Electrical Swivel
Description
The swivel assembly consists of a 15 conductor slip ring and
cover assembly.
Each brush set incorporates two brushes, leads, and clips
which are attached to a brush holder assembly. The brush
set leads are formed into harnesses which are routed
through the mounting plate on the swivel. The collector ring
leads are formed into one harness which is routed downward
through the center of the hydraulic swivel. Extending from
the base of the hydraulic swivel, the collector ring leads are
also formed into connectors which plug into receptacles from
the chassis power supply.
The swivel cover is secured with a seal and bolts.
The electrical swivel also incorporates a slew potentiometer.
The potentiometer controls functions in the load moment
indicating, working area definition, and rear axle oscillation
lockout systems.
Theory Of Operation
The electrical swivel is located on top of the water swivel and
transfers electricity between the carrier and superstructure.
Wiring harnesses transmit the electricity between the carrier
and superstructure.
