SWING SYSTEM TMS800E SERVICE MANUAL
SWIVELS
Description
The swivel assembly (see Figure 6-6) consists of an 8-port
hydraulic swivel, a 2 port water swivel, and a 20 conductor
slip ring electrical swivel. Solid connections cannot be used
to transfer oil, heater hot water and electricity between the
carrier and superstructure due to the continuous 360 degree
swing. The use of swivels efficiently accomplishes this
function.
The barrel portion of the hydraulic swivel is attached to the
turntable base plate by four bolts, washers and bushings.
The spool portion of the swivel rides upon a thrust ring at the
top of the swivel case. The spool portion is held stationary
with the carrier by bolts, and bolt retainer plate attached to
the swivel retainer plate which engages the carrier frame
lugs with bolts and jam nuts. This allows the spool to remain
stationary with the carrier as the case rotates with the
superstructure.
The water swivel case is engaged to the hydraulic case by
four dowel pins causing the water swivel to rotate with the
superstructure.
The electrical swivel center or collector ring assembly is
secured by setscrews to a center post which is bolted to the
spool of the hydraulic swivel. This allows the collector ring
assembly to remain stationary with the carrier. The outer
portion or brush assembly is mounted on two studs which
are located on the mounting plate assembly which is
retained to the water swivel barrel by a bolt. This allows the
brush assembly to rotate with the superstructure around the
stationary collector core.
