How to Adjust a Hydraulic Pump Output Pressure
Hydraulic pumps are crucial components in construction machinery, powering various functions such as lifting, digging, and moving equipment. Proper adjustment of the hydraulic pump’s output pressure is vital to ensure your equipment operates efficiently and safely. This guide will help you understand the process of adjusting hydraulic pump output pressure for optimal performance.
Introduction to Hydraulic Pump Output Pressure
Adjusting the hydraulic pump's output pressure is an essential maintenance task. It ensures that the hydraulic system functions correctly and can sustain the demands placed on it by heavy machinery like excavators. Precise pressure adjustments help prevent hydraulic system failures, inefficient operations, and potential safety hazards.
At Kyotechs, established in 2009, we provide a full range of parts for excavators from brands such as Hitachi, Sany, Kawasaki, Volvo, Hyundai, Doosan, Komatsu, Caterpillar, Case, and Kobelco. Our offerings include hydraulic pumps and parts, engine assemblies, and more, making us your one-stop solution for excavator and engine repair needs.
Understanding Hydraulic Pressure Adjustment
Before proceeding with the adjustment, it’s essential to comprehend how hydraulic pressure functions. The pressure in a hydraulic system is created by the pump forcing hydraulic fluid through the system. The resistance that the fluid encounters creates pressure, enabling the system to perform work.
Why Adjust the Output Pressure?
1. Ensure System Efficiency: Over-pressurization can lead to excessive wear and tear, while under-pressurization can result in insufficient power.
2. Prevent Damage: Excessive pressure can damage hydraulic components, leading to costly repairs.
3. Safety: Correct pressure settings prevent accidents and ensure operator safety.
Steps to Adjust the Hydraulic Pump Output Pressure
1. Identify the Current Pressure:
- Locate the pressure relief valve on your hydraulic system.
- Use a pressure gauge to measure the current hydraulic pressure.
2. Preparation:
- Ensure the machinery is turned off and all safety protocols are followed.
- Refer to the equipment’s manual for the recommended pressure settings.
3. Adjust the Pressure Relief Valve:
- Slightly loosen the locknut on the valve using a wrench.
- Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease it.
- Make small adjustments and recheck the pressure using the gauge.
4. Testing:
- Once the desired pressure is achieved, tighten the locknut.
- Turn on the machinery and test its operation under load to confirm the pressure settings are correct.
5. Final Checks:
- Observe the hydraulic system for any irregularities, such as vibrations or unusual noises.
- Re-measure the pressure to ensure it remains stable during operation.
Common Mistakes and Tips
- Avoid Over-Adjustment: Making large adjustments at once can lead to system instability.
- Regular Maintenance: Periodically check the system’s pressure to catch and rectify issues early.
- Professional Assistance: If in doubt, seek professional help. Kyotechs offers comprehensive hydraulic repair solutions to ensure your machinery functions optimally.
FAQs
1. What tools are needed for adjusting hydraulic pump pressure?
Basic tools like wrenches and a pressure gauge are essential. Always refer to your machinery's specific manual for additional tool requirements.
2. How often should I check the hydraulic pressure?
Regularly inspect the hydraulic pressure during routine maintenance checks or when any performance issues are suspected.
3. Can I adjust the pressure myself, or should I hire a professional?
While basic adjustments can be handled in-house, consulting a professional is recommended if you’re uncertain or unfamiliar with the process.

FAQS
What to do if the excavator engine overheats?
Engine overheating may be caused by low coolant levels, clogged cooling system, or water pump failure. Check the coolant level, clean the radiator, inspect the water pump and fan, and replace faulty parts as necessary.
What are the reasons why the excavator can rotate when starting, but cannot start?
1.There is no oil in the fuel tank.
2.The fuel filter and oil-water separator are blocked.
3.The low-pressure oil circuit does not supply oil.
4.The injection pump does not pump oil.
5.There is air in the oil circuit.
6.The valve timing is misaligned. The opening time of the valve is not coordinated with the stroke of the piston in the cylinder. For example, when the piston makes a compression stroke in the cylinder, the intake and exhaust valves are open, and fresh air is driven out of the cylinder, so that there is no combustion gas in the cylinder and it cannot start.
7.The solenoid valve of the injection pump is broken and is in a closed state, and the diesel cannot enter the high-pressure chamber.
Why does the exhaust pipe emit blue smoke?
When the engine replaces new piston rings, pistons or cylinder liners, due to the initial poor running-in, it is easy for the engine oil to enter the combustion chamber and burn, producing blue smoke. This phenomenon can generally be gradually eliminated after running for 8-10 hours.
(1) The oil level in the oil pan is too high.
(2) The engine oil in the air filter leaks into the combustion chamber from the intake pipe and burns.
(3) The piston ring is bonded to the piston ring groove by carbon deposits, causing the engine oil to leak into the cylinder and burn.
(4) The piston ring is excessively worn, or when several piston rings are installed, the opening gap has been matched.
(5) The matching clearance between the piston and the cylinder liner is too large.
(6) The piston ring is not elastic enough.
How to prevent hydraulic pump failure?
The way to prevent hydraulic pump failure includes regular maintenance, keeping the hydraulic oil clean, regularly changing filters, and avoiding overload operation.
What liquid should be added to the battery (battery) used normally in the excavator after the liquid level drops? Why?
Distilled water should be added. Because the battery will generate heat during the charging and discharging process, the water will evaporate, and the specific gravity of the electrolyte will increase. After adding distilled water, the specific gravity of the electrolyte can be restored.
