The compact control blocks of type M9 serve, first of all, for

the control of standard functions in crawler excavators or
mobile excavators, like boom, bucket, travel drive, arm and
swing in a dual-circuit hydraulic system.
In this connection, particularly value was put on the fact that
the multiplicity of possible parallel movements of a hydraulic
excavator of the driver are to be controlled at any time well,
comfortably and without high concentration effort with optimal
power demand.

Function
Control block M9-25
The control block basically consists of the housing, control
spools with return springs (1), built-in primary cartridge
valves (2) and secondary cartridge valves (3) as well as
load-holding valves (4).
Pilot control of consumer
Connected to pump P1 are usually travel drive right (spool
axis 3), swing (spool axis 2) and arm (spool axis 1).
The arm movement has a reduced influence on the swing
movement compared to a parallel control. Therefore a semi
priority of the swing is achieved by control of swing and arm
section. The flow fluctuations of the swing as a result of the
parallel movement which a felt by the driver as unpleasant
are minimized.
Connected to pump P2 are usually travel drive left (spool
axis 4), boom (spool axis 5), bucket (spool axis 6) and
option (spool axis 7).
By the chosen control a sufficient supply of the boom
function is ensured during parallel movements with the
load-lower bucket function. Thereby a stop of the boom is
prevented.
The option section integrated in the block (spool axis7) is
bound-in parallel to the boom. Other option sections can be
flanged lateral whereat the connection of the pump is carried
out via the parallel channel (8).

Summation
There is one summation valve in both loops. These enable
an internal supply of the functions boom lifting (11) and arm
in/out (12) with two pumps.
Inlet section
By means of the inlet section (15) the flow distribution is
determined during the parallel movements travel/equipment.
Via the inlet section the pump P1 is swiched on both travel
drive sections during parallel movement and pump P2 is
switched on the equipment via the parallel channels of both
loops.
