Volvo EC460 overview

Engine

Engine

The engine is a low-emission, turbocharged, 4-stroke diesel engine with water cooling, direct injection and aftercooler, especially developed for excavator use. The machine can work at any job site, contributing to good fuel economy, low sound level, less wear and a longer life. Air filter: 3-stage, includes pre-cleaner. Automatic idling system: Reduces the engine speed to an idling speed when levers and pedals are not activated.


Hydraulic and electronic system

Swing system

The superstructure is swung by the means of two axial piston motors and planetary reduction units. Automatic swing holding brakes and anti-rebound valves are standard.


Hydraulic system

The hydraulic system, named “Automatic Sensing Work Mode,” is designed for high productivity, high digging capacity, high maneuvering precision and good fuel economy. The summation system, boom priority, arm priority, swing priority, and regeneration system of the arm flow are provided for the best operation. The following important functions are included in the system: Summation system: Providing full use of the pump oil flow. Boom priority: Providing priority to the boom operation for fast raising during loading or deep excavation. Arm priority: Providing priority to the arm operation for faster cycle times during leveling and for increased bucket filling factors while digging. Swing priority: Providing priority to the swing operation for faster swing during simultaneous operations. Regeneration system: Enhancing the cylinder life cycle, preventing cavitation and providing priority to other movements during simultaneous operations. Power boost: All digging and lifting forces are increased. Holding valves: Boom and arm holding valves are standard. Power Max: All function speeds are increased.


Upper Structure

Drive

Each track is powered by an automatic two-speed travel motor. The track brakes are multi-disc, spring-applied and hydraulic-released. The travel motors, brake and planetary gears are well-protected in the track frame.


Cab

Cab

Easily accessible cab with a wide door and lined with sound-absorbing material. The cab, which is supported by hydraulic dampening mounts to reduce shock and vibration, has all-around visibility. The front windshield can slide up into the ceiling, and the lower front glass can be removed. Integrated air-conditioning and heating system: The pressurized and filtered cab air is supplied by a 4-speed fan. The air is distributed via 8 vents. Ergonomic operator’s seat: The adjustable seat and control consoles move independently to accommodate the operator well. The seat has eight different adjustments and a seat belt to meet any operator’s requirement. Sound level (Preliminary): According to the Directive 86/662/EEC. Exterior noise (ISO 6395) mean value of LWA (sound power level) 106 dB(A) Operator’s position (ISO 6396) with the door closed mean value of LPA (sound pressure level) 75 dB(A)
