Kawasaki K3VG180 Swash Plate Type Axial Piston Pump
- Product Details
- Product Model
- FAQ
The Kawasaki K3VG180 is a high-performance, variable-displacement axial piston pump designed for demanding hydraulic systems. Central to its operation is the swash plate design, with multiple pistons housed in a rotating cylinder block. As the cylinder block rotates, the pistons reciprocate against a tilted, non-rotating swash plate. The angle of this plate directly controls the piston stroke length, varying the pump's displacement and output flow. The K3VG180 features a through-drive shaft, allowing multiple pump units to be assembled in series.
This model excels in high-pressure applications (up to 350 bar or more continuous pressure), offering excellent efficiency, a compact structure, and responsive control. It typically includes an integrated electro-hydraulic servo mechanism for precise swash plate angle adjustment, enabling advanced electronic control of flow proportional to input signals (such as from a vehicle ECU or industrial controller). The design ensures smooth operation with low noise and pulsation.
Primary applications include heavy-duty mobile machinery such as excavators, cranes, and advanced industrial equipment where reliable, variable-flow hydraulic power is essential. The K3VG series is known for its robustness, durability, and ability to handle challenging working conditions, making the K3VG180 a key component in sophisticated hydraulic circuits.
