HRU_Bricks Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Lego really needs to release some more info on this model because the forum is going sideways fast Quote

I think it was already mentioned in the forum, and also my oppinion: You can build a face showel (Model A) and a backhoe variant (Model B). Like the 42082, the main chassis would stay the same, just the arm is built differently. Quote

Samer Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 For B model we are limited in choices by no wheels and no strings. I think that leaves not many options, such as another excavator or some LEGO fantasy "Futuristic ...." model. Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted March 30, 2019 Author Posted March 30, 2019 I think Liebherr Mine Dump Truck will appear in the near future to be a complementary set with the excavator. Quote

Fieldtest Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 I'm hoping for the PR776 as well, that would be just brilliant. Another hoe with the reversed bucket IMHO is not really pushing TLG design team is it.. In any case I'm looking forward to obtaining the instructions and purchasing the new control system- as I already have large investments in technic pieces and bricks.. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted March 30, 2019 Author Posted March 30, 2019 Does anyone know why the front sprockets are covered but the rear sprockets have some kinda discs attached to it? Quote
Samer Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 To work with the excavator the dumper has to be a big build. So its not realistic to think it would be included. I agree it may come later as another utilization of the license agreement. It is going to be a very nice looking big truck. Quote

The rear sprockets will be the hydraulic drive for the tracks. It will be exposed to gain access and maintenance. It probably weighs 2 tons easy Quote

It probably weighs 2 tons easy Yes I agree. The rear sprockets are exposed to check and fill the hydraulic fluid. The front is equipped with a large roller and doesnt need any maintenance other than when it wears out and needs replacing but not very often. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted March 30, 2019 Author Posted March 30, 2019 How does hydraulic drive the tracks though? Quote

With hydromotors Acutally ALL Excavators, Cranes, Bulldozers, large mining trucks etc etc have the motor(s) drive an hydraulic pump(s) with the generated oilpressure is all mechanic action driven, actuators as wel as motors most large locomotives use the same system Edited March 30, 2019 by coinoperator Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted March 30, 2019 Author Posted March 30, 2019 I mean like, the way I imagine hydraulics is that oil is pumped into a cylinder and presses the cylinder to expand or retract. I still can't imagine how that transfers into circular motion to drive locomotion. Quote

Inside the rear sprockets are the Hydraulic motors while the front sprockets are passive. not sure about the front or rear but they are different. Edited March 30, 2019 by coinoperator Quote

Typically the hydraulic pumps are external with hoses going from the pumps to the cylinders, turntable, drive sprockets etc.. unless liebherr states in there technical manuals that the pumps are internal..

coinoperator Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 2 hours ago, Fieldtest said: check and fill the hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic fluid is not checked and filled. These machines have an automated oil level control and thats NOT located at the drivemotors or actuators but near the pumps and buffertank The motors have a fixed level of hydraulic fluid but the actuators are during expansion filled with a large amount of it Thus there is somewhere a LARGE supply of this in what is called the buffer tank In a machine like the R9800 this will be a real HUGE tank cause is will have to contain all the expansion fluid for ALL actuators so no level control like a engine :-) Just now, Fieldtest said: Typically the hydraulic pumps are external with hoses going from the pumps to the cylinders, turntable, drive sprockets etc.. unless liebherr states in there technical manuals that the pumps are internal.. The pump is directly mounted to the engine the fluid goes to all external drive systems please don't post wrong info here Quote

I work in this industry using a 390f and 973k and the sprocket fluid level here are checked and filled right at the sprocket. There is also a hydraulic tank for expansion, contraction and fill. Quote
coinoperator Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) I suppose that the level you are talking about is the lubrication system. This is a separate system and that one is indeed located at the wheels etc. If that level goes low or drops away the bearing will be damaged in no time, same as the crank in your car, no oil pressure is game over in seconds. Actually these bearings float on oil and don't even touch each other. The hydraulic level however goes up and down in the buffer while the machine is operated there is some level control yes but you understand that this level is quite dynamic and can only be seen at the buffer.

technicbuilder Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) I will help here a bit for explenation ,as a mechanic for Hyundai construction equipment . As some spoke here ,all hydraulic excavators are driven and operated by hydraulic oil ,cilinders will operated by yoystick control ,oil deliverd by hydraulic pump with reguleted flow thru the main control valve . The tracks are driven by an hydraulic motor oil flow com's from main control valve controlled by two levers ,same principal as pump with swash plate where you can regulate the flow . Oil fom upper structure to the drive motors go's thru a central device . The Liebherr model that's build from Lego techic is in real life a machine that's powerd with electric power .
