Note: Changes from the picture and main


components table above may occur.

Function
The function of the power unit is to provide the hydraulic motor(s) (or other hydraulic systems) with the
required flow of oil and pressure at the right time. All included parts are assembled in one (or more)
compact cabinet(s). The PAC has one or more pumps driven by one or more electric motors. The
main pump is an axial piston pump with variable displacement for closed loop systems. The electric
motor is totally enclosed fan cooled. Two different control systems are available.

Control systems available


Spider: A small, compact and configurable control system. It can health monitor the power unit
and can control one or two pumps with three preprogrammed functions:

The PAC is a very flexible product with a wide range


of options. This makes it possible to select a standard power unit to fulfill the features needed in
many different applications. This installation and
maintenance manual is intended to cover all standard options. It may not cover all details on special power units, which differ from the standard
PAC concept.

Basic, for most of our drives can be configured for speed feedback control and power
limitation.
Shredder, for shredder applications.
Synchro, for friction and synchronized drives.

MCA: For special control functions, normally based


on PLC and control cards.

Note: It is also possible to control the PAC from


external control systems provided by the customer.

CAUTION

It is important to check the


other attached technical
documentation to identify
the features of your unique
power unit.

Technical Data

2. TECHNICAL DATA
2.1 Operating conditions
The standard PAC unit is designed for the conditions listed below. If the requirements are outside of
the conditions listed below, contact your Hgglunds Drives representative with your specific requirements for special design considerations.
Ambient temperature: Minimum 32 F (0 C) to a maximum 85 F (30 C).
Altitude: Maximum 3,300 feet (1000 m).
Classified Location: Unit is designed for a standard location. Units can be built for use in
classified hazardous locations. Contact your Hgglunds Drives representative for more details.

2.2 Cooling water


The cooling system is primarily designed to operate with clean water.
When there are particles in the water, larger than 0.02 in. (0.5 mm), a water filter must be used.
It is important to:

Maintain the water filter (if any) in a correct way, this is to get the required flow of water through
the water oil cooler.
Ensure you have the required flow, pressure and temperature of the cooling water (see attached
technical documentation).
Check the temperature in the hydraulic system, according to the maintenance intervals for your
specific power unit or the maximum intervals on the maintenance chart.
Clean the cooling system if the temperature in the hydraulic system is above the specified limits.
Clean and empty the cooling system (waterside) before periods of inactivity (especially if the
cooling water is not totally clean).
If cooling capacity is too low, the service life of hydraulic motor, the main
components in power unit, and the hydraulic fluid will be reduced.

2.3 Requirements for hydraulic fluid cleanliness


The PAC is equipped with filters on the drain and return line(s). In order to obtain rated service life it is
important to follow recommendations concerning cleanliness levels and maintenance requirements.

Cleanliness recommendations

The system must be flushed before start up (section 4.12 Flushing before start up).
When filling the tank with hydraulic fluid it is important to fill through the quick connection (section 4.13.2 Filling up the system with hydraulic fluid).
The particle contamination level in the system should not exceed ISO/DIS 4406 16/13 (NAS
1638, class 7).
The water content shall be <0.1% and in individual applications with high demands for service
life, <0.05%.
Always use filter elements recommended and supplied by the Hgglunds Drives organization.
The hydraulic fluid should be analyzed according to the special maintenance intervals for your
specific PAC or the maximum intervals on the maintenance chart (section 5.2 Maintenance
Chart). You should be particularly careful when removing equipment for repairs or maintenance
so that dirt cannot enter the system. Components should be cleaned and free of dirt prior to
disassembly.
Do not re use hydraulic fluid that has leaked out.

The monitoring of the power unit switches are grouped in two levels according to the above logic
diagram.
The warning indication is to inform about a problem in the PAC but does not need an immediate action.
The alarm indicates a need for stopping the pump. The stop sequence is to first stop the hydraulic
motor without ramp, by setting the pump swash angle to zero. Furthermore, after a short delay stop
the electric motor.
The low charge pressure switch must be interlocked during stop and start-up of the electric motor, to
avoid alarm and give the pump time to build up the charge pressure after start.

coupling through inspection hole into the nylon star coupling without causing any damage to it. The
connection box on the electric motor must be positioned as shown in the picture on page 6 (section 1.2
Operating principle). Lower motor to a position approximately 0.2 in. (5 mm) above bell housing.
Place greased bolts in the holes and tighten by hand.

7. Tighten bolts to the bell housing


Inspect that there is an axial clearance on the shaft coupling through the inspection hole in the bell
housing, and then tighten the attached bolts to the bell housing.

8. Assemble top cover and sound baffle


Assemble in reverse order according to point 1 and 2.
When the top of the electric motor is below the sound baffle, a piece of thin sheet aluminum must be
formed into a cylinder or a hexagon and be placed over the fan cover. It must be secured to the heat
shield by way of rivets to allow the electric motor to draw in cooling air from the area above the heat
shield (the area where the cooling air inlet is located).
The hole in the sound baffle must be located straight above the electric motor and be slightly smaller
than the cross section of the fan cover.
For connection of electric motor refer to page 18 (section 4.9 Electric connections).

DANGER

Do not stand underneath a hanging load.


Use all lifting ears when the electric motor is hanging free.
Use only lifting equipment adapted to the weight on the rating plate.
No hands/fingers between electric motor and bell housing during assembly.

4.9 Electric connections


Safety precautions

All electric equipment is intended to be installed and used by qualified personnel who are familiar with relevant safety requirements.
Safety equipment necessary for the prevention of accidents at the mounting and operating site
must be provided in accordance with the regulations prevailing in the local country.
Grounding shall be carried out according to local regulations before the electric equipment is
connected to the main voltage.
All electrical supply levels must be within the limits that the equipment is constructed for, see
technical documentation and maximum rating plate.

Junction box
Connect the cables on the screw terminals inside the junction box. Make the connections according to
the electrical drawing in the attached technical documentation.

Air-oil cooler
The voltage and connection are stamped on the rating plate. Connect the electric motor to the electrical supply. Check direction of rotation, see air stream arrow in section 4.6.

Electric motor
Major voltage connection according to designation on the rating plate.

4.10 Pipe work

Installation of electrical equipment must in most


countries be installed by licensed electricians
(reference local laws and regulations).

DANGER
When sizing hoses and hydraulic piping between the motor and the power unit, a safety factor of at
least 4 times the maximum system pressure should be used for the tensile strength. Keep in mind that
the equipment may be readjusted to higher pressure in duty. Pressure losses in the pipe system
should generally be kept to a minimum but there are exceptions in certain applications. Contact a
Hgglunds Drives service representative for more information.

Hydraulic pipes
The hydraulic pipes should be of high-grade steel as per ISO 3304, DIN 2391/C or ANSI/B93.4.

Pressure test
A pressure test to 1 1/2 times the maximum working pressure should be performed on the main lines
to check for possible leakage.
Pressure tests on the main lines are best carried out using a hydraulic hand pump.

Hoses
To avoid damage caused by vibrations it is important that the PAC and the motor be connected to
pipes by means of hoses.
The hoses must be short and have the smallest possible diameter in order to obtain a small compression volume. Nevertheless, allowance must be made for the minimum permissible bending radius
according to the data provided by the supplier of the hose. Allowance must also be made for the flow
velocities listed under Pipe sizes.

Pipe flushing
The piping system must be flushed with an adequately sized flushing pump prior to starting up the
PAC unit to remove contamination introduced during assembly and/or welding. Please contact a
Hgglunds Drives service representative for proper cleaning and flushing procedure.
18

Installation

Installation and Maintenance Manual, Power Unit PAC

Pipe sizes
It is important that lines between the main connections of the motor and PAC are as short as possible.
This gives the following advantages:
1. Small compression volume in the hydraulic system.
This is particularly important in hydraulic systems with large and rapid load variations, and in
drives, where high speed accuracy is essential.
2. Small power losses in the hydraulic system.
3. Lower installation costs in that smaller pipe sizes and shorter pipe lengths can be used.
For a normal hydraulic system, the total pressure drop in the pressure and return line must
not be more than 5 percent of the normal working pressure.
The following flow rates are recommended values and should not be exceeded:
Main lines 15 ft/s (4.5 m/s)

Drain lines 5 ft/s (1.0 m/s)

4. Lower noise level.


In certain systems, where very small compression volumes are required, higher flow rates
are acceptable with possible increase in noise. Contact Hgglunds Drives representative in
these specific cases.
When dimensioning hose and pipe lengths between the drain connections of the motor and the PAC,
keep in mind that the total pressure drop to the drain connections of the motor must not exceed 14.5
PSI (1 bar). The pressure drop through the PAC is 7.25 PSI (0.5 bar).

Pipe couplings
It is essential that a tight and pressure rated coupling is chosen.
The following types of coupling are recommended:

Non-welded couplings are preferred


Non welded couplings provide the most clean piping installation as compared to a welded pipe system.

Welded couplings (socket or butt type)


When using welded couplings, the pipes should be machined, normalized, and pickled. The pipes
must then be brushed, rinsed internally and blown clean before flushing.

Pipe coupling
Type collar coupling as per SAE J 514.

Pipe clamps
Pipes should be clamped with uniformly spaced clamps.
The distance between the clamps may not exceed 6 ft (2 m) for pipes with outside diameters between
1/2 in. (15 mm) and 1 1/2 in. (38 mm). The distance between the clamps may not exceed 9 ft (3m) for
pipes with outside diameters greater than 1 1/2 in. (38 mm).
In addition, the pipes must be clamped immediately before and after a bend. The pipes must be
clamped immediately before transition to a hose as well.
The pipe clamps shall be secured to a stable and non-vibrating surface such as concrete structure.
The pipe clamps must be of a type permitting a certain amount of axial and radial motion in the
clamped joint and have good vibration-absorbing properties.

19

Installation and Maintenance Manual, Power Unit PAC

Installation

Storage of included components


The included components must be stored in the same way as the power unit (section 3.1 Storage of
the packed power unit). Notice that the packing must not be removed during storage.

!
DANGER

Do not work on the pipe system if the hydraulic system is pressurized.


Use necessary safety equipment during installation of the pipe system.
Usual safety requirements for each step must be followed.

Handling of fittings
Inspect the sealing surfaces on the couplings visually before mounting. It must be free of any damages such as scores and cracks. Handle the couplings with care. If you drop the coupling or it has
nicks on it inspect it visually. Check that the sealing (if any) is in its right position, free from cracks and
that it is saturated with oil.
The protection and packing on the fittings must be kept on until final assembly.

Flange fittings

Clamps

The screws must be tightened crosswise.

The normal distance between clamps:

JIC-fittings (SAE J514, ISO 8434)

Pipe diameter less than 1 in. (25.4 mm)


space clamps 60-80 in. (1524-2032 mm)
apart.
Pipe diameter greater than 1 in. (25.4 mm)
space clamps 80-100 in. (2032-2540 mm)
apart.
The pipes must be clamped immediately before
as well as after a bend and immediately before
transition to a hose.

Tighten fittings by hand, then tighten 1/4 to 1/2


turn more using an appropriate wrench. Do not
over tighten the fittings.
Use correct size tools, fittings can be damaged
and difficult to remove.
Be aware that all fittings may expand because of
heat and vibrations. All fittings must be checked
and retightened.

Welded fittings
Contact your Hgglunds Drives representative.

Correct

Mounting of hoses
Ensure that hoses are not stressed or twisted on
installation, to prevent premature failure. Bend
radius should conform to manufacturer recommendations.

Pressure tests
Pressure tests should always take place before
flushing in order to release contamination by
stresses introduced by the pressure. The main
lines must be pressure and leakage tested to a
static pressure of 1 1/2 times the maximum expected system pressure (not above bursting pressure). The hydraulic motor and power unit must
be disconnected or protected by closed valves
during the pressure tests.

Incorrect

Cleaning
The pipes and hoses should be pre-cleaned, inspected and sealed by the supplier. If the pipes
are field bent and installed the overall system must
be flushed to reach the required cleanliness level.

4.12 Commissioning
4.12.1 Prior to commissioning

Read and understand this complete manual and the other attached technical documentation.
Visually check the whole system for signs of damage, incorrect circuitry, security of foundations,
and that the degree of filtration of the filters are according to the data in the technical documentation.
Check that the coupling between the electric motor and pump is properly mounted.
Check that the pre charge pressure in the accumulator (optional) is in accordance with the
technical documentation.

Cleanliness

The hydraulic system must be flushed and thoroughly cleaned on the inside.
If you are uncertain about the cleanliness of the system, it must be checked prior to filling with
oil.

Pipe work

Are the couplings properly tightened?


Is the pipe work properly cleaned?
Is the pipe work mounted free of stress?
Are the lines in accordance with installation drawing/piping plan?

Electrical System

Check that electric motor(s) and control system and other electrical components are connected
to the correct voltages.
Check the function of electrical components and monitoring system manually. Instruments that
cannot be actuated can be checked for correct wiring and possibly operated manually. Level
switch and indication should be checked when filling the tank.

4.12.2 Filling up the system with hydraulic fluid


Before filling

Check that the correct type and quality of


hydraulic fluid is used. Do not mix different
types of hydraulic fluid without first checking
with manufacturers.
Check that the barrel with hydraulic fluid and
tank/hoses are not contaminated with water
or other substances.
Follow instructions for handling of couplings
and hoses (section 4.10 Pipework).
Plug the drain connection D (motor) to
prevent non filtered fluid being filled into the
hydraulic motor case, when filling the system
the first time.
Fill the pump case with filtered hydraulic oil
through the D1 port on the pump. When
finished filling the pump case, replace the
plug/hose connected to the D1 port.

Filling
Use a fluid filling pump unit, which has a filter with a filter rating of 10 microns, or better.
New fluid is normally not filtered and will introduce dirt into the system, the
fluid must therefore always be filled through a filter. Never pour hydraulic
fluid into the tank through the air breather filter.
Always pump the fluid in through the quick connection that is marked appropriately. The quick connection is a completely rustproof quick release coupling, see figure below. The fluid filled into the system
will be filtered through the drain filter for better results.
The tank must be filled with oil to 0.79 in. (20 mm) below the maximum level on the visual level gauge
on tank before starting for the first time.
Check the function of the level switch and indication during filling up of the tank.

4.12.3 Initial start up procedure


Important Note!

Make sure the driven system and driven machine is ready to run, warn all personnel in the area
that start up is in progress.
Follow safety precautions in this manual (section 1.1 Safety precautions).
Never operate the power unit with defective instruments or control elements.
Keep flammable materials away from the power unit.
During start-up period, the hydraulic system will be filtered to remove dirt particles, therefore
keep an eye on the filter indicator during the entire start up procedure.

On cold start up, the filters may indicate bypass. After a few minutes of operating, press down the
visual indicator to reset. If the indicators will not reset after system has reached operating temperature, filter element must be inspected and changed.

STEP 1

Immediately before starting

Check fluid level in the tank and refill to about 0.79 in. (20 mm) below maximum level at visual
level gauge on tank (section 4.12.2 Filling up the system with hydraulic fluid).
Check if any components need filling with clean hydraulic fluid, such as the pump case and
motor case.
Check safety equipment.
Check that all the prescribed steps (section 4.12.1 Prior to commissioning) have been carried
out.
Make sure that all valves on the suction, pressure and inlet side of the pump, as well as any
valves on drain lines, are open.
Check that cooling water is connected and turned on if a water-oil cooler is used.

For adjustments and settings on the control system (if any) see separate instruction in attached technical documentation.

STEP 2

Start with unloaded pump at short intervals

Starting of the PAC shall be carried out with a completely unloaded pump in short intervals.

When the hydraulic fluid is cold, some restarts may be needed in order to raise the charge
pressure.
Check that the charge pressure corresponds with data and settings on attached technical documentation.
If OK, the pump may be allowed to come on stroke and introduce flow into the unloaded hydraulic system.
Flow and pressure should be limited until lines are purged of air.

Check that the charge pressure is still OK.

Immediately make sure that the


pump has the correct direction
of rotation. Otherwise, the
pump will be damaged. The
correct direction of rotation is
evident from a sticker placed
under the electric motor, see
figure to the right.

ROTATION

24

Installation

Installation and Maintenance Manual, Power Unit PAC

STEP 3

Unloaded pump at longer intervals

Run for a period at no load condition until system is stable and control is established. Checking of the
oil level may be needed due to parts of the system having been filled with fluid.

Check all interlocks.


Check fluid level in the tank
Check for unusual noises or vibrations.
Check that the specified pressure level for charge pressure at the PAC is maintained in accordance with the values stated on the hydraulic diagram in the attached technical documentation.
These pressure levels are preset at the factory and there is normally no need to readjust.
Check for leakage points.
Stop the electric motor.
Correct any faults discovered in the points above.
Check all connections, screws etc. and tighten if necessary.
Restart when finished.

STEP 4

Loaded hydraulic system

The hydraulic system can be loaded when the hydraulic system function is satisfactory in unloaded
running condition.

Gradually increase load pressure until proper operation is obtained.


It may be necessary, at this point, to make adjustments to flow, ramp rates, etc.
Cycle the system until normal operating temperature is reached.

STEP 5

Check for unusual noises or vibrations.


Check the function of the safety equipment.
Check temperature in tank and closed loop. Check also that the cooler control is stable. If not,
investigate water supply, controls, air cooler, etc.
Check for leakage points.
Check that the pump compensator pressure control and pressure switches (optional) are set at
levels appropriate to the specific drive. Upon delivery, these pressure levels are set at the levels
specified by the customer and normally no readjustment will be necessary. The values are
stated in the technical documentation. System compensator can easily be checked by closing a
ball valve on the high pressure leg and stroking the pump until the pressure is showing on the
gauge.
The working pressure must be checked to ensure that they correspond to the specified values.

STEP 6

Checking

Stop the electric motor

Correct any faults discovered while performing the points of Step 5.


Check the filter indicator. It is not unusual to change elements on commissioning as the system
is cleaning the dirt particles out. When changing filter elements carefully follow the instructions
(section 5.3 Filter change) to prevent introduction of dirt into the system. If there is still dirt in
the system, additional flushing is necessary in order to prevent premature failure of system
components.
Check all connections, screws etc. and tighten if necessary.
Remove waste fluid, scrap cabling, etc. to keep the area in and around the unit clean.

Charge pressure and Pump compensator pressure level are set before the PAC leaves the factory and
consequently there is normally no need for readjustment. Always check the pressure levels in technical documentation. Professional service personnel familiar with the functions and risks involved with the pump must perform setting of pressures on the pump(s). The pressures shall be
set during operation and with the system at operating temperature. Note that pressures can change
with different viscosity.
1. Charge pressure adjustment: Remove acorn nut, loosen lock nut and adjust pressure with a
5/32" size Allen key. Clockwise adjustment will increase the pressure. The charge pressure (on
the charge pressure gauge) shall be within the following limits: 218 psi (15 bar) for P6S/ P7S &
P11S/P14S & P24S and 261 psi (18 bar) for P30S.
If other charge pressures are to be set, contact Hgglunds Drives representative for consultation.

2. When charge pressure is set: Tighten lock nut and return acorn nut. Note in the logbook or
other technical documentation.
3. If the main pressure levels are to be increased: Make sure that the piping and machine
structure can take higher pressure/higher torque delivered from the hydraulic motor.
4. Compensator pressure adjustment: Dead head the pump, then activate or move the input
signal to the control so that pressure increases in the high pressure closed circuit to the pressure limiter setting. The pressure limiter setting is reached when the pressure stops increasing
and remains steady at a given pressure level. (As shown on the gauges)
The pressure limiter setting for both A- and B-side is set on the compensator valve.

Remove acorn nut, loosen lock nut and adjust pressures with a 5/32" size Allen key, until the desired
pressure level is established. Clockwise rotation of the adjustment screw will increase the pressure.
5. When main pressures are set: Tighten lock nut and return acorn nut. Note the new pressure

5.4 Inspection of hydraulic fluid


We recommend that the hydraulic fluid be analyzed once every 6 months. The analysis should cover
viscosity, oxidation, water content, additives and fouling. In the vast majority of cases, your oil supplier
will perform an analysis that will reveal the condition of the hydraulic fluid and can recommend suitable
actions. If the analysis reveals that the properties of the hydraulic fluid are not fulfilling the requirements (section 2.3 Requirements for hydraulic fluid cleanliness) it should no longer be used, but be
changed or cleaned immediately. Refill fluid according to instructions (section 4.12.2 Filling up the
system with hydraulic fluid).

5.7 Cleaning of Air-Oil cooler


Cleaning of air fins

The easiest way to clean the air fins is by using compressed air or rinsing with water.
Fouling can be dealt with using a degreasing agent and a high-pressure washing system. When
using a high pressure washing system point the jet carefully parallel to the air fins.

!
WARNING

Follow the safety precautions on the container of the cleaning agent used.
Disconnect the power unit before disconnecting the Water-oil/Air-oil cooler.
Make sure that electric power is cut off before cleaning! Cleaning agent
and waste water from rinsing should not be disposed of in nature.

5.8 Power unit out of service


Periods out of commissioning
Clean and empty the cooling system (water side) before periods of rest (especially if the cooling water
is not totally clean). If the PAC is to be out of service for more than three months, the hydraulic system
must be protected internally against rust.
This can be done in the following manner:
Use hydraulic fluid that is consistent with fluid types used at your location, which has rust preventing additives.
Use additives which give protection against rust for up to about a year. After this, the equipment
should be run at intervals to maintain a protective film on the internal surfaces of components
and oil lines, thus providing protection against corrosion.
If any parts of the system are disconnected, note that open fittings must be protected by plugs
or covers to prevent entrance of any dirt particles.

Re commissioning
Before the drive is restarted after a long idle period, a check should be made as to whether the
instructions supplied for the original commissioning still apply. Moreover, the following measures
should be observed.

Remove preservative solution and any signs of contamination.


Follow the procedure for initial start-up (section 4.12.3 Initial start-up procedure).

6. CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
6.1 Common
Before removing any hydraulic/electric components, disconnect the power unit. Ensure that no energy
is accumulated in the system and the power is disconnected from the electric motor. Follow recommended safety procedures.

Before disassembly

Troubleshoot the PAC and perform appropriate tests.


Clean all assemblies and components, take all precautions necessary to prevent dirt entering
the system.
Disassembly may only be done by professional service personnel.

31

Installation and Maintenance Manual, Power Unit PAC

Corrective Maintenance

Disassembly

Label all parts, and protect precision or machined surfaces.


Inspect all parts during disassembly for wear or damage.
If hydraulic fluid is to be drained and reused, make sure that drain containers are clean and
covered when not in use.
Clean all metal parts using a suitable solvent prior to reassembly, set aside on a clean and lint
free cloth to drain.

Reassembly

Lubricate with system hydraulic fluid.


Replace all seals, gaskets and o-rings with new items of the correct size.
Ensure complete sealing at pipe connections.
Refill hydraulic fluid according to recommendations (section 4.12.2 Filling up the system with
hydraulic fluid).

6.2 Change of hydraulic pump/electric motor assembly


The most common method to change the pump is to lift the complete electric motor/pump unit and
then remove the pump.
The electric motor and pump are assembled into a unit and mounted on the motor support plate
attached to the frame via shock mounts.
1. Remove top cover and sound baffle: Item 1 and 2 (section 4.5 Mounting of electric motor).
2. Release the motor support plate: Release the motor support plate from the frame.
3. Secure lifting equipment: Adapt lifting equipment in the four holes in the corners of the motor
support plate.
4. Lift the electric motor/pump unit: Be careful and take the weight and center of gravity into
consideration. Never let the electric motor/pump stand on the charge pump.
5. Assemble: Assemble in reverse order according to point 1 to 4.

!
DANGER

Always use all four lifting points when lifting the electric
motor/pump unit.
Never use the lifting ears on the electric motor to lift the
complete electric motor/pump unit.
Use only lifting equipment adapted to the weight (section 4.2
Lifting methods and weights).
Do not stand underneath hanging load
Take center of gravity into consideration during lifting.
