Excavator Volvo 210. Design and technical characteristics

The Volvo 210 crawler excavator is characterized by high performance, ergonomics, ease of operation, efficiency and reliability. The versatility of special construction equipment allows the machine to be used almost everywhere. Disadvantages include low speed compared to wheeled vehicles, as well as the inability to independently move between construction sites. Maximum productivity is achieved when using the Volvo 210 excavator in quarries, construction, utilities and mining.

Description and features

One of the most popular types of equipment from Volvo Construction Equipment are excavators. The Volvo EC 210 track model is in great demand in this segment. This machine was developed using the company’s extensive experience and the latest technological developments. One of the outstanding advantages is the use of a power plant of our own production, which is characterized by a low level of toxic emissions and fairly high performance characteristics.

The Volvo 210 crawler excavator is capable of performing a very wide range of different jobs, which is precisely what influenced its popularity. But compared to wheeled vehicles, this model is significantly inferior to them in terms of movement speed. Also, to transport an excavator, a trawl must be used, since this type is not allowed to move on public roads. All these disadvantages are compensated by performing work with a high degree of load, due to which the equipment is often found when working in quarries, deposits and large construction organizations.

Currently, the excavator is very popular not only on the world market, but also on the Russian market. Many organizations need technology of this kind, despite the saturation of this segment.

The Volvo EC 210 comes standard with a standard chassis, ROPS cab, digging bucket and classic boom and handle.

The excavator has a lot of different features and advantages, of which it should be noted:

• The cabin has a special design that provides excellent visibility of the work area, increased safety, high productivity, and operator comfort.
• The engine is an in-house development of Volvo Construction Equipment and is the best in its class in terms of environmental friendliness and efficiency.
• The machine uses an advanced “quick-couple” system, thanks to which the work equipment can be changed directly at the workplace in just a matter of minutes.
• The hydraulic system has been completely improved, which has a positive effect not only on lifting capacity, but also on making the attachments easier to operate.
• The design of the turntable was designed in such a way that maintenance personnel had full access to the components and elements of the power plant and hydraulic system. This also makes maintenance very convenient.
• This excavator is distinguished by the highest quality of its units and components. This ensures uninterrupted operation of the machine under any load.

This model used the ASWM hydraulic system, which, in comparison with other models, has increased productivity, maneuverability and, importantly, high accuracy. The hydraulic system itself includes two axial-piston hydraulic pumps of variable capacity. This system allows the operator to perform both simultaneous and independent movement of working bodies. Maintenance of the excavator will not require large financial investments, since the manufacturer has reduced costs by increasing service intervals.

These days, the Volvo 210 is no longer mass-produced, however, the model is often used in almost all areas of activity, while ensuring high business profitability.

In addition to its basic equipment, the design of the equipment provides for the installation of a fairly large number of various attachments, namely: a variety of buckets, a hydraulic breaker, drilling equipment, rippers, vibrating ramming equipment, hydraulic shears, hydraulic locks and much more. Thanks to all this, the versatility of the machine was achieved.

Elements and parts most susceptible to wear have a huge margin of safety, which ensures a long service life. The design provides maintenance personnel with full access to the main elements, which greatly simplifies the maintenance process. The use of large service covers made it possible to replace consumables without any difficulty. All lubrication points have been grouped, which, together with centralized filters, not only simplifies maintenance, but also speeds up the process. This has a positive effect on the performance of the excavator, since downtime is reduced, and the duration of trouble-free and proper operation, on the contrary, increases significantly.

It should also be noted that the operator’s cabin is quite spacious and comfortable. A large number of different materials were used in it, thanks to which the level of extraneous noise and vibrations arising during the working process was noticeably reduced, which minimizes operator fatigue when performing any work over a fairly long period of time. The main features of the cabin are hydraulically damped mounting supports, which help reduce vibration levels and smooth out strong shaking, as well as increased air filtration. Standard cab equipment includes the following:

• There is a comfortable operator seat with full adjustment.
• Radio receiver with flexible antenna.
• Controls made in the form of joysticks.
• A lever responsible for blocking the hydraulic system in emergency situations.
• There is a spacious compartment designed to store various tools or personal belongings of the operator.
• A small ashtray and cigarette lighter are provided.
• Floor mat.
• Cup holder.
• Tinted all windows.
• Sound signal.
• Door locks.
• Inertial seat belt.
• Removable bottom glass.
• Front windshield wiper.

The Volvo EC 210 features several advanced features that make driving easier. Let's look at them in more detail:

• In boom float mode, the boom can be above the ground without putting pressure on the hydraulic cylinders. When lowering it, the hydraulic pumps are not activated, since the entire process is carried out using the boom’s own mass. This ensures that the hydraulic system is not stressed, allowing all the power to be directed to other operations. Thus, the operating cycle time was significantly reduced. But in addition, this mode provides simplified control and eliminates excessive shock loads that can occur when using a hydraulic breaker.
• The excavator has an advanced preset pressure system, thanks to which the operation of the machine has become even easier due to pre-setting. The operator can select the required pressure on the I-ECU monitor. The selected parameters can then be saved in the equipment management system.
• There is a control system called Contronics. This system has several modes and automatic diagnostic functions, which further facilitates excavator maintenance.
• There is a special system that allows you to control hydraulic power depending on the crankshaft speed.

The Volvo 210 crawler excavator has a six-cylinder diesel power unit, developed by the Volvo brand. This engine has a fuel filter with a water separator, which together ensure proper operation of the power plant regardless of fuel quality and temperature conditions. There is also an air pre-cleaner, which is very useful when operating in dusty conditions, and an engine block heating system. Heating allows easy starting of the engine even at the lowest temperatures and maintains its proper operation.

The Volvo 210 has established itself as a reliable and unpretentious example of earthmoving equipment. Its popularity is dictated by a number of advantages, including:

• improved power plant with a large power reserve;
• optimized multi-mode hydraulic system;
• availability of repair and diagnostics of most components/mechanisms;
• greater visibility of the driver's cab;
• possibility of installing auxiliary suspension systems;
• good driving performance;
• wide range of operating modes;
• automated control system.

When improving Volvo construction machines, no small importance is given to the driver’s workplace. To ensure comfortable work for the operator, an air conditioner with manual control settings is installed inside the excavator cabin, as well as a multi-mode heating system, plus a heated seat.

The main disadvantage is related to the transportation of this type of equipment. Driving excavators on public roads is not permitted. Because of this, it is necessary to resort to the help of a trawl, which causes some difficulties and delays in work.

Excavator Maintenance

Unlike the Russian tradition of the automotive industry, where one of the most important advantages of technology is “on-the-fly” repairs, European manufacturers have relied on high-tech mechanisms that require professional repairs. However, Volvo has done everything possible to make daily care and control of basic parameters easier for the operator. The hood is equipped with a convenient opening mechanism, and the main components are equipped with large service covers. Operations such as checking the oil or coolant level or inspecting the engine do not take much time.

Detailed information about excavator maintenance is found in the owner's manual and would require a separate article. Among the main works, the following can be noted.

Daily (performed every 10 operating hours):

• checking the oil level;
• checking the coolant level;
• checking the electrolyte level in the battery;
• checking the tension of the generator drive belt;
• cleaning the water separator.

Weekly (every 50 operating hours):

• adding lubricant to working units;
• checking and adjusting track tension.

Quarterly (every 500 operating hours):

• changing engine oil;
• turntable lubrication;
• radiator cleaning.

Due to its excellent resource and operational parameters, the earthmoving module is in demand among users. Often on the Internet, when searching for information about a car, error codes appear. As a result, you may encounter the following data: 42053 - Lego Technic Volvo EW 160E, which means the following.

The LEGO Group, a private family company for the production of play kits, with the assistance of Volvo Construction Equipment, has developed a mini-copy of the EW 160E excavator assembly toy, which differs from the original in size and design. The model is equipped with a detailed cabin, seat, visor, armrests and mirrors. LEGO is made on wheels.

Hydraulic system

A high-quality and powerful hydraulic system guarantees increased productivity, maneuverability and accuracy of work operations. ASWM hydraulics with twin variable flow axial piston pumps are installed as standard. The hydraulic circuit of the Volvo 210 excavator ensures precise, smooth and independent movement of the working parts.

Modern innovations include:

• the ability to pre-configure the system to the required parameters and save them for subsequent operation;
• The floating mode of operation of the boom mechanism allows you to reduce power consumption for lowering and the duration of the working cycle, reduce cylinder wear and dynamic impacts when working with a hydraulic hammer, and simplify machine control.

295 liters of hydraulic fluid circulates in the hydraulic system.

Captain America

Having covered about a thousand kilometers in a day, on the fourth day we arrived in Yaroslavl. There I had to meet the Volvo VNL bonnet, which we called “America” by analogy with the FH12, and, having uncoupled, went to Moscow on one tractor for another semi-trailer. For this purpose, a set of lamps for the semi-trailer lights was prepared in a designated place in the cabin: the electrical equipment on the America is 12-volt. Subsequently, it turned out that there are semi-trailers with LED lights, which reduces the preparation time of the road train and eliminates the possibility of error.

Climbing into the cabin and gasping in surprise - this is how one can describe the emotions after the first visit to the cabin of an American highway. Having admired the beautiful fittings of the cabinets, shelves and spaciousness, I mentally wished myself to quickly complete today’s route so that by nightfall I could sleep in a one-and-a-half-length “sleeping bag.”

The driving style of a single American half-stellar is somewhat reminiscent of a Hummer, only the Volvo VNL64T is huge, luxurious and at the same time three-axle! The huge hood is perfectly controlled with the help of additional hemispherical mirrors and seems not so big from the small windshield of the cabin, without making it difficult to control the car at all.

The American Volvo VNL has a living compartment with wardrobes, a refrigerator and a two-tier convertible coupe, which has an individual control panel for the heater and ventilation of the sleeping compartment, for dumping maps, waybills, and other papers and creating a creative “mess.”

The selection of transmission gear ratios and traction characteristics are such that the “unharnessed” bonnet tends to tear apart everyone at a traffic light - cars, trucks, and minibuses. The absence of a maximum speed limiter, unlike a European car, allows you to easily reach 80... no, not km/h, but miles! (128 km/h), but how much diesel fuel will I “save” then? In general, enough of violating traffic rules, let’s drive calmly.

Approaching Moscow, we were increasingly delayed at traffic lights. It was either the fatigue accumulated over the days of the flight, or the capital's road rudeness, but the process of starting off began to irritate me in the evening. The gearbox here is also automated, but in a different way - in the American way. To engage first gear, you need to depress the clutch, then everything happens automatically until the next complete stop. At first it seemed to me that the clutch drive was faulty, such a large squeezing force was required, but my colleagues at the CB radio suggested that this was just a characteristic feature of all hooded tractors with a semi-automatic, as drivers call it, transmission. The very moment of engaging the “touching” 1st or 2nd gear is sometimes delayed, which causes dissatisfaction with the traffic coming from behind.

But all these shortcomings seemed like flowers already on the next flight, where we broke down! Nothing predicted...
