Fan<br />

Quiet down that fan . . .<br />

Fan drives controlled by hydraulic cartridge valves are<br />

quieter and run on less horsepower than mechanical fan<br />

drives, providing greater fuel economy <strong>for</strong> tractors.<br />

Control valves with multiple temperature inputs can be<br />

used to provide variable fan speed control depending on<br />

air temperature, load, and cooling requirements. If the<br />

radiator gets clogged, two-position, four-way solenoid<br />

valves can automatically reverse fan direction.<br />

Electronic control of the hydraulic cooling system can be<br />

achieved using either an EFDR1 programmable valve<br />

driver or a CoreTek controller (ECU).<br />

SUSPENSION SYSTEMS<br />

Cab Suspension<br />

Seat Suspension<br />

Axle Suspension<br />

Health and safety consciousness is driving the need <strong>for</strong><br />

better suspensions in tractors. International standards,<br />

such as Vibration Directive 2002/44/EC have heightened<br />

awareness of the impact that vibration, stress and shock<br />

can have on the driver. Tractor manufacturers are seeking<br />

ways to improve seat, cabin, and front axle suspensions<br />

– many of these improvements can be made with<br />

the use of hydraulic cartridge valves and manifolds.<br />

Front Axle Suspensions in Tractors<br />

Increased tractor speeds, greater differences and wider<br />

ranges of load distribution and terrain have created a<br />

resurgence in the use of the suspended front axle to the<br />

tractor market.<br />

A hydro-pneumatic suspension system is an effective<br />

way to reduce vibration on a suspended front axle. A<br />

cartridge manifold is used with an accumulator to keep<br />

the cylinder in its nominal position. The accumulator<br />

functions as a spring by restricting the oil flow and<br />

damping the vibration. With the cylinder in its nominal<br />

position, it can extend completely, to its full stroke.<br />

Hydro-pneumatic suspension systems can be further<br />

enhanced with the addition of a level control manifold<br />

coupled with a position sensor and Electronic Control<br />

Unit (ECU). With an enhanced, “intelligent” system, the<br />

cylinder can fully complete each stroke, regardless of<br />

the load on the axle.<br />

Basic Suspension Solution<br />

This basic hydro-pneumatic suspension system is idea <strong>for</strong><br />

cabin or seat suspension or <strong>for</strong> tractors with a small axle load<br />

range.<br />

• Single or double acting cylinder<br />

• Accumulator<br />

• Level control manifold<br />

• Cartridge valves<br />

• Pressure ratio 1:3 between empty and max loaded axle<br />

Advanced Suspension Solution<br />

Travelling over rough or uneven ground is typical <strong>for</strong> tractors.<br />

When there is a high variance between minimum and<br />

maximum axle load, a more sophisticated axle suspension<br />

system is required, with a spring rate that adjusts continuously<br />

to driving speed, acceleration, or terrain.<br />

• Double-acting system<br />

• Independent accumulators <strong>for</strong> cylinder piston and rod<br />

side<br />

• Constant or variable pressure on rod side<br />

• Integral sensors<br />

• Software developement<br />

• Pressure ratio of more than 1:20 between empty and<br />

max loaded axle<br />

Suspension Options – Damping and Lockout<br />

Front axle suspensions can be designed with special options<br />

<strong>for</strong> damping and lockout using cartridge valves and<br />

manifolds.<br />

Lockout – Sometimes it is desirable to lock out the<br />

suspension. This can be accomplished with a lock-out<br />

manifold that can be used to over-damp the suspension<br />

or completely lock the connection between the hydraulic<br />

cylinder and accumulator.<br />

ACC1<br />

CYL1<br />

Damping – With an intelligent control algorithm in combination<br />

with a proportional valve which acts as a variable<br />

orifice to restrict oil flow between the cylinder and<br />

accumulator, a semi-active suspension system can be<br />

created.<br />

PRIMARY FUNCTIONS<br />

Hitch<br />

Brakes<br />

Accumulator Charging<br />

Steering<br />

<strong>HydraForce</strong> offers valves that are well suited<br />

to the unique needs of Dynamic<br />

Accumulator Charging Circuits which are<br />

commonly used in conjunction with steering<br />

and braking units. Hydraulic braking systems<br />

are common on tractors and towable<br />

implements. These circuits require a delicate<br />

balance between the priority flow steering<br />

and braking sections of the application, while<br />

simultaneously allowing excess flow to be<br />

diverted to tank or various auxiliary functions.<br />

A typical circuit provides priority flow <strong>for</strong><br />

the steering orbital while maintaining a<br />

predetermined range of pressure in the<br />

accumulator(s), to ensure adequate supply of<br />

oil <strong>for</strong> up to 7 brake depressions in the case<br />

of power loss. If one accumulator fails, the<br />

LS10-41 will shift over to protect the operational<br />

one. The ECxx- 42 provides priority<br />

flow in required amount while allowing excess<br />

flow to be used <strong>for</strong> auxiliary functions.<br />

Primary Functions<br />

Primary Functions are the basic / standard control circuits, such<br />

as Steering, Braking, and Hitch (Lift) Control.<br />

Steering / Braking<br />

These functions have priority over all other hydraulic demands.<br />

<strong>HydraForce</strong> manufacture a range of priority on demand pressure<br />

compensators with dynamic load sensing <strong>for</strong> fast response. With<br />

7 different models of priority on demand pressure compensator<br />

valves (ECxx-43), the rated flow capacities range from 34 lpm to<br />

530 lpm (9 gpm to 140 gpm).<br />

Dual Accumulator Charging<br />

<strong>HydraForce</strong> Inverted Shuttle Valve LS10-41 provides<br />

additional safety when using dual accumulators. In the event of<br />

one accumulator failing (eg a ruptured bladder, etc.), the failed<br />

accumulator is isolated from the rest of the circuit, allowing the<br />

second accumulator to supply steering / braking.<br />

RVD50-20P, PED rated product <strong>for</strong> accumulator charging circuits<br />

The RVD50-20P is a direct-acting, poppet type, hydraulic safety relief valve. The<br />

RVD50-20P is suitable <strong>for</strong> use as a safety accessory in Category IV, Group 2<br />

applications according to the pressure equipment directive (PED) 97/23/EC, which is<br />

primarily concerned with the protection of Accumulator Circuits. This is particularly<br />

well suited <strong>for</strong> dynamic brake charging circuits where pressure clipping and quick<br />

discharge of energy is often needed.<br />

Hitch (Lift Control)<br />

As tractor power and sophistication increases, so do the flow rates. <strong>HydraForce</strong> SPCL16-30 valves gives precise control<br />

up to 150 lpm (40 gpm) while holding the loads with extremely low leakage. <strong>HydraForce</strong> RV10-28 and RVD50-20 relief<br />

valves limit the shock pressure peaks whilst having very low leakage and hysteresis.<br />

OUR STORY<br />

Our Story<br />

The <strong>HydraForce</strong> story began in 1985 when the company<br />

was founded near Chicago by several partners who saw<br />

the mobile equipment industry’s need <strong>for</strong> quality hydraulic<br />

cartridge valves and manifolds delivered in a timely and<br />

responsive manner. They also saw the potential <strong>for</strong><br />

engineering innovation and design flexibility offered by<br />

cost-effective and space-saving cartridge valves and<br />

hydraulic integrated circuits.<br />

Since its founding, <strong>HydraForce</strong> continues to be a<br />

privately held company as it has grown to several<br />

manufacturing locations in North America, Europe and<br />

Asia, with a network of 120 stocking distributors who can<br />

offer local support across the globe.<br />

To maintain our core competency of speed to market,<br />

<strong>HydraForce</strong> has invested in application technical support<br />

tools including i-Design, our free hydraulic system design<br />

sofware, which integrates seamlessly with 3rd party<br />

simulation software, monthly webinars on new products<br />

and application tips, and an online product catalog.<br />

All <strong>HydraForce</strong> products carry a five-year limited<br />

warranty against defects in material and workmanship.<br />
