The two main pumps supply oil at high pressure (up to 5000 <a href="/wiki/Pounds_per_square_inch" class="mw-redirect" title="Pounds per square inch">psi</a>, 345 bar) for the <a href="/wiki/Hydraulic_cylinder" title="Hydraulic cylinder">arms</a>, swing motor, track motors and accessories while the third is a lower pressure (≈700 <a href="/wiki/Pounds_per_square_inch" class="mw-redirect" title="Pounds per square inch">psi</a>, 48 bar) pump for pilot control of the <a href="/wiki/Hydraulic_machinery#Control_valves" title="Hydraulic machinery">spool valves</a>; this third circuit allows for reduced physical effort when operating the controls. Generally, the 3 pumps used in excavators consist of 2 variable displacement piston pumps and a gear pump. The arrangement of the pumps in the excavator unit changes with different manufacturers using different formats. </p><p>The three main sections of an excavator are the <a href="/wiki/Chassis" title="Chassis">undercarriage</a>, the house and the arm. The boom, the front part that is attached to the cab itself and holds the arm, is also used. The undercarriage includes tracks, track frame, and final drives, which have a <a href="/wiki/Hydraulic_motor" title="Hydraulic motor">hydraulic motor</a> and gearing providing the drive to the individual tracks. The undercarriage, especially frequently for a mini-excavator, can also have <a href="/wiki/Bulldozer#Blade" title="Bulldozer">blade</a> similar to that of a bulldozer. The house includes the operator cab, <a href="/wiki/Counterweight" title="Counterweight">counterweight</a>, engine, fuel and hydraulic oil tanks. The house attaches to the undercarriage by way of a center pin. High-pressure oil is supplied to the tracks' hydraulic motors through a hydraulic swivel at the axis of the pin, allowing the machine to slew 360° unhindered and thus provides the left-and-right movement.<sup id="cite_ref-mx270a_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mx270a-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The arm provides the up-and-down and closer-and-further (or digging movement) movements.

These are also called triple-articulated booms (TAB) or 3 piece booms.</li></ul> <p>Attached to the end of the boom is the stick (or dipper arm). The stick provides the digging movement needed to pull the bucket through the ground. The stick length is optional depending whether reach (longer stick) or break-out power (shorter stick) is required. Most common is mono stick but there are also, for example, telescopic sticks. The largest form ever of an excavator, the <a href="/wiki/Dragline_excavator" title="Dragline excavator">dragline excavator</a>, eliminated the dipper in favor of a line and <a href="/wiki/Winch" title="Winch">winch</a>. </p><p>On the end of the stick is usually a <a href="/wiki/Bucket_(machine_part)" title="Bucket (machine part)">bucket</a>. A wide, large capacity (mud) bucket with a straight cutting edge is used for cleanup and levelling or where the material to be dug is soft, and teeth are not required. A general purpose (GP) bucket is generally smaller, stronger, and has hardened side cutters and teeth used to break through hard ground and rocks. Buckets have numerous shapes and sizes for various applications. There are also many other attachments that are available to be attached to the excavator for boring, ripping, crushing, cutting, lifting, etc. Attachments can be attached with pins similar to other parts of the arm or with some variety of <a href="/wiki/Quick_coupler" title="Quick coupler">quick coupler</a>. Excavators in Scandinavia often feature a <a href="/wiki/Tiltrotator" title="Tiltrotator">tiltrotator</a> which allows attachments rotate 360 degrees and tilt +/- 45 degrees, in order to increase the flexibility and precision of the excavator. </p><p>Before the 1990s, all excavators had a long or conventional counterweight that hung off the rear of the machine to provide more digging force and lifting capacity. This became a nuisance when working in confined areas. In 1993 <a href="/wiki/Yanmar" title="Yanmar">Yanmar</a> launched the world's first Zero Tail Swing excavator,<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which allows the counterweight to stay inside the width of the tracks as it slews, thus being safer and more user friendly when used in a confined space. This type of machine is now widely used throughout the world. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Minibagger_Beschreibung.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/Minibagger_Beschreibung.jpg/250px-Minibagger_Beschreibung.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="259" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/Minibagger_Beschreibung.jpg/330px-Minibagger_Beschreibung.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/Minibagger_Beschreibung.jpg/500px-Minibagger_Beschreibung.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3144" data-file-height="3696" /></a><figcaption>Hydraulic excavator controls illustration, color of the control matches the moving part</figcaption></figure> <p>There are two main types of control configuration used in excavators to control the boom and bucket, each distributing the four primary digging functions across two x-y joysticks.
