CAT D6R/D6H Bulldozer Steering Pump / Work Pump (HPR105) Detailed Analysis
I. Core Parameters & Technical Specifications
1. Basic Parameters
• Pump Model: HPR105 (Linde series hydraulic piston pump, suitable for construction machinery such as bulldozers and concrete pump trucks).
• Operating Flow: Main work pump maximum flow rate ≈ 214 L/min (for D6R); chassis hydraulic pump flow requires configuration-specific calibration.
• Pressure Setting: System relief valve typically rated at 20–35 MPa (refer to equipment manual); HPR105 features a factory-preset pressure relief valve (non-adjustable by non-professionals).
• Fluid Requirements: Recommended use of Cat-specific hydraulic oil (e.g., Cat HYDO Advanced); compatibility must meet ISO 46/68 viscosity grades and pass Vickers 35VQ25A bench test validation for anti-wear performance.
2. Structural Features
• Type: Piston-type hydraulic pump with precision cylinder block, piston assembly, and swashplate design for high-pressure, high-flow output.
• Installation Compatibility: Rear motor plate mounting; requires drive shaft alignment (axial clearance ≤ 0.005 mm); installation mandates lubricant application to reduce metal friction and pre-fill hydraulic oil for air purging.
• Sealing System: Dual-lip shaft seal + O-ring combination to prevent oil leakage and external contaminant intrusion.
II. Installation & Maintenance Guidelines
1. Installation Key Points
• Rotation Direction: Counter-clockwise (CCW) when viewed from the pump rear; incorrect direction risks pump damage.
• Shaft Connection: Drive shaft must insert ≥ 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) into the pump shaft to avoid "bottoming"; torque wrench tightening per specifications.
• Hydraulic Connections: Suction port requires a 10 μm filter; return lines must avoid sharp bends to ensure smooth oil circulation.
2. Routine Maintenance
• Fluid Testing: Regular sampling (e.g., every 500 hours) for viscosity, acidity, moisture, and particle contamination; oil change interval typically 2000 hours or per manual.
• System Purging: Manual rotation of pump shaft pre-startup to evacuate air; monitor via sight glass for bubbles. Address abnormal noise/pressure fluctuations by checking suction line integrity.
• Seal Inspection: Axial seal and O-ring checks every 1000 hours; replace if aged; avoid sharp tools on sealing surfaces.
3. Troubleshooting
• Insufficient Pressure: Check suction filter blockage, internal wear paths, or low relief valve settings; use pressure gauges for diagnostics.
• Abnormal Noise: Causes may include cavitation (insufficient suction), bearing wear, or piston seizure; disassemble and replace damaged components.
• Oil Leakage: Inspect shaft seal, pipe joints, and pump body welds; repair with specialized sealants or replacement seals.
