Operation mode: Reversing operation (S3)
Variable delivery pump (Power regulator plus Load-Sensing regulator)
Control block NG 30-E-LS
GENERAL

Operation mode S3, also called reversing operation, means that the electric motor and thus also the pump are
operated in clockwise rotary sense as well as anticlockwise rotary sense, thus influencing the opening and closing
motion of the grab.
This grab is equipped with a power-regulated axial piston pump with additional load-sensing regulator (LS).
The power regulator of the pump is adjusted to the maximum drive motor power output, i.e. depending on the drive
power, the output of the pump is continuously adjusted to the power output of the drive motor as the operating
pressure continues to increase after having exceeded a certain level. Thus, the hydraulic power, the product of pump
output and pressure, remains constant.
The load-sensing regulator, for short LS regulator, only serves as „min./max.-regulator“. Via the LS regulator the
pump recognizes that:
1. A consumer has been connected and the pump must switch to max. output,
2. A system pressure preset at the pressure relief valve (DV1 or DV2) has been reached and the pump
has to change down towards "zero-lift regulation", so that only as much hydraulic fluid is displaced as is necessary
for compensating the gap leakage in pump and system.

 Closing procedure:
As soon as the drive motor M is started, the hydraulic pump P sucks hydraulic oil via
nonreturn valve RV4 out of the tank and pumps it into pressure line P1.

The oil flows via nonreturn valve R1 and line A into the piston rod sides KSS of
the lifting cylinders. At the same time, the pilot controlled stop valve SV2 is
opened via control line St2. The oil returning from the piston sides KS can now
return to the tank via SV2, tank line T and filter F.

The maximum pressure in pipe A is controlled by the pressure relief valve DV1.
As soon as the maximum pressure (preset at DV1) is reached, the output of pump
P is reduced (see paragraph "Power regulation").
When the drive motor is switched off, the nonreturn valves R1, R2 and the pilot
controlled stop valves SV1, SV2 avoid automatic opening or closing of the grab.

Opening procedure:

As soon as the drive motor M is started, the hydraulic pump P sucks hydraulic oil
via nonreturn valve RV3 out of the tank and pumps it into pressure line P2.

The oil flows via the nonreturn valve R2 and pipe B into the piston sides KS of the
lifting cylinders. On extension of the cylinders, the oil flowing off the piston rod
sides KSS via pipe A then flows via the stop valve SV1 opened by the control line
St1 to pipe B and additionally fills piston side KS (quick-motion mode). During the
opening procedure no oil returns to the tank.

The maximum pressure in pipe B is controlled by the pressure relief valve DV2. As
soon as the maximum pressure (preset at DV2) is reached, the output of the pump
P is reduced (see under „General“).

Rattling of the shells:
In order to avoid a rattling of the shells during the closing procedure, the
pilot-controlled nonreturn valve SV should be slightly throttled (setting by
means of adjusting screws,).

ATTENTION ! SV must not be closed too much to avoid extreme

heating of the oil.
ATTENTION ! During load-lifting it must be observed that the grab is closed until the lifted load is suspended safely in the scoops when lifting
the grab.

DV1 = closing

Security valves RV3; RV4:

The complete hydraulic system is protected by the security valves (RV3; RV4). The security valves must always be set approx. 30 - 50 bar higher than the
system pressure valves (DV1, DV2). Normally they are set at 280 bar ex works and should never be adjusted.

Pressure gauge connections:

The system pressures can be checked at the provided measuring points (pressure values see data sheet).

Operating and maintenance instructions for cable reeling drum
type KFM 8/600/11 Bo

The cable drum consists of the following components:

a) - electric motor
b) - turbo coupling
c) - spur gear
d) - drum body
e) - brake

b
Operation
During grab operation, the driving motor 27 is always running with rated speed, while the turbo coupling 17 is
entirely absorbing the slip which is necessary for cable drums. Turbo coupling and electric motor are designed
for 100 percent continuous running.

ATTENTION! Do not synchronize with hoisting and lowering the grab.

The driving shaft of the turbo coupling is constantly running at the motor's rated speed. The driven shaft of the
turbo coupling transmits the torque to the drum body via spur gear and this in the same rotation sense as the
cable is winding up. When the cable is unwinding, the driven shaft of the turbo coupling is running in the
rotation sense opposite to the driving motor and the driving shaft of the turbo coupling.

Operation
During grab operation, the driving motor 07 is always running with rated speed, while the turbo coupling
05 is entirely absorbing the slip which is necessary for rope drums. Turbo coupling and electric motor
are designed for 100 percent continuous running.

ATTENTION! Do not synchronize with hoisting and lowering the grab.

The driving shaft of the turbo coupling is constantly running at the motor's rated speed. The driven shaft
of the turbo coupling transmits the torque to the drum body via spur gear and this in the same rotation
sense as the cable is winding up. When the cable is unwinding, the driven shaft of the turbo coupling is
running in the rotation sense opposite to the driving motor and the driving shaft of the turbo coupling.

a) Connecting the rope to be wound up

Introduce the untwisted rope through the interior of the drum body and fasten it by strain-relief clamp.
Before winding up the rope, adding 2 safety windings.

ATTENTION! Do not wind up rope when brake is not released.

b) Operation of brake
The solenoid-operated spring pressure brake prevents the rope from winding off when motor is turned
off. The brake is to be synchronized with the motor. When starting the motor, the springloaded disk is
lifted from the brake disk and the brake is released. When cutting off the circuit, the springloaded disk is
pressed towards the brake disk and the brake is put on.

ATTENTION! The braking is to be adjusted in a way that no rope can wind off by itself, if the equipment
is out of operation. On the other hand, the adjustment shall allow the drum body to be turned manually,
if the motor is turned off.

GENERAL:

The Peiner Grab Type MOTOR DUAL SCOOP GRAB ( MZG )

is equipped with 7 measuring points.
Which are as follows:

MP2

Cylinder

MP1

MLS MA MB
CLOSING PRESSURE:

LOAD SENSING (LS) PRESSURE

•MP1 – PUMP working Pressure

•Pressure produced by the pump, limited by the pressure
•release valve DV1 for"closing".
•The pressure finally has to be checked and adjusted by
•measuring at this point.
•The pressure can only be checked if the pump is running.

MA - SYSTEM pressure –
OPENING (QUICK RUN MOTION)
& CLOSING
Pressure in the hydraulic lines.
Due to physical rules, the pressure measured here is
approx. 30 to 40 bar higher than the pressure actually
produced by the pump.
Pressure can be checked if the Motor is stopped.

MLS – Pressure for the PUMP

regulator
Pressure in the load-sensing signal line to the load-
sensing regulator of the pump. The pressure measured
here is approx. 20 to 30 bar higher than the pressure
actually produced by the pump.
•The pressure can only be checked if the pump is
running

NOTE!
The Working Pressure has to be checked and adjusted at operating
temperature of the Hydraulic system with has to be approx between
30 and 60 °C.
Due to technical reasons the measured pressure as well as the rated
current of the grab motor at a “cold” system is higher then the declared
and factory-adjusted pressure.

Carry out a test run with the Grab to heat up the system to the operation
temperature before you make any new pressure settings.

All working pressure settings are done by measuring the

pressure at the measuring point:

MP1 for closing pressure

MP2 for opening pressure
 The adjusted working pressure is declared at the type label which is assembled at the
upper traverse.And in the MACHINERY DATA CARD which you can find in the
DOKUMENTATION of our Grab.

CLOSING Pressure
Checked and adjusted via
messuring point MP1

OPENING Pressure

Pressure adjustment is done at the control block:

Opening pressure: Pressure release valve DV2

•The adjustment itself is to be done as follows:

1. Connect a pressure gauge to measuring point MP1 resp. MP2.

2. Check the existing pressure (operation into closing resp. opening direction).

3. Lower pressure = Loosen the counter nut at DV1 resp. DV2 and turn the
adjustment screw to the left (anti-clockwise).

4. Then check the pressure and secure the adjustment screw.

5. Raise pressure = Loosen the counter nut at DV1 resp. DV2 and turn the
adjustment screw to the right (clockwise).

6. Then check the pressure and secure the adjustment screw.

NOTE!
NEW Control Blocks are not Factory adjusted.
Before you put them into operation you have to loosen
the counter nut at DV1 resp. DV2 and turn the
adjustment screw to the left (anti-clockwise) 4 times
around.

 Repair description:
Note: This test can only be carried out in closed
grab position due to the
QUICK RUN ACTION of the grab both lines A and
B are under pressure if grab is open.

Repair sequence:
1. hang the grab in the crane

2. connect the cable

3. close the grab slightly

4. connect the manometer at

measuring point MA
5. disconnect the Hydraulic hoses
which are assembled at the cylinder bottom

6. collect oil which is temporally coming

out of the connection

5.
 8.

7. by using the grabs hydraulic

close the grab.

8. check if oil is leaking out

of the bolted joint of the cylinder

9. if not check if pressure rise down at the manometer

⇒ internal leakage must be inside the control block.

10. if oil is coming out of the cylinder

⇒ sealing rings or tube must be damaged or worn out.
If oil is coming out of the cylinder
⇒sealing rings or tube must be damaged or worn out.
