Modulating Valve
ECMV
(Mechanical Type)
(Electric control type)
It consists of a modulating valve and a speed valve.
By mechanical operation, a modulating valve raises
clutch oil pressure gradually at the time of a gear
shift.
The transmission has only one modulating valve.
The speed valve changes the direction of oil flow and
then it changes speed range and F-R.(directional
valve)
(Electronic Control Modulation Valve)
-Each clutch pack has independent ECMV.
-Output oil pressure is controlled proportionally to
solenoid current.
-the Oil pressure is increase gradually by control of
the PT controller.
-Clutch oil pressure is detected by the fill-switch.
-Simple structure
-No risk for double engagement
-Individual control for each clutch pack is possible.
-The smooth engaging of clutch by pressure control.
-Smooth speed shifting by cooperative control for
each ECMV.
(Power transmitting is not cut during shifting)
- Individual pressure control for each clutch is
impossible
- Power transmitting is cut a momentarily when
shifting.
-Risk of double engagement due to trouble of the fill
switch.
- Oil management is severe.
27
HST(Hydro Static Transmission) Ex) D31-22
There are 2 sets of Hydraulic pump & motor.
Capacity of Pump & Motor are controlled
individually Left and Right.
*Include Steering function.
The basic structure of the HST Bulldozer is common.
-Size of pump and motor.
-Type of changing capacity in motor (3 stage type or variable).
are different depend on model and generation.
Type of Steering System
Clutch & Brake
・・・ Middle & Large Size Bulldozers, Old machines
Disengage the clutch of turning side, power transmit to opposite side.
After clutch disengaged, engage brake disc & plate, sharp turn is possible. Spin turn is
not possible.
There are 2 categories by steering brake type.
・Multiple disc clutch + Band brake
・Multiple disc clutch + Multiple disc brake
HSS(Hydro-Static Steering)
・・・Small & Middle Size (-EX, -AX)
No clutch structure, only brake disc & plate are installed for stopping machine. Steering for
LHS&RHS is controlled by rotating direction of HSS motor.
Spin turn and dozing during steering is possible.
HST(Hydro-Static Transmission)
・・・Small size bulldozers (-EX)
As same as Hyd excavators, steering is controlled by rotation difference of both
LHS&RHS travel motors. Spin turn and dozing during steering is possible.

HSS control system
The steering spool in the
control valve is driven by the
EPC output pressure. Both
side EPC valve is controlled
by command current from
T/M, Steering controller.
HSS pump pressure oil
flows to HSS motor and
HSS gear train makes LH
steering, RH steering or
counter rotation.

Floating seal
O-Ring
Seal ring prevent dirt and water intrusion
from outside.
Sealing surface: Both seal slip each other, but
oil is not leaked since both faces adhere.
Seal ring
Seal ring prevent oil leakage from inside of case
Rotation side (sprocket)
No Rotation side (Case)
Notes;
1. Never adopt oil on the O-Rings when assembling
2. Never hit floating seal when installing

Undercarriage
37
Undercarriage 1) Track frame
Track frame
Oscillate type
Track frame can oscillate around pivot
shaft. Mainly employed for mediumand large-sized.
<Features>
When the track of either side rides
over an obstacle, shocks are reduced.
Pivot shaft
Rigid type
Single structure made by
welding track frame and main
frame together and used for
small-sized models mainly.
<Features>
High rigidity and simple
structure.

Undercarriage 3) Link assembly
Bushing is meshed
with tooth bottom of sprocket
Grease-lubricated type (Dry type)
Oil-lubricated type (Wet type)
The space between the pin and bushing is filled
with grease for lubrication.
<Features>
○Simple structure and low cost.
○If grease decreases, the bushing and pin
come in contact, and that can cause elongation
of the link pitch.
The space between the pin and bushing is filled
with oil for lubrication.
<Features>
○Early wear of the pin and bushing is
prevented and the link pitch is not elongated.
○Oil may leak.
○Structure is complicated and cost is higher
than grease-lubricated type.
PLUS Type
(Parallel Link Undercarriage System)
Since the pin and center bushing rotates, the
outside of the bushing is worn less.
<Features>
○The wear life of the bushing is elongated
greatly. (The wear life of the bushing is
elongated to about twice, although that
depends on the jobsite)
○R & M cost can be reduced.
