bleeding instructions.

Remove paint or other foreign particles from the joint flange surfaces. Make
sure that the hydraulic lines are clean before connection. Make sure the
fastening bolts have the correct length and the threads of the bolts and
actuator are in good condition. Tighten the bolts with correct tightening
torque.
7.3.7 Bleeding the rotary actuator
Entrapped air in both pressure chambers of the hydraulic rotary actuator
can impair the function of the rotary actuator. The air must be removed by
bleeding before starting the hydraulic swivel motor with new hydraulic fluid.

Bleeding with air bleeds

The rotary actuator is normally delivered with a G1/8 air bleed (S1). Rotary
actuators with valve plates are delivered with two additional G1/4 air bleeds
(S2, S3).

There must be no clearance between the inner tube (7) and the slide
pieces (4). Tighten the slide pieces (4) against the inner tube (7) by turning
the adjusting screw (3) moderately, and then reattach the locking screws
(1).
Install the wiper (11) and the wiper mounting flanges (10) in place, and
tighten the bolts. Finally, check that the inner tube (7) slides freely in the
outer tube (6).

7.10 Replacing the bearing bushings

The boom joints and the hydraulic cylinder mounting lugs are equipped with
bearing bushings and axle pins. All sliding surfaces between these parts
should be lubricated with grease via the provided grease nipples.
The bearing bushings in the hydraulic cylinder mounting lugs or frame can
be removed with a suitable punch.
When installing a new bushing, the temperature difference between the
bushing and the hydraulic cylinder mounting lug or frame opening must be
40–50 °C.
When installing a bushing into a frame opening, the surrounding metal
should be heated with a blowtorch to bring its temperature up to 40–50 °C
higher than the temperature of the bushing.
When installing a bearing bushing into a hydraulic cylinder mounting lug,
the required temperature difference should be reached by cooling the
bushing instead of using a blowtorch. This is to avoid risk of flame damage
of the hydraulic cylinder seals.

7.11 Testing the boom lift cylinder seals

1. Drive the boom to the horizontal position pointing forward and brace it
securely.
2. Carefully and slowly undo the hose from Y-port of the boom lift cylinder
and plug the hydraulic hose end with a steel cap.
3. Carefully and slowly undo the hose from B-port of the boom lift cylinder
and plug the hydraulic hose end and the B-port of the cylinder with a
steel cap.

2. Identification, Type plate

In the Type field is the exact type designation. The type designation and the associated
technical details please see the dimension sheet.

Figure 1

3. Intended Use

The rotary actuator SM3 is used for rotating or turning loads with a limited rotation
angle.
The rotary actuator may be used only for the intended purpose within the specified
limits. Please note possible indications applicable on the product drawing.
Another or beyond - use does not comply with regulations. Out of this following
damage results, does the Eckart GmbH not liable.

4. Operation

As in a hydraulic cylinder the piston K (see Figure 2 on page 7) is moved in a linear

motion between the two mechanical end positions E1 and E2 by means of
hydraulic power.
Through the multiple helical gears the linear motion is mechanically transformed
into a turning motion and transferred to the drive shaft W.
The pairs of helical gears are not self inhibiting. Positive lubrication and nitriding of
the surfaces of the helical gears ensures long service life for the rotary actuator.

Protect the rotary actuator from hydraulic and mechanical overloading, by using
safety valves, ext. end stops, etc.

Burns of the finger/hands

WARNING: By contact with the surface during operation of the rotary actuator or
individual components in repair and maintance work burns can occur on hands,
fingers or eyes.
During operation and maintenance and repair of the rotary actuator, we recommend
you to wear safety gloves, respectively protective goggles.

Death / severe injury

WARNING: The rotary actuator is under a hydraulic pressure of up to 280 bar (see
chapter 1 „Technical Data“). The dismantling of parts of the rotary actuator, such as
bottom, valve block, air bleed screw, or hydraulic line and so on can result in death
or serious injury. Splashed fluid can cause serious injury.
Before maintenance and repair of the rotary actuator, is it necessary to relieve the
rotary actuator from the pressure and separated it from other energy sources.
We recommend replacing an air bleed with bleed valves or measuring connectors,
to allow a trouble free bleeding and hydraulic release.
Generally, the use of safety goggles is recommended to minimize injury due to
liquids.

7. Before installation

INFORMATION: Examine the rotary actuator before installation for possible

transportation or other damage. Claims for damage under the guarantee cannot be
accepted after installation or start up.
Check that the technical data for the rotary actuator complies with requirements.

Check the datum of the drive shaft (see chapter 10). It can be in any position.

Move the drive shaft into the position required for installation either by turning the
drive shaft W mechanically or through hydraulic operation of the rotary actuator.
When pressure is applied in port B1 the drive shaft turns in direction B (clockwise)
and the piston K moves in direction E1 up to the internal mechanical end position.
This end position is the positive stop and is not adjustable.

When pressure is applied in port A1 the drive shaft turns in direction A (anti-
clockwise) and the piston K turns in the direction E2 to the internal mechanical end
position. This end position is not adjustable.
User guide SM3  Boom  Ø170, Ø190, Ø215, Ø230 13

8. Installation

Paint or other debris stuck to the flange must be removed.

Property damage
CAUTION: Care should be taken to align the drive shaft W perfectly with the hub
and the flange surfaces, to avoid exceeding the maximum permitted radial and axial
forces. Destruction of the rotary actuator by unallowed radial and axial forces.
The introduction of force must come through the shaft.

Additional care should be taken to ensure that the supply lines to the directional
valve are kept as short as possible to guarantee an exchange of hydraulic fluid.

Material damage: Damage of the rotary actuator by dirt particles

CAUTION: Before connecting the piping please check the pipe system in case of
durt and if necessary it should be cleaned. Heat-treated pipes should be scoured.

When replacing parts the rotary actuator must be dismantled. It is therefore

necessary to allow enough space for this to be carried out without any problem.

9. Start up

INFORMATION: Care must be taken during the start up. By handling incorrectly the
rotary actuator could be damaged or ruined.

INFORMATION: Before the first movement, the rotary actuator’s pressure chambers
must be filled with hydraulic fluid. Filling the chambers and the first movement
should ideally be undertaken without a load.
If this is not be possible for technical reasons, extra special care must be taken
when filling the chambers and during the first operation.
The operating pressure and flows should be reduced to a minimum if possible.
When the cushion option is used the flow control screw should be closed and
opened slowly allowing pressure in both directions. At the same time, bleed both
pressure chambers by opening the bleed screws.
To ensure that bleeding is easy and clean it is recommended that bleed valves or
test fittings are used instead of bleed screws.

Damage by unfilled rotary actuators:

CAUTION: A rotary actuator not filled with hydraulic fluid can be damaged or
destroyed during its first operation depending on how it is used.
Operate with the rotary actuator only if both chambers of the rotary actuator
pressure are filled with a suitable pressure fluid and vented. See chapter 14
„Hydraulic fluid“ and chapter 25 „Bleeding of the rotary actuator“.

Once it has been determined that both pressure chambers have been filled and
bled (see chapter 25 „Bleeding of the rotary actuator“), operation can be started with
caution. After the rotary actuator has completed a few movements, it can be
operated at maximum pressure and with the maximum amount of oil.
Should the procedures described above not be possible for technical reasons, the
rotary actuator must be filled using a hand pump or small unit via the threaded
bores of the G1/8” bleed screws.

12. Operating pressure

Please take the max. operating pressure, of the rotary actuators, from the following
listing (also see Chapter 1 “Technical Data”):
- Series: Ø170, max. operating pressure: 250 bar (3,625 psi)
- Series: Ø190, max. operating pressure: 250 bar (3,625 psi)
- Series: Ø215, max. operating pressure: 280 bar (4,061 psi)
- Series: Ø230, max. operating pressure: 225 bar (3,263 psi)
The low friction seals allow the rotary actuator to breakaway at 10 bar (145 psi). The
rotary actuator can be operated economically at approximately 20 bars (290 psi).

13. Backlash

Mechanical backlash required by the helical gears is approximately 20 angular

minutes in the end position.

14. Hydraulic fluid

We recommend mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids in the HLP group as per DIN
51524/part 2 and VDMA, recommendation 24318. Fluids without emulsifying agents
will reduce the service life of the rotary actuator. For highly flammable fluids, please
consult the manufacturer.
The recommended viscosity range is from 16 mm2/s to 68 mm2/s at 40°C to 60°C
(104°F to 140°F).
The rotary actuators are not filled at the factory.

15. Purity of the hydraulic fluid

The purity of the hydraulic fluid has big influence for the life time of the actuator.
Care should be taken to ensure that the hydraulic fluid used in the rotary actuator
does not exceed the contamination classification 19/17/14 in accordance with ISO
4406:1999. We recommend to rinse the complete unit before commissioning and to
filter the pressure fluid.
If the fluid is too viscous, contaminated or poor quality we recommend the
replacement of the hydraulic fluid.
The required cleanliness level in the hydraulic system is determined by the easily
soiled component of the hydraulic system (pump, valve, etc.). Follow the
specifications of the component manufacturers (pumps, valves, etc.). The
cleanliness class has to be better than 19/17/14.
User guide SM3  Boom  Ø170, Ø190, Ø215, Ø230 17

16. Changing the hydraulic fluid, Lubrications intervals

Changing the hydraulic fluid depends on the size of the system in question and
should be carried out at regular intervals.
If the hydraulic fluid volume of the supply lines is greater than the absorption volume
of the stroke of the rotary actuator, a fresh supply of hydraulic fluid is no longer
guaranteed. Each time the hydraulic fluid is changed the rotary actuator must be
flush cleaned with new hydraulic fluid.
When refilling the entire system it is important to ensure that hydraulic fluid of the
same type, and from the same manufacturer is used.
By heavy influence of dirt or early aging of the hydraulic fluid, the system and the
tank must be cleaned and rinsed, before refilling. New hydraulic fluid must always
be filtered according to the required cleanliness level before filling, because it
doesn't suit in the norm case with the purity level.
The lubrication intervals by the grease nipple (item 96) should be carry out after 150
to 250 operating hours (see chapter 26).

17. Purging

Before final commissioning of the hydraulic system is recommended to flush the

entire hydraulic circuit thoroughly (without the rotary actuator), to remove any dirt,
which could be penetrated when connecting the components.
If a later flush is getting necassary on the rotary actuator (e.g. due to the operating
time), must the flush be done over the air bleed G1/8”.
18 User guide SM3  Boom  Ø170, Ø190, Ø215, Ø230
18. Pressure fluid – temperature range

The permissible fluid temperature range, in which the rotary actuator can operate,
depends on the used hydraulic fluid, in accordance with the proper viscosity of the
hydraulic fluid and also the seals which are used.

The maximum temperature, at which the liquid pressure hydraulic actuator is

operating, must move the pressure connections of the rotary actuator in the
specified temperature limits. See meassure sheet.
When using hydraulic fluids based on mineral oil of the group HLP after DIN
51524/part2 must the fluid temperature lay between -25°C and +70°C. For these
pressure fluids and this temperature range are our rotary actuators designed
standard with seal elements.
Are other fluids as above described used or other liquid temperatures expected
please contact our company.

19. Leckage

The rotary actuator can be compared to well sealed linear cylinders because of its
solid seals, therefore allowing the load to be held in any intermediate position.

20. End position

The piston K can be moved under load against the end stops E1 and E2 and held in
this position. The end stops are however only designed to withstand the force
created by the maximum allowable operating pressure relating to the maximum
permissible torque output.
If the internal stops are used to limit the angle of rotation, the forces acting on the
stops (including forces due to inertia) must not be greater than the forces,
produced by the maximum permitted working pressure (210 bar/3,045 psi).
If higher forces can be expected, we recommend installation of external stops or
other methods of control such as end cushioning or control valves.

21. Torque output

The stated torque figures are effective torques, with the pressure versus the torque
curve being virtually linear. For multi-shift, heavy duty or high frequency applications
a safety factor between 1.2 and 1.5 is recommended. Torque output is equal in both
directions.
User guide SM3  Boom  Ø170, Ø190, Ø215, Ø230 19
22. Resetting forces

Damage: Damage to the rotary actuator

CAUTION: With hermetic closing of the rotary actuator (e.g. through hydraulic pilot
operated check valves) and exertion of a resetting force on the drive shaft, holding
pressure is created in the rotary actuator. If the holding pressure reaches the level
of the operating pressure then an approximately 38 % higher torque acts on the
drive shaft. If resetting forces are anticipated, this should be considered when
choosing the size of your rotary actuator.

23. Pressure supply lines

INFORMATION: To guarantee an exchange of hydraulic fluids, the supply lines

should be kept as short as possible. Dimension the interconnections according to
the performance of the rotary actuator.
Furthermore, it is recommended that the directional control valve is mounted directly
on the rotary actuator. Only this ensures that a fluid exchange between the rotary
actuator and fluid reservoir takes place.
Should this not be possible, we recommend a valve combination that will return the
hydraulic fluid back to the tank on each cycle.
Before connecting the pipes, the pipe line system must be checked and cleaned if
necessary. Heat-treated tubes may need to be stained. This prevents dirt particles
from entering the interior of the rotary actuator.

24. Check valves

Death / serious injury

CAUTION: By external heating and hermetic sealing of the rotary actuator (eg,
hydraulic check valves), the hydraulic pressure rises in the rotary actuator for each
1° for about 6 - 8 bar. Thereby, the maximum pressure can be exceeded and
destroy the rotary actuator.
If operating conditions with a sharp temperature increase are anticipated,
appropriate safety measures should be taken (e.g. load holding / counter balance
valves).

Let the rotary actuator turn into an end position before bleeding.
In the vent, the respective cylinder chamber (pressure chamber 1 respectively
pressure chamber 2) must be under low pressure (about 20-50 bar).
The air bleed will be opend two turns as long as out of the gap comes only bubble-
free oil.
After this the screw has to be tightend. Therefore you have to take care for the
tightening torque (AZM). If there is still air in the cylinder chamber, the process
must be repeatted so long, until the venting had sucess (bubble-free oil). Then idle
the rotary actuator at low pressure slowly 3 - 5 times out and retract.
Pressure chamber 1 (DK1) must be vented over the air bleed S1 or S2, pressure
chamber 2 (DK2) over the air bleed S3 (look at Figure 4 on page 20 and look
Figure 2 at page 7).

26. Maintenance

In theory the rotary actuator does not require maintenance. However, care should
be taken that the hydraulic fluids are changed at regular intervals as well as tervales
(see chapter 16).
Lubrication intervals: The front bearing is to be lubricated every 150 to 250
operating hours through the grease nipples (item 96).
Here you must take care if the pressed fat can escape at the 180° opposite relief
valve (item 95). Does maybe to old and hardend fat block the fresh fat, the wiper
ring (item 57) can be pressed out.
22 User guide SM3  Boom  Ø170, Ø190, Ø215, Ø230

27. Positioning

Depending on the type of control system used with the rotary actuator the degree of
rotation is infinitely variable.
If positions are changed in a neutral load status (e.g. horizontal index table), the
compressibility of the hydraulic fluid and the tolerance of the gears (see chapter 13)
must be taken into account.
The compressibility of mineral-based hydraulic fluids is approximately 0.5 -0.7 % per
100 bar (1450 psi).

28. Storage

The rotary actuators are only provided with an oil film from the factory. If a long
period of storage is anticipated the rotary actuator must be filled and/or treated with
the appropriate preservative.
The rotary actuators should be stored at a constant temperature. They must not be
exposed to extremes of cold and heat.
We recommend to store the rotary actuator by +5°C bis +25°C, in a favorable
relative humidity of about 65%.

29. Weight

The weight of the rotary actuators - should be considered. It can take up to 418 kg
(Also see chapter 1 “Technical Data”).

1.2 General
Drill rig utilizes two types of hydraulic cylinders:
• Two chamber hydraulic cylinders (normal)
• Three chamber hydraulic cylinders (special)
Three chamber cylinders are used for parallelism function on boom lift/
swing movements together with feed swing/tilt movements. Also feed
extension cylinder utilized this three chamber cylinder. All other cylinders
are two chamber cylinders.
Before starting any repair or maintenance activities with the cylinder, make
sure you are aware of the cylinder type and structure you are about to work
with. Make sure that the working conditions are clean and there are proper
tools available.
The main structural differences between hydraulic cylinders are:
• single and double acting
• cylinder bore
• cylinder stroke
• overcenter valve equipment

2 SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Safety

DANGER
CRUSHING HAZARD!
Unexpected machine movement will cause death or severe injury
Before removing any cylinders or their overcenter or non-return
valves, support the components carefully so that they do not move
during maintenance. Do not work under components that are
supported only by hydraulics.
Never disconnect any hydraulic hoses or valves before you make
sure that there is no static load in the system.

WARNING
IGNORING INSTRUCTIONS HAZARD!
If you do not understand any information related to your duties, you
MUST make sure that you get clarification from a person who is well
trained with regard to the task you want to do. When necessary, you
or your representative must contact a Sandvik representative to seek
clarification as to how you should do the task.
Installation, adjustment and repair work can only be carried out by a
person who has the necessary qualifications and knows the
equipment.

WARNING
MOBILE MACHINERY HAZARD!
The moving machine and its moving parts could cause death or
severe injury!
Ensure there is nobody in the hazard zone before starting the drill
rig, or during operation.

• Acquaint yourself with the service and user instructions before starting to
work on a cylinder. Learn to know all the components that you will be
working on.
• Follow the installation instructions issued by Sandvik.
• Use all necessary safety devices and make sure that they are in good
condition.

3.2 Overcenter valves

WARNING
HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID HAZARD!
High-pressure fluid remaining in hydraulic lines could cause death
or severe injury.
Never carry out maintenance or repair work on a pressurized system.
Relieve pressure before opening fittings, plugs or hydraulic valve
cartridges. Always make sure the parts are not pressurized. Use a
bleeder screw to relieve the pressure behind the valves or
cartridges, or wait until the rig is depressurized before removing the
components.
Protect your eyes by wearing safety goggles.

Most hydraulic cylinders are equipped with overcenter valves (also known
as crossover valves). They are either built in the hydraulic cylinder or
connected to the hydraulic circuit via hydraulic hoses.

Most of the overcenter valves are one-piece components and thus cannot
be readjusted. Sets of the seal rings (1) are provided as spare parts.
The set value of the valve is stamped on the face of the valve.

ID:GUID-6A73CE81-6B29-4B47-B7D8-B1072E42BA64 en-US 10 2021-11-12
Hydraulic cylinders

The tasks of an overcenter valve are:

• If a hose connected to the hydraulic cylinder breaks, the overcenter
valve acts as a safety valve and prevents the cylinder from moving.
• During drilling, the overcenter valve prevents oil flow from the cylinder to
the tank. The boom maintains accurately the position to which it was
moved to by using the boom control valves.
• When the boom is moved, the overcenter valve does not allow oil flow
from the return side until the pressure on the pressured side rises high
enough. Boom movements are smoother and more accurate and the
boom own weight cannot accelerate the speed of movement.
• If an external force raises the pressure in the cylinder higher than the set
value of the overcenter valve, the valve opens and lets oil out of the
cylinder. This enables the boom to yield under external force and
mechanical damage to the boom can be avoided.
The set values of the overcenter valves for various purposes are different.
Therefore you must not replace an overcenter valve with one from another
cylinder. The set value of the valve is stamped on the face of the valve.

3.2.1 Removing the overcenter valve

Before starting to remove the overcenter valve make sure the structure is
mechanically supported and the cylinder is without a static load.
Before removing overcenter valves release the pressure by opening
corresponding plug (eg. AM and BM) slowly with care! Locations of the
plugs and valves depend on cylinder types.

4 CYLINDER MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

4.1 Removal of the cylinder
Before starting to remove the cylinder, make sure that the boom is properly
supported and cylinder is without static load. Disconnect the hydraulic
hoses from the cylinder, and plug hoses and adapters.
Support and secure the cylinder so that it cannot fall down. Depending on
the cylinder pin type, either remove the circlip or locking plate. Hit the pin
out or detach expansion pin according to instructions in section "Expansion
pins".
Wash the cylinder externally and mount it securely before starting to
disassemble it.
See also cylinder manufacturer instructions.

4.2.1 Disassembling the standard two chamber SMC cylinder

Standard two chamber SMC cylinder

If there is hydraulic pressure available, connect the hoses to the cylinder

and drive the piston rod out until it is almost fully extended. This will help
disassembling. Make sure that cylinder is not fully extended and there is no
remaining pressure in the hydraulic cylinder. Then disconnect the hoses
and remove the overcenter valves (3). Be aware of oil spilling.

Open the clamp screw (18) from the bracket (19).

Open the cover with a special tool - use locally approved tools. Pull out the
piston rod; support it properly in order to get it out smoothly.

Piston
Before opening the piston, heat up the piston thread area to approx.
150-200 °C.
Undo the lock nut / locking screws (if equipped), which secures the piston
to the piston rod. Remove the piston together with the seals from the piston
rod (6) with suitable tools. Slide the spacer (5) and cylinder cover (1)
carefully away from the piston rod (6) and remove all the seals and the
wiper.
Inspection
Wash all components. Replace all seals and wipers. Check all sliding
surfaces. If scratches (big enough to feel with a fingernail) are found, the
components need to be replaced because the sealing ability of the surfaces
is no longer good. Also check the piston rod for straightness. If the rod is
distorted, check that it is not caused by an incorrect spacer. Check the
condition of the bearings / bushings (7) of the cylinder pins and replace

ID:GUID-6A73CE81-6B29-4B47-B7D8-B1072E42BA64 en-US 10 2021-11-12

them if there are any sings of wear. Visually check the condition of the
overcenter valves (3).
Replacing of bearing bushings
If the cylinder has already been removed from the rig, support the cylinder
well, remove circlips and press the old bearings / bushings out using a
suitable drift.
The new bearing / bushings are easier to install if they are cooled in a
freezer and the cylinder eye is warmed with a torch.
4.2.2 Assembling the standard two chamber SMC cylinder
See the cylinder structure from the parts manual. There are many different
kind of cylinders. See also cylinder manufacturer instructions.
You always need a new seal kit when assembling the cylinder!
In the seal kit there may be extra seals that you do not need in your
cylinder.

Bleeding should be done to prevent the malfunctions caused by the air in
the cylinders or the dirt in the hydraulic lines, if the cylinders or the hoses
are removed for various reasons.
1. Place the cylinder in horizontal position.
2. Connect the hydraulic hoses to the cylinder.
3. Drive the cylinder piston rod from end to end several times until the
piston rod stays in the end position (metal-to-metal connection).
4. After mounting the cylinder into the rig, drive movements from end to
end to finish the bleeding.

There are several different other type two chamber cylinders. The basic
work phases are the same as in the chapter "Disassembling the standard
two chamber SMC cylinder". Seals can be different and in different order
depending on the cylinder in use.
Before opening the piston, heat up the piston thread area to approx.
150-200 °C.
4.3.2 Assembling the other type two chamber cylinders
See the cylinder structure from the parts manual. There are many different
kind of cylinders. See also cylinder manufacturer instructions.
You always need a new seal kit when assembling the cylinder!
In the seal kit there may be extra seals that you do not need in your
cylinder.
1. Grease the seal grooves of the front cover (1) and install the guide rings
(16) and o-ring (10).

4.3.3 Bleeding the other type two chamber cylinder

4.4 Three chamber cylinders

A B Y

These instruction affects to:

• Boom swing/lift cylinders
• Feed tilt/swing cylinders
• Feed extension cylinder
These cylinders are three chamber cylinders. The cylinders have chambers
A and B, and a third chamber Y inside the hollow piston rod. When, for
instance, the boom lift cylinder length changes, the volume of the Y-
chamber changes, and the cylinder gives or takes oil from the feed tilt
cylinder, acting in this way as an essential part of the automatic parallelism
system.

4.4.1 Disassembling the three chamber cylinder

WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD!
Plugged Y-port will cause air pressurization inside the cylinder and
unexpected ejection of the cylinder parts when disassembling the
cylinder. This could cause death or severe injury.
Never plug the Y-port when the cylinder is in use or when
disassembling, assembling or bleeding the cylinder.

Note! The port Y of the hollow rod chamber, or the pump line must never be
plugged when the cylinder is in use as the Y-chamber is not
connected with the chambers A and B of the cylinder.
The basic work phases are the same as in the chapter "Disassembling the
standard two chamber SMC cylinder". Chambers A and B can be
disassembled in the same way. Seals can be different and in different order
depending on the cylinder in use.
The hollow piston rod inside the cylinder body should never be
disassembled.
Before opening the piston, heat up the piston thread area (X) to approx.
150-200 °C.
