4/24 2-speed valve | Hägglunds VTCA 600
Bosch Rexroth AB, RE 15389/02.2018
3 Functional description
3.1 General
Hägglunds Compact CA 50-210 motors in 2-speed
configuration in combination with VTCA 600 valve can shift
displacement from full to half displacement while running
up to 30 rpm and high pressure maximum 105 bar.
Displacement shift from half to full displacement is not
allowed while the motor is rotating.
Shifting from full to half displacement means that 25% of
the pistons are provided with high pressure and 75% of the
pistons are provided with low pressure. This resulting in
twice the speed and half the output torque compared to
full displacement. The valve can be mounted directly onto
the motor and can be used in both open and closed loop
systems.
When ordering a motor prepared for 2-speed function the
main rotation, clockwise (R) or counter clockwise (L), has
to be specified. With wrong direction, load on the piston
will be increased 3 times, which can give overheating of the
pistons.
With the flow inlet connected to P (A-port on motor), the
motor shaft rotates in the directions shown by arrows. (see
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) R-motor rotates clockwise, and L-motor
counter-clockwise, viewed from the motor shaft side. If the
motor is working in half displacement, and in reversed
”direction of rotation”, is the allowed pressure max 210 bar
(3000 psi).
For higher speed, two valves can be used, one standard
valve and one S-index 05 valve (mirrored inverted).
Maximum operating pressure is 350 bar (5076 psi) and
maximum flow 600 l/min (158 gpm). When using a 2-speed
motor, check the system temperature due to higher
pressure loss, flushing may be necessary and 2-speed
applications for motors with reduced displacements are not
recommended.
The valve is available in five main configurations:
• VTCA 600 0 H: Hydraulic operated displacement
shift.
• VTCA 600 0 H S-index 05: Hydraulic operated
displacement shift. Two valves.
• VTCA 600 0 E: Electric operated displacement shift,
24 VDC.
• VTCA 600 E S-index 05: Electric operated
displacement shift, 24 VDC. Two valves.
• VTCA 600 B E: Electric operated displacement shift
with brake control function, 24 VDC.
