SWING SYSTEM
SWING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The swing motor and pump are isolated from the main open
hydraulic system. It’s a closed system in which an electrically
controlled variable hydraulic pump drives a fixed hydraulic
motor. Swing motor speed is proportional to the output flow
volume of the swing pump. The swing motor drives a
planetary drive with a pinion gear output which drives the
ring gear of the rotating bed to achieve rotation.
Swing speed and swing torque can be selected for the type
of work being performed using the Function Mode screen
(see the MLC165-1 Main Display Operation manual).
