The Hyundai R450-7, R500LC-7, and R450LC excavators commonly use the Kawasaki K5V200DTH hydraulic pump as their main hydraulic pump. This axial piston pump provides the necessary flow and pressure to power various excavator functions like
Arm and bucket movement Precise control for lifting, digging, and dumping operations.
Track drive Enables maneuvering and positioning of the excavator.
Blade control (if equipped) Allows for accurate grading and clearing.
Attachment operation (breakers, augers, etc.) Provides hydraulic power for various attachments.
Key Characteristics of the Kawasaki K5V200DTH Hydraulic Pump
Displacement 200 cubic centimeters per revolution (ccrev)
Control Type Typically Dual flow path (DTH) for independent control of two hydraulic circuits
Pressure Rating High-pressure rating (specific value might vary depending on the exact model variant)
Possible Variations
Some sources suggest that the Hyundai R450-7, R500LC-7, and R450LC excavators might also utilize other Kawasaki hydraulic pumps depending on the specific model configuration. These alternatives could include
K3V140DT-9N39 An axial piston pump suitable for excavators in the 14-ton to 16-ton size class.
Other Kawasaki models It's always best to consult your excavator's manual or contact a Hyundai dealership to confirm the exact hydraulic pump model used in your specific machine.
Maintenance and Replacement
