Hi all,
Is it normal in any model of excavator that pilot pressure vaires up to 20 bar. So say, normal is 40, once you apply full joystick movement, it drops to 20, and then slowly (maybe 2 seconds) it rises up back to 40. So in normal working mode with excavator, as multiple jostick movements are constantly applied. Pilot pressure basicaly constantly varies between 20 and 40 BAR. I had 2 cases of this recently. One on Kobelco, one on Hyundai. Excavator operators, did not report any problems in performace, I was just doing some other checks, and I noticed this. On Liebherrs that I so most of my work on, pressure varies 2 BAR max.
What could cause this sort of a problem? I did temporarely remove pilot line filters just to check if they are blocked, but no change in both cases. Is it maybe that pressure regulator is sticking in pilot system? Or did anybody have other experiences?
Thanx!!!
