Operating Manual Motor Clamshell Grab Construction and function 14 of 64
3.2 Function
The motor grab is an electro-hydraulic grab. An electric motor drives the pump, which
then generates pressure in the hydraulic system.
The hydraulic cylinders that are attached to the grab crossbeam and the grab shell are
moved by the hydraulic drive unit; this opens or closes the motor grab.
The movement direction change is achieved by switching the control valve, with the
electrical signals for opening and closing of the motor grab being sent by the crane.
The required electrical control devices are part of the crane control and are not part of
the delivery of the motor grab.
Once the open motor grab is freely hanging on the holding rope, a throttle check valve
prevents that the grab shells accelerate due to their dead weight when closing is
initiated.
3.3 Course of action

The following designations are found in the hydraulic circuit diagram (see chapter 15.2,
Hydraulic circuit diagram on page 56).
Grab opening
The pump conveys the hydraulic oil from the oil tank to the control valve. From the
control valve the hydraulic oil flows across the throttle check valve MK 20 through the
line B to the cylinder ring surface.
The motor grab opens.
The hydraulic oil from the opposite side flows across the control valve back into the oil
tank.
When the pressure in the hydraulic system reaches 220 bar, the hydraulic oil flows
through the pressure disconnection valve back into the oil tank.
Grab closing
The pump conveys the hydraulic oil from the oil tank to the control valve. From the
control valve, the hydraulic oil flows through the line A to the cylinder piston surface.
The motor grab closes.
The hydraulic oil from the opposite side flows across the throttle check valve MK 20 and
through the control valve back into the oil tank.
When the pressure in the hydraulic system reaches 220 bar, the hydraulic oil flows
through the pressure disconnection valve back into the oil tank.
