1. Product Overview
TheVolvo 55 Swing Motor Assembly PCR-4B-20A-FPis a core component of the swing system for Volvo EC55 series excavators, responsible for driving the rotation of the upper structure (cab, boom, etc.). The model numberPCR-4B-20A-FPindicates its design version, displacement, and interface compatibility, tailored for medium-sized hydraulic excavators.

2. Core Functions
• Swing Drive: Converts hydraulic energy into mechanical rotational energy, enabling ±360° continuous rotation of the excavator’s upper structure.
• Load Control: Integrated brake valve and damping device reduce impact during startup/stoppage, enhancing operational stability.
• Sealing Design: Features dual-lip seals and dust-proof rings to prevent hydraulic oil leakage and contamination ingress.

4. Structural Components
(1) Hydraulic Motor Body
• Cylinder Block & Piston Group: 7 axial-piston units with high-strength alloy steel (e.g., 42CrMo4), hard-chrome plated (≥850 HV).
• Port Plate: Copper-based alloy (ZQSn6-6-3) with dual-kidney oil passages for optimized high/low-pressure switching.
• Bearing System: Tapered roller bearings (model 32010) for combined axial/radial load support.
(2) Brake Assembly
• Spring Brake: Disc spring set provides 1,200 N·m braking torque; hydraulic release requires ≥18 bar pressure.
• Damping Valve: Built-in to limit pressure shock during swing startup/stoppage (≤50 bar).
(3) Sealing System
• Shaft Seal: Fluororubber (FKM) dual-lip seal, resistant to -40°C–+150°C.
• Dust Wiper: Polyurethane (PU) scraper ring to prevent particle ingress.

【表格】
Symptom Possible Causes Solutions
Weak Swing/Slow Speed Hydraulic oil contamination, brake not released, internal leakage Replace hydraulic oil, check brake pressure, replace seals
Swing Vibration Worn port plate, piston seizure Grind port plate, clean/replace pistons
Abnormal Noise Bearing failure, gear misalignment Replace bearings, inspect brake gears
Oil Leakage Aged shaft seal, cracked housing Replace shaft seal, weld-repair housing

6. Maintenance Recommendations
• Routine Inspection: Check oil level, seal condition, and brake pressure every 500 hours.
• Oil Requirements: Use ISO VG46 anti-wear hydraulic oil with cleanliness ≤ NAS 1638 Class 9.
• Replacement Intervals: Seals every 2,000 hours; bearings inspected every 4,000 hours.
• Storage Conditions: Fill with hydraulic oil during long-term storage (-20°C–+60°C).
