The variable displacement M(3)B Series

axial piston hydraulic motor comes in a
wide variety of sizes, providing flexibility
to meet applications from small to very
large crawler cranes and other
construction machines. The motor’s
spherical valve plate assures good
cavitation resistance and high starting

provides excellent stability.

Widely used as a winch motor for construction

machines such as truck cranes, the compact
M2X Series hydraulic motor features a built-in
mechanical brake to hold the load securely.
Built-in relief and make-up valves allow easy
installation directly on a gearbox. Connected
directly to the ports of the hydraulic motors,
the KDC Series counterbalance valve prevents
loads from dropping freely and regulates
lowering speed smoothly by
generating the required back pressure
to the winch motor.

Kawasaki MX-RG, M3X-RG Series low speed,

high torque hydraulic motors are the right
solution for cutters and other large mobile
units with high torque demands. A variety of
motor sizes and
gearboxes provide
a wide range of
geared high
torque motors
for heavy duty
applications.

Compact and modular, the geared case-rotating type DNB Series

dual-speed motor is ideal for direct drive applications. Mounted inside
transport wheels or winch pulleys, the DNB Series provides high
efficiency and long life. The low noise motor has large internal bearings
that can handle the weight and thrust of road rollers and other heavy
machinery.

The high efficiency K4V Series bi-directional piston pump provides

highly accurate control and excellent resolution. An optional flow
cut-off can be added for energy saving systems. The accessory pumps
and valves required by hydrostatic transmission specifications are
compactly assembled inside the K4V pump. A system configured with
a K4V pump and a DNB case-rotating geared motor supplies a wide
range of available speeds.

preferred solution to combination drives in injection
molding machines and other industrial high torque
applications. Engineered for long life under demanding

Electronic pump controls can be actuated

by computer to provide integrated control
systems for precision, high speed
applications such as the test platform
shown here. The “ILIS” control module
features integral sensors that measure
swash plate angle for feedback control
to the computer.

The sturdy, highly efficient MX, M2X, M3X Series axial piston
motor is a mid-speed, mid-torque motor with high load capacity
bearings, enabling it to withstand the axial load of the screw in
injection molding applications. Eliminating the bearing box inside
the injection molding machine provides design flexibility,
simplifies construction, and reduces cost.

Multiple MX, M3X Series

axial piston hydraulic motors
provide the driving force to
turn a giant boring machine
efficiently. A special spherical
surface type valve plate
significantly improves the
starting efficiency, enabling
the motor to start the
machine under full load.

remains the choice of industry
leaders today.

Kawasaki B Series screw

pumps are popular in marine
applications because the
screw mechanism is
extremely quiet compared
with piston type pumps.
Continuous operation and
very low fluctuation of
hydraulic pressure minimizes
vibration, resulting in quieter
overall system operation.

 Kawasaki high pressure, long life K3VL &
K3VG Series hydraulic pumps provide high
pressure (4500 & 5000 psi) and continuous driving
capability required for applications such as derrick
cranes and winches.

For applications such as mooring winches, where

reliability and high torque are required, a Staffa high
torque, low speed radial piston motor coupled with a
ring gear offers a simple, economical solution. The motor’s
hydrostatically balanced design minimizes internal metal to
metal contact, reducing friction for high mechanical efficiency
and long life. Staffa motors have demonstrated their reliability
in over 45 years of successful operation worldwide.

Kawasaki steering gear mechanisms provide hydraulic

control of the rudder to guide ocean-going vessels.
To provide continuous operation without interruption,
a complete back-up system with duplicated electric
motors, reservoirs, and pumps are engineered to ensure
reliable guidance even if an individual unit fails.

The MX, M3X Series swash plate type axial piston

motor has good self-priming capability and high
starting efficiency due to its spherical valve plate
design. Shaft creep is minimized because of stable
retention of the cylinder, enabling the
motor to hold a windlass drum steady
with less slip.

Kawasaki KDC Series counterbalance valves prevent

loads from dropping freely by generating the necessary
back pressure for the motor driving a windlass drum. The
counterbalance valve smoothly regulates the speed of the
load during lowering or hauling with adequate damping
to minimize fluctuation. Valves can be directly connected
to Kawasaki hydraulic motors to reduce assembly time
and complexity.
