The pumps are also variable displacement. I see what your saying. I don’t know how they accomplish 2000 lbs.
Here is the best picture I have of the pumps.
Not sure if you can see, but there are two giant lines, (One visible here), two medium lines, (one visible here), and the pilot lines.
When I say I have 500 lbs., it maybe 350 because my guage is so large of a scale. 0-10,000. The needle sweep for 0-500 is about 1/8”, so very difficult to say with accuracy.
I was under the impression that the charge pump is internally regulated to the 350. Maybe it is regulated to 2000 internally and externally regulated down further for brakes and pilot system. Of course, I removed so much shit when I was “simplifying” it, I might have removed some kind of regulator. (Although I don’t remember anything like that) The thing is, I’m getting the 350-500 right now, so it must be regulated to that somewhere.
When the engine is idling, I show no pressure on the gauge. When I rev it up, it goes to approximately 450. It I rev it higher, it never goes any higher on the gauge.
I need to correct something. I was using your cylinder force as lift pounds in my last post. That is not correct because the swing arms have leverage on those cylinders.
I would have to do some math to figure cylinder force to lift force. Also, I was using the approximate wt. of the machine, but the tires and swing arm would not be part of the calculation because they are not being lifted. Those sob’s have got to be heavy.
