TM 5-3895-373-201.21.1. Auger/ConveyorHydraulicSystem.Theauger/ conveyor drive system consists of electricalcontrols on both the left and right screed control panels,control switches on the operator switch panel,auger/conveyor control valve, speed control valve, leftand right auxiliary hydraulic pumps, and feed limitswitches. The left and right auger/conveyor controlcircuits are identical. The following description applies toboth sides.Electrical power for the auger/conveyor drive system isfrom CB6 to the screed control panel. The feeder controlswitch on the screed control panel passes the current tothe auger/ conveyor switch on the operator switch panel.The three position switch on the operator switch panelallows for manual control, automatic control, and an offposition.When the feeder control switch on the screed controlpanel is turned on, and the auger/conveyor reversecontrol switch is in normal, power is sent to theauger/conveyor switch on the operator switch panel.With MAN selected on the auger/ conveyor switch, theauger/conveyor control valve forward solenoid isactuated and positions the auger/ conveyor control valve.When the auger/conveyor switch on the operator switchpanel is placed up, "AUTO" position, power is sent to thefeed limit switch mounted on the end gate of the screed.When an insufficient amount of paving material is in theauger chamber the limit switch will be closed. Thisallows power to pass through the limit switch andenergize the auger/conveyor control valve forwardsolenoid. The solenoid is energized and the valve shiftsto the forward position. When the paving materialreaches a sufficient level in the auger chamber, thepaving material actuates the feed limit switch. Thecurrent path to the auger/conveyor control valve forwardsolenoid is broken. The auger/conveyor control valveforward solenoid is deenergized and the valve returns tothe center, off, position.For reverse operation of the auger/conveyor system, thefeeder control switch on the screed control panel mustbe in the center OFF position. This removes power fromthe auger/conveyor control valve forward solenoid.When the auger/conveyor reverse control switch isplaced in the up,REVERSE position, power is sent to the auger/conveyorcontrol valve reverse solenoid. The solenoid energizesand repositions the valve to the reverse position.Hydraulic oil for the auger/conveyor drive system issupplied by the auxiliary hydraulic pumps. The left andright auxiliary hydraulic pumps each consist of twopumps, a 0.7 and a 0.58 cu in. (11,5 and 9,5 cc) output,mounted on a common shaft. The 0.7 cu in. (11,5 cc)pump on each side supplies hydraulic oil to therespective sides auger/conveyor drive system. The 0.58cu in. (9,5 cc) pump on the left auxiliary hydraulic pumpprovides oil to a 50/50 flow divider. The flow dividersplits the output of the pump and delivers half of the flowto each side of the auger/conveyor drive system. Thehydraulic oil from the hydraulic pumps is sent to a speedcontrol valve and a test manifold. The test manifoldallows the measuring of pressure on the outlet of thehydraulic pumps. The speed control valve is anadjustable relief valve. The valve regulates the speed ofauger/conveyor drive motor by regulating the pressure ofthe hydraulic oil sent to the motor. Excess hydraulic oilfrom the speed control valve is relieved to the returnmanifold.The output of the speed control valve is sent to theauger/ conveyor control valve. The control valve isprotected by a 2750 psi (18 961 kPa) relief valve internalto the control valve. The control valve is equipped withtwo solenoids to position it for forward and reverse.When neither solenoid is energized, the control valve isin the center, off, position. The input and return ports arecross connected allowing hydraulic oil entering the valveto go immediately out the return port to the returnmanifold. When the forward solenoid is energized, thecontrol valve is positioned to the forward position. Thisposition sends the incoming hydraulic oil to the forwardport on the auger/ conveyor drive motor, causing themotor to rotate in the forward direction. When thereverse solenoid is energized, the valve is repositionedto the reverse position. The control valve sends theincoming hydraulic oil to the reverse port on the hydraulicmotor, causing the motor to turn in the reverse direction.The output shaft on the auger/conveyor drive motor isattached to a drive sprocket wheel and chain. The chaindrive system allows the hydraulic motor to provide themechanical power for both the conveyor and augersystems.1-42
