Travel Parking Brake

SMCS - 4267

The travel parking brake is built into the travel motor. When the oil delivery from the pump flows to the travel motor, the parking brake releases and the travel motor starts rotating.
When no oil delivery flows to the travel motor, the rotation of the travel motor stops and the travel parking brake engages. For more information concerning the operation of the travel
motor, refer to Systems Operation, "Travel Motor".

In the parking brake section of the travel motor, separator plates (10) are splined to housing (7). Friction plates (9) are splined to barrel (8).

When the travel lever/pedal is returned to the NEUTRAL position, the oil delivery from the pump is blocked at the travel control valve in the main control valve. Valve (16) moves to the
right by the force of spring (15). The oil delivery from the pump does not flow through valve (16). The force of the oil pressure on the left side of brake piston (13) now becomes lower
than the force of brake spring (6). The brake piston is pushed slowly to the left by the force of the brake spring. The oil in piston chamber (12) now flows through passage (14) and
passage (5). The oil flows through orifice (18) and into the valve of the motor case drain line. Friction plates (9) and separator plates (10) are forced together by the force of brake spring
(6). Friction plates (9) are splined to barrel (8). Separator plates (10) are splined to housing (7). When the separator plates and the friction plates are forced together, the rotation of drive
shaft (3) in the travel motor gradually slows to a stop as the parking brake engages.

Orifice (18) restricts return oil flow from piston chamber (12). The restriction of the return oil flow delays the application of the parking brake. The parking brake is delayed in order to
give the machine time to stop. Earlier wear and/or damage to the machine could result if the machine stayed in motion.

When a travel lever/pedal is moved from the NEUTRAL position, the oil delivery from the pump flows to the inlet port of the travel motor from the travel control valve in the main
control valve. A portion of the oil delivery from the pump flows through port (2). Valve (16) moves to the left against the force of spring (15). The oil then flows through passages (5)
and (14) to piston chamber (12). Brake piston (13) moves to the right against the force of brake spring (6). The spring force that is holding friction plates (9) and separator plates (10)
together is released. Barrel (8) and drive shaft (3) start to rotate.
