figure 1, Hydraulic schematic with Charge pump

desCrIpTIOn and OperaTIOn 

(COnTInued)

HydraulIC sCHemaTIC

Figure  1  is  a  schematic  of  the  hydraulic  oil 

circuit . The oil supply for the hydraulic system 

of the ZT-5400 Powertrain™ is also utilized for 

lubricating  the  components  of  the  final  drive 

assembly .
The input shaft and pump cylinder block are 

turned in one direction only by the engine/drive 

belt/pulley combination. Output of the oil flow is 

controlled by the direction and amount that the 

variable swashplate is angled . As the pump pis-

tons compress they force the oil to flow through 

one of two passageways (forward or reverse) in 

the center section  to the motor cylinder block 

and motor shaft. Since the motor has a fixed 

displacement angle it is forced to turn with the 

flow of oil. As the angle of the pump swashplate 

is increased the amount of oil being pumped will 

increase and cause a higher speed output of the 

motor . Reversing the angle of the swashplate 

will reverse the direction of oil flow.
During  the  operation  of  the  transaxle,  fluid 

is “lost” from the hydraulic loop through leak 

paths designed into the product for lubrication 

purposes (around pistons, under the rotating 

cylinder blocks, etc.). This “lost” fluid returns 

to the transaxle housing,  then is pulled back 

into one of the check valves depending upon 

the direction of vehicle operation .   All of  this 

oil must pass through an internal filter.
The motor cylinder block mounts onto a splined 

motor shaft which drives the gear train .
The bypass feature in the ZT-5400 Powertrain 

has a mechanical lever which lifts the check 

valves off their seat. This allows oil to flow freely 

between  system  passages  in  the  filtered,  oil 

filled charge galley.
