B26NV and B26XLNV booms feature feed angle movement through a second rotary actuator.

FEED ANGLE

B26NV BOOMS

The movements can be divided in two main types.

3.1.1. Movements in automatic parallelism mode

After setting the original position of the drill feed according to the direction of the drift, the only use of
the following movements ensure a perfect parallelism of the holes regardless of the motion of the
drill feed.
Boom movements:
• boom lift
• boom swing
• boom extension
Feed movements:
• feed roll-over (full 360° rotation)
• feed extension

3.1.2. Parallelism setting

Following movements allow the initial setting of the drill feed.


• feed tilt
• feed swing
• divergence (extra tilt)

These last movements enable the drill feed to be placed at 90° according to the axis of the roll-over.
It is the typical position to initiate a cross cutting drift as well as drilling holes for roof bolting.

B26F - B26NV BOOMS PARALLELISM
The operator pulls the control lever of spool 9.
Oil pressurizes the large chamber of the lift cylinder.
In parallelism mode the two rod end chamber of the boom lift and feed tilt cylinder 5 are connected
in closed circuit.
Therefore the area of the two chambers must be equal. This explain the large size of the rod of the
boom lift.
Parallelism pilot line:
• From the rod end side oil is pushed out the lift cylinder.
• It enters the safety block to port 7.
• Oil flows to the rod end side of the feed tilt cylinder through the piloted check valve C7. It
gets out the block from port 8b.
Note! Due to the large ratio between working area of the lift cylinder, this line is also
connected to the safety relief valve L2. It prevents to over pressurize this line.
That could happen if the operator lifts the boom when the feed tilt cylinder 5 has been fully retracted.

Adjusting procedure
1- Retract the feed tilt cylinder and the boom extension fully.
2- Remove plug on 7t, install a hydraulic test connector, use a 600 bar gauge.

HIGH PRESSURE FLUID INJECTION HAZARD!

Pressure in the hydraulic circuit and pressurized oil jets could cause death or
serious personal injuries.

To avoid hazard described herein, release the pressure in the hydraulic circuit
before opening connections or fittings. Always release the hydraulic pressure
prior to remove the plug 7t or to put it back in place.

Operation, maintenance and adjustments are only allowed to persons with


specific training in operation and maintenance of the equipment. Read the
operating and maintenance instructions before using or servicing the
equipment.

3- Read the gauge while lifting the boom, it should show 300 bar.
4- Adjust relief valve L2 if not correct.
5- Release the hydraulic pressure, put back in place the plug onto the block 7t.

3.4. Feed tilt

For specific application it is possible to use the feed tilt individually or during initial set up, by using
the spool 5.

In the example below, we consider that the boom lift has been operated just beforehand.
Note! if the boom lift movement has been used previously, the line 7t is maintained
pressurized. It could keep the safety valve C8 open.
Line 9 ---> 9t is vented to tank from port 11 through the spool 9 to port A.

Possible trouble in diagram below


From the previous situation, the operator wants now to move the feed tilt cylinder (large chamber).
• From the feed tilt control 5, oil is directed to safety block to port 9.
• Oil flows to the large chamber of the feed tilt cylinder through the piloted check valve C6
into line 9b.
• A trapped pressure keeps the safety valve C8 opened. Line 9b is therefore vented to
tank to line 11 returning to spool 9.
• This valve releases the static pressure in line 7t, therefore valve C8 closes.

Solution: Piloted check valve C9


In this situation, the purpose of the piloted-operated check valve C9 is to release the trapped
pressure in line 7t. Every times that the operator uses the feed tilt as shown, the incoming pressure
opens first the piloted check valve C9 allowing trapped pressure to release to tank into line 10.

Rod side hydraulic circuit
• Oil, from the rod side of the tilt cylinder, flows through the safety valve, enters the safety
block in port 8b.
• It flows freely from 8b to the rod side of the lift cylinder through the opened check valve
C7.
• this line pressurizes the rod side of the lift cylinder and send pilot pressure to the safety
valve working on the large chamber.

From the large chamber return oil runs to the safety valve. A restricting needle valve allows setting
of the speed in downward motion.

Note! Both cylinders 8 are attached to the boom. When the boom swings, both cylinders are
moving.

The operator moves the lever of spool 8 sideways.

Main cylinder:
• Oil pressurizes the large chamber of the swing cylinder.
• From the rod side, oil returns to the tank through line B.

Pump cylinder:
• From the rod side oil enters the safety block in port 4.
• Out of port 4b it pressurizes the rod side of the feed swing cylinder.
• Large chambers of pump and feed swing cylinders are connected in closed loop through
the safety block, line 1<---> 1b.
• The two safety valves S1 and S2 prevent the oil to escape to the spool 4 when using
parallelism.

3.7. Feed extension

When moving the feed extension in forward direction, oil flows from the control valve in line 5 to
outlet line 5b. A relief valve prevents over-pressure in the piston side of the cylinder.

Due to the length of the rod, over pressure may result in bending of the cylinder rod.

Adjusting procedure
1- Extend the feed extension cylinder fully out.
2- Read the pressure, it should be 100 bar, adjust the relief valve if not correct.

2.3. Main components


The boom is fixed to the chassis by the boom swing cradle 1.
The extension tube 9 slides in the armature tube 4 driven by the chrome cylinder situated inside
the armature. The boom movements are controlled by the cylinders 2 and 3.
The rotation of the drill feed in relation to the boom’s axis is make wiht the rotary actuator 5
allows 360°. The rotary actuator 6 allows a 95° rotation on both sides of the drill feed’s axis.
The drill feed support 8 is fitted with a feed cylinder 7. The cylinder 10 makes the divergency
movement.
Hydraulic parallelism system enable to keep a constant drill feed’s direction while swinging the
boom on both vertical and horizontal motions. Parallelism by a vertical plane is obtained with an
hydraulic link between the master lifting cylinder 3 and the slave cylinder 11.
Parallelism by a horizontal plane is obtained with an hydraulic link between the master cylinder
12 and the slave cylinder 13.
NOTE: The master cylinder 12 is not powered, its purpose is only to acquire boom swinging
movements and keep parallelism.
The articulations are featured with adjustable expendable pin sets.

1.2 Adjusting boom circuit max. LS pressure

The pressure relief valve of the boom circuit max. LS pressure is located in
the boom valve input block (Cf. Fig.). It is adjusted in the following way:
1. Loosen the locking nut of the adjusting screw of pressure relief valve for
the max. LS pressure.
2. Turn the adjusting screw of the max. LS-pressure pressure relief valve
almost fully open (counterclockwise).
3. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 of the feed and
percussion control block.
4. Start the carrier engine (diesel).
5. Run the zoom cylinder inwards with the engine speed at 1800 rpm, and
adjust, at the same time, the boom circuit max. LS pressure to 230 bar by
turning the adjusting screw of the LS-pressure pressure relief valve
clockwise. Read the pressure in the pressure gauge installed to the
measuring point M1 of the percussion control block.
6. Stop the diesel engine and lock the adjusting screw of the LS-pressure
pressure relief valve.
7. Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point M1 of the feed
and percussion block.
Note! Check if the carrier’s hydraulic circuit has a pressure relief valve that
restricts the adjustment of the valve. If such a valve exists, adjust it
beforehand to an approx. 10 bar higher value than the pressure
setting for the boom circuit max. LS-pressure pressure relief valve.
Remember to return the carrier’s pressure relief valve to its original
setting after the adjustment.

1.3 Adjusting boom circuit max. pressure

The boom circuit max. pressure relief valve is located in the intermediate
block (Cf. Fig.). Its pressure setting is 250 bar. The valve is provided for
removing all possible pressure peaks when using boom hydraulics. The
max. pressure relief valve at the boom valve is adjusted as follows:
1. Remove the cap of the pressure regulator (B) for the variable
displacement pump (1).
2. Loosen the adjusting screw locking nut of the pressure regulator (B) for
the variable displacement pump (1).
3. Loosen the adjusting screw locking nut of the boom valve max. pressure
relief valve.
4. Turn the adjusting screw of the boom valve max. pressure relief valve
fully closed (clockwise).
5. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 of the feed and
percussion control block.
6. Start the powerpack.
7. Run, for instance, the zoom cylinder inwards and adjust, at the same
time, the system pressure to 260 bar with the pressure regulator (B) of
the variable displacement pump (1).Read the pressure in the pressure
gauge at the measuring point M1.
8. Run, for instance, the zoom cylinder inwards and adjust, next, the boom
circuit max. pressure to 250 bar. Read the pressure in the pressure
gauge at the measuring point M1.
9. Lock the adjusting screw of the boom circuit max. pressure relief valve.
10. Run, for instance, the zoom cylinder inwards and adjust the pressure
regulator (B) of the variable displacement pump (1) to 230 bar.
11. Lock the adjusting screw of the variable displacement pump pressure
regulator (B), and reinstall the cap.
12. Stop the powerpack.
13. Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point M1.

Boom control

1.4 Adjusting max. speed of boom movements

All boom valve spools are equipped with specific restrictors. These
restrictors can be used for individually adjusting the speed of each
movement. The adjustment of movement speeds should be done with the
hydraulic oil in normal drilling temperature (40-50 °C).

1.5 Boom movement not working


If a boom movement is not working, it is likely that the shuttle valve of the
load sensing line for the corresponding control block is sticking or the
functional unit is faulty. Check the condition of the shuttle valve as follows:
• Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M7 of the feed and
percussion control block.
• Start the powerpack.
• Move the control lever of the boom movement that is not working.
• If the measuring point M7 does not receive pressure, it is likely that the
load sensing line shuttle valve of the movement is sticking.
- Stop the powerpack.
- Remove the boom valve at the top of the control panel.
- Disassemble the boom valve and check the shuttle valves of all
working blocks.
- Reassemble the boom valve after cleaning and inspecting it, and
mount it back.
• If the measuring point M7 receives pressure, it is likely that the functional
device of the boom is faulty.

2 SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS


2.1 Safety

DANGER
CRUSHING HAZARD!
Unexpected machine movement will cause death or severe injury
Before removing any cylinders or their overcenter or non-return
valves, support the components carefully so that they do not move
during maintenance. Do not work under components that are
supported only by hydraulics.
Never disconnect any hydraulic hoses or valves before you make
sure that there is no static load in the system.

WARNING
IGNORING INSTRUCTIONS HAZARD!
If you do not understand any information related to your duties, you
MUST make sure that you get clarification from a person who is well
trained with regard to the task you want to do. When necessary, you
or your representative must contact a Sandvik representative to seek
clarification as to how you should do the task.
Installation, adjustment and repair work can only be carried out by a
person who has the necessary qualifications and knows the
equipment.

WARNING
MOBILE MACHINERY HAZARD!

3.2 Overcenter valves

WARNING
HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID HAZARD!
High-pressure fluid remaining in hydraulic lines could cause death
or severe injury.
Never carry out maintenance or repair work on a pressurized system.
Relieve pressure before opening fittings, plugs or hydraulic valve
cartridges. Always make sure the parts are not pressurized. Use a
bleeder screw to relieve the pressure behind the valves or
cartridges, or wait until the rig is depressurized before removing the
components.
Protect your eyes by wearing safety goggles.

Most hydraulic cylinders are equipped with overcenter valves (also known
as crossover valves). They are either built in the hydraulic cylinder or
connected to the hydraulic circuit via hydraulic hoses.

Most of the overcenter valves are one-piece components and thus cannot
be readjusted. Sets of the seal rings (1) are provided as spare parts.
The set value of the valve is stamped on the face of the valve.

ID: BG00173569 en-US E.001.1 2019-11-22
Hydraulic cylinders

The tasks of an overcenter valve are:


• If a hose connected to the hydraulic cylinder breaks, the overcenter valve
acts as a safety valve and prevents the cylinder from moving.
• During drilling, the overcenter valve prevents oil flow from the cylinder to
the tank. The boom maintains accurately the position to which it was
moved to by using the boom control valves.
• When the boom is moved, the overcenter valve does not allow oil flow
from the return side until the pressure on the pressured side rises high
enough. Boom movements are smoother and more accurate and the
boom own weight cannot accelerate the speed of movement.
• If an external force raises the pressure in the cylinder higher than the set
value of the overcenter valve, the valve opens and lets oil out of the
cylinder. This enables the boom to yield under external force and
mechanical damage to the boom can be avoided.
The set values of the overcenter valves for various purposes are different.
Therefore you must not replace an overcenter valve with one from another
cylinder. The set value of the valve is stamped on the face of the valve.

3.2.1 Removing the overcenter valve

Before starting to remove the overcenter valve make sure the structure is
mechanically supported and the cylinder is without a static load.
Before removing overcenter valves release the pressure by opening
corresponding plug (eg. AM and BM) slowly with care! Locations of the
plugs and valves depend on cylinder types.

In some cylinders there are no pressure releasing plugs. There may be


plugs for alternative fitting position, they are stamped (A) and (B). Release
the pressure by carefully loosening the overcenter valve and let the
pressure slowly escape from the cylinder.

4 CYLINDER MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR


4.1 Removal of the cylinder
Before starting to remove the cylinder, make sure that the boom is properly
supported and cylinder is without static load. Disconnect the hydraulic
hoses from the cylinder, and plug hoses and adapters.
Support and secure the cylinder so that it cannot fall down. Depending on
the cylinder pin type, either remove the circlip or locking plate. Hit the pin
out or detach expansion pin according to instructions in section "Expansion
pins".
Wash the cylinder externally and mount it securely before starting to
disassemble it.
See also cylinder manufacturer instructions.

4.2 Standard two chamber SMC cylinder


4.2.1 Disassembling the standard two chamber SMC cylinder

Standard two chamber SMC cylinder

If there is hydraulic pressure available, connect the hoses to the cylinder


and drive the piston rod out until it is almost fully extended. This will help
disassembling. Make sure that cylinder is not fully extended and there is no
remaining pressure in the hydraulic cylinder. Then disconnect the hoses
and remove the overcenter valves (3). Be aware of oil spilling.

Open the clamp screw (18) from the bracket (19).

Open the cover with a special tool. Pull out the piston rod; support it
properly in order to get it out smoothly.

Piston
Before opening the piston, heat up the piston thread area to approx.
150-200 °C.
Undo the lock nut / locking screws (if equipped), which secures the piston
to the piston rod. Remove the piston together with the seals from the piston
rod (6) with suitable tools. Slide the spacer (5) and cylinder cover (1)
carefully away from the piston rod (6) and remove all the seals and the
wiper.

Hydraulic cylinders

Inspection
Wash all components. Replace all seals and wipers. Check all sliding
surfaces. If scratches (big enough to feel with a fingernail) are found, the
components need to be replaced because the sealing ability of the surfaces
is no longer good. Also check the piston rod for straightness. If the rod is
distorted, check that it is not caused by an incorrect spacer. Check the
condition of the bearings / bushings (7) of the cylinder pins and replace
them if there are any sings of wear. Visually check the condition of the
overcenter valves (3).

Replacing of bearing bushings


If the cylinder has already been removed from the rig, support the cylinder
well, remove circlips and press the old bearings / bushings out using a
suitable drift.
The new bearing / bushings are easier to install if they are cooled in a
freezer and the cylinder eye is warmed with a torch.

4.4 Three chamber cylinders

A B Y

These instruction affects to:


• Boom swing/lift cylinders
• Feed tilt/swing cylinders
• Feed extension cylinder
These cylinders are three chamber cylinders. The cylinders have chambers
A and B, and a third chamber Y inside the hollow piston rod. When, for
instance, the boom lift cylinder length changes, the volume of the Y-
chamber changes, and the cylinder gives or takes oil from the feed tilt
cylinder, acting in this way as an essential part of the automatic parallelism
system.

4.4.1 Disassembling the three chamber cylinder

WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD!
Plugged Y-port will cause air pressurization inside the cylinder and
unexpected ejection of the cylinder parts when disassembling the
cylinder. This could cause death or severe injury.
Never plug the Y-port when the cylinder is in use or when
disassembling, assembling or bleeding the cylinder.

Note! The port Y of the hollow rod chamber, or the pump line must never
be plugged when the cylinder is in use as the Y-chamber is not
connected with the chambers A and B of the cylinder.

The basic work phases are the same as in the chapter "Disassembling the
standard two chamber SMC cylinder". Chambers A and B can be
disassembled in the same way. Seals can be different and in different order
depending on the cylinder in use.
The hollow piston rod inside the cylinder body should never be
disassembled.
Before opening the piston, heat up the piston thread area (X) to approx.
150-200 °C.

4.4.2 Assembling the three chamber cylinder


When reassembling the piston, use Loctite 271 or similar on the thread
area.
See the cylinder structure from the parts manual. There are many different
kind of cylinders. See also cylinder manufacturer instructions.
You always need a new seal kit when assembling the cylinder!
In the seal kit there may be extra seals that you do not need in your
cylinder.
To assemble the chambers A and B, refer to the chapter "Assembling the
standard two chamber SMC cylinder".

4.4.3 Bleeding/filling the three chamber cylinder

WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD!
Plugged Y-port will cause air pressurization inside the cylinder and
unexpected ejection of the cylinder parts when disassembling the
cylinder. This could cause death or severe injury.
Never plug the Y-port when the cylinder is in use or when
disassembling, assembling or bleeding the cylinder.
Strictly follow the bleeding/filling method described below!

Bleeding the chambers A and B:
Note! Do not plug the Y-port while bleeding chambers A and B!

Chambers A and B and can be bled in the same way than the two
chambers cylinders. Refer to the chapter "Bleeding the standard two
chamber SMC cylinder".
Bleeding/filling the Y-chamber:
1. Place the cylinder in a vertical position, cylinder rod straight up.
2. Open the throttle valve for bleeding (13).
3. Connect the hydraulic oil filling hose to Y-plug.
4. Fill the inner cylinder (Y-chamber) slowly with the hydraulic oil as long as
the oil is continuously flowing out from the throttle valve (13).
5. Close the throttle valve (13).

6. Place the cylinder in a horizontal position (hose connections upwards),


so that any oil is coming out from the cylinder and remove the oil filling
hose.
7. After mounting the cylinder into the rig, drive movements from end to end
to finish the bleeding.

Testing of cylinder

4.5.1 Line A, inspection


Run the piston rod completely out. Disconnect line B, and pressurize line A.
Check line B for leaking oil. If oil leaks out, one of the seals (30, 31 or 32) is
faulty.
4.5.2 Line B, inspection
Run the piston rod completely in. Disconnect line A, and pressurize line B.
Check line A for leaking. If oil leaks out, one of the seals (30, 31 or 32) is
faulty. If oil comes out between the cylinder cover and cylinder tube, the
cylinder cover seal (33) is faulty. If oil comes out between the cylinder cover
and piston rod, the rod seal (34) is faulty.

Before starting to remove the cylinder and expansion pin, make sure that
the boom or component of the boom is properly supported and cylinder is
without static load. WARNING! Static load on the expansion pin may
cause the bushing fly off when the screw is detached! Release
possible static load before removing the screw and disassembling the
expansion pin. Do not leave the expansion pin in place when the screw is
removed.
4.6.1 Disassembly and removal
1. Undo the tightening screw(s) (1).
2. Using slide hammer or similar threaded on the bushing (2), extract the
bushing.
3. Pull the pin (3) out.
4. Drive the other bushing off.

4.6.2 Installation and tightening


1. Place the pin (3) in the middle of the joint.
2. Place the conical bushings (2) on both ends of the pin.
3. Thread the tightening screw(s) (1) in place.
4. Tighten the tightening screw(s).
• One-screw pin: Tighten the screw to the correct torque. Observe at
the same time that the pin remains in the middle of the joint.
• Two-screw pin: Thread the screws alternately until they are at the
correct torque. Do not torque the screws one at a time, as this can
cause the pin to move and the other end of the pin can remain
without proper support. When tightening, check that the pin remains
in the middle of the joint.
